I think that's what we're on...but I lose count so quien sabe.
My new companion: Hermana Gwynn! (pronounced Gwen because it's welsh?) She is really cool. She is from Minnesota (i already asked and she doesn't know the Frazers unfortunately...) and she has been out 6 weeks more than I have. She spent her first 6 months in the Lewisville area and so now she's here in Hurst the best Stake in Texas! :) It makes me feel like I know stuff when she asks questions about the ward and who we're teaching and I can answer in detail. AND that means that I'm designated driver for this transfer, since I've been here longer, and I find it's not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I can actually get to most places we've been to without a GPS. I am reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally excited to spend Christmas here because I've grown so close with the members here and the people we're teaching. And Christmas falls on the day when we usually have District meetings, so that'd be fun! I really like the district here, we spend a toooon of time together since we're all in the same ward.
Updates on the people we're teaching: B is back from Mexico! She went for some health testing things and she won't get the results back for a while, but she is doing so well! I love B and A. They're pretty darn cool.
We're also teaching this super cool family named the C family. They are really interested and want to know what makes us different. They'll be coming to church this sunday so we're really excited for them!
Something crazy, so ya know how we drive around the bike elders to all sorts of meetings and whatnot, well, there's usually 4 of us in the car, and I'm the ONLY one in the car that isn't new to the district/area/stake. So i feel like there's all this power in my hands with all these newbies. But it's pretty fun. One of the new bike elders is brand new from the Mexico MTC, he says that the MTC down there is pretty cool, so I'm not gonna lie, I am a little jealous that he got to learn spanish in mexico...andele pues. O esta todo bien.
Actually, really cool story. So hermana Dominguez from the ward is super cool and gives us like 5gazillion referrals every time we talk to her, and one day she was a little more hesitent as she was telling us to visit her older friend S who is just kind of lonely and needs some company, but also pretty cranky. So we asked if Hermana Dominguez would be willing to go with us to visit her, and she was a little nervous because S is suuuuuuper catholic and she thought we'd walk through the door and her friend would start throwing her saints at us or something. BUT--we went in, got to know her, said a prayer with her and shared a brief, simple message about the love that God has for her and we even sang a song for her (we actually do that pretty frequently, Dad). S LOVED it! Hermana Dominguez was absolutely shocked that she let us come back, but I guess we never know which hearts the Lord could be softening and preparing to recieve us.
Overall, really good week this week.
I'm glad that the concert went well and that everyone will be coming in for the Holidays pretty soon! And it sounds like Mom did really well on her talk this sunday, nicely done :) Tell Caleb that since he'll be a gradiate pretty soon he should be able to say that he "knows stuff." Have fun caroling and whatnot tonight, let the festivities begin!
Mom-I haven't gotten the package yet, but I'll check today again. And as for Christmas, we just got a text from our Zone Leaders saying that we will be doing a phone call for 30 to 40 minutes and it's just whenever works best in our schedule. We'll be talking about that more this Thursday so I'll let you know more firmly when I'll be calling, but it will probably be anywhere from 10:00 to noon Texas time? I don't remember how far behind California is, sorry.

Les quiero mucho, y que tengan una semana maravillosa! :)
Con amor,
Hermana Sangre
