Another Day in Paradise!! (June 1, 2015)

Comps and I at the temple

So there's this maintenance worker in our apartment complex named Justin and every time we see him and ask him how he's doing he says "another day in paradise!!!!" And I love that and that's how I feel here! 

NEW COMPANION

So basically my new companion is absolutely fantastic!!! Her name is Hermana Roos and she's from Idaho! I've realized I know quite a few amazing Idahoans...But anyways! So she actually has served 18 months but is doing a 4 week extension so I only get 4 weeks with her which is super sad because I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! We both are just so excited and ready to work ALL THE TIME!!! We have already set so many goals for our transfer together and it's just going to be so amazing! We've already seen so many miracles! Like a member lesson that we taught where a non-member could be interested who just happened to be there listening and we taught exactly what she needed (ps we changed our lesson plan right before we went into the lesson aka the Holy Ghost is the best ever) !!!!!! And lots of less actives are coming back to church and AHHH I'm just so excited!!! 

Also I live in the same apartment so I didn't have to move! We just not cover the south area of the ward boundaries and the other hermanas (my old companion Hermana Williams and a greenie named Hermana Green, yes it is hilarious please laugh). 

YELLOW TANDEM BIKE

No that is not a code word or anything. We got to ride a yellow tandem bike that a pair of english sisters have so the day before transfers my companionship went to their house and Hermana Williams and I rode it through the park. It was amazing and reminded me of home. I miss our tandem bike. ahh! 

PRINCESSES!!!

So the last Sunday of last transfer my companions and I decided we needed to dress as princesses in a non-chalant way so we did!!!! H. Williams was Belle, H. Duncan was Minnie Mouse, and I was Pocahontas! H. Williams braided her cool bracelet thing in my hair and it was the coolest!! We looked super awesome! hahaha

MADDIE CHRISTENSEN

So I had a really good friend my fall semester at BYU in my Anatomy Lab named, Maddie Christensen. so this said Maddie Christensen happened to be vacationing in this area and thought hmmm were in Irvine...Taylor is serving in Irvine...LETS STALK HER BLOG AND FIND HER! So they found out where I was serving and used lds.org to find the only spanish ward and came to my building and found me!!!!!!! It was the craziest and most amazing thing!!! I didn't recognize her at first because I think sometimes I forget that I was once not a missionary (i know super weird thought) but then I recognized her and just gave her a huge hug and she told me about how she found me and it was awesome!!! I'll try to send the picture we took
