Weekly Letter 2/2/15

Hi Everyone!

This week has been pretty hectic! It was crazy trying to accomplish as much as we could in the last week of the transfer, but it all paid off because we found some sweet new families to teach! We were tracting yesterday and almost every door we knocked on invited us in or invited us to come back, my mind was blown! Tender mercies! We ended up meeting a woman whose husband had passed away last week and we were able to testify of the plan of salvation. We were also able to meet a cool Hindu family, it was really interesting to learn a little about what they believe and to share our beliefs with them.

Sadly I'm getting transferred out of Vacaville. I'm headed to the Santa Rosa Brush Creek ward. I'm excited and super nervous all at the same time because it's the mission president's ward! Scary! I'm sure it will be good though :) We spent all day packing today and I'm exhausted! Getting transferred is decidedly one of the most stressful things that happens on a mission!

I hope you all have a great week! Love you!

PS.

My new address is:

4663 Sonoma Highway

Santa Rosa, CA 95409

Love,
Sister Lesser

Mom:

What's up? how is everything going? I did end up getting transferred. I'm going to the Santa Rosa Brush creek ward. That's President Albas ward and I'm freaking out about it! They're bringing me closer to keep an eye on me :) haha It was pretty hard saying goodbye to everyone yesterday, I've really grown to love this ward. The saddest part was our recent convert Zach. He came up to me and shook my hand and was like, "Thank you so much for all that you've done, I really appreciate it, you've really changed my life." I seriously almost broke into tears :( I'm going to miss vacaville a lot!  My new companion is Sister Finlinson. I've been on exchanges a few times with her, she's nice but really intense. I'm pretty nervous about being her companion, but I'm sure everything will work out. God gave me a tender mercy though, because one of my best friends on the mission is going to be my new roommate, we're both moving there together from Vacaville, so I'm excited for that :)  Sister Finlinson goes home in 6 weeks. I still don't like talking in front of people :P but Sister Alba pretty much told me that I'm probably going to be a Sister Training Leader next transfer though, so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for that!  Probably the only reason why I'm excited to leave Vacaville is because I won't be fed dessert every single night! I'm bursting at the seams! I'm going on a life style change, my new companion is SUPER healthy and loves to exercise, so I'm looking forward to that :)  haha, we were packing all morning and I came to the realization that I have way too much stuff! But I need it and I don't know what to do about it! haha :) I was able to get most of it packed up, not all in the two suitcases, but it's a work in progress :) I would send some stuff home, but I don't know what to send home because I need everything! The struggle is real!!  Love you!

Mandee:

It looks like you are having lots of fun! Your hair is cute :) I'm glad that you've been able to get involved with so much stuff, but I hope you're not overwhelming yourself. Remember to pray and read your scriptures every day :) Love you!

Kari:

I'm glad you guys are doing well and keeping busy! I can't believe how old everyone is getting! When does Kaden put in his mission papers? Where is he hoping to go? :) haha

I hope that everyone is doing well, tell Kylee good luck with Soccer! I love you guys! Have a great week!

Grandma Nanna:

I'm glad that aunt Libby is feeling better! I sure hope it's not Lupus! I'm keeping her in my prayers. Haha, I need to be doing all of that healthy eating and working out with you! The only reason why I'm glad to be leaving Vacaville is because I won't be getting dessert every single night, I'm bursting at the seams!! haha :) I hope that Libby continues to feel better! Thanks for the pictures, I love getting to see how everyone is doing!! Love you! Have a great week!

Grandma Bowcutt:

I'm glad that you were able to make it home safely and that Grandpa is starting to feel better! He's always in my prayers. I hope that Allyson and the girls have a good time in Utah and that the funeral goes well. we had a funeral not too long ago here for a lady who was very dear to all of our hearts. It was really sad, but having the knowledge that we have that they're in a better place and with their loved ones is very comforting :) Have a great week! Love you all!

Lacey:

Hey, It's good to hear from you! I love the pictures, so cute! I'm sad that I wasn't able to see you guys over skype too, but I'm sure you guys had a better time in California anyway! haha :) I hope everything is going well for you guys and that the puppies are being good for you! How are all of your kids? is Skylee still doing Soccer? It looks like they're all having lots of fun :) Love you have a great week!
