So I have like 0 minutes to write this, just know that I am loving my mission more than ever right now.

Hermana Hardy is the best companion I could ever ask for.  We get along so well.  She always has me laughing.

Our area is amazing.  Sooo much potential!  It is crazy!

This last week was transfers.  And a few funny things happened.  

On Tuesday, we had Hermana Ellsworth with us.  Which was wonderful!  I love her!  And we were making brownies. Well, lately, our oven has just not been functioning correctly at all.  Whenever we turn it on, there are these SUPER loud cracking noises, and then it starts to stink like crazy and the fire alarm goes off.  So we had to stop our adventure of making brownies because of it, just because it started stinking so bad and everything.

So we opened all the windows and inspected our oven and nothing!

Then, I had this revelation to check the drawer underneath...

and I found this poor plastic plate.  That was once a Polar Bear/:

Apparently you can't put things that melt in the drawer under the oven.  Who knew?

On Tuesday night we had our last dinner as a Santa Rosa Spanish Branch.  I love all these missionaries so much!

In this picture they are making fun of me because I have gotten into a habit of putting my hand under my chin and smiling whenever I mess up... which is apparently always.  So yeah.  From left to right it is Elder Parker Albertson, Elder William Wright, Elder Eduardo Perez, Elder Bryant Nelson, Me, Hermana Lauren Hardy, Elder Mori Dunlap, and Elder Dallin Jeske.

And this my district.  Well... the best picture we could get.  I am going to miss them all too. Such a sad thing that everyone is changing!

I love them so much and I am so sad that some of them are leaving!

But the best story of the week is this HYSTERICAL lesson we had with one of our less actives.  We were teaching him the word of wisdom, which we knew would be a challenge for him because he owns a restaurant.  Anyway, we have been putting off and putting off teaching it and finally we knew we couldn't wait.  So we were teaching him in his restaurant and then all of a sudden he goes, "ladies, we are going to have to pause.  The wine guy is here".

We witnessed a full on wine tasting in the middle of our lesson on the word of wisdom!  It was hysterical!!!!

So funny that we couldn't help but take a sneaky picture.  Anyway, we think we are going to have to reteach it.  It was too funny.

I love missionary work.  It is so much fun.

Life is to be enjoyed, not endured!

Have a blessed week!

Love,

Hermana Bryant
