Where I meet Sister Baker 3/10/14

Hello!

This week has been fabulous! Crazy, but fabulous. Monday night I took Sis. Ferry to the Mission Home, picked up two other sister there so we could work as a trio til Wed. morning. It was sad to have a companion go home.. weird too.  We went to Oak Valley, Sis. Bonhams area, I went on exchanges there a few weeks ago, so it was fun to go back. We had an awesome lesson with a girl named Joslyn, she loved Sis. Laiti! I know she felt the spirit! So Tuesday we spent most of the day in Oak Valley, then came to Yucaipa at night so we were closer to the Mission office for wednesday. Funny story... So we had a thank you note to deliver to a family in the ward so we turned on the street and she was just backing out of her driveway so we drive around the block and come back thinking that she would be gone and we could just drop of the note... we come back around and she had pulled back in because her dog had gotten out... ok so we awkwardly drive around again a little slower giving time for her to hopefully pull out and leave. so 3rd try, still there- We were dying.. So we drove around one last time... She was gone, perfect! we got back in the car and then we sat there for a few minutes laughing and then writing another note for someone close by.. Long enough for her to come back and see us.. We tried so HARD to be sneaky... Fail! Oh well I guess..

Wednesday... The big day. We went to the mission office for transfers, Sis Bonham and I are both training.. There were only 8 Sisters and no Elders this transfer, Very different from my transfer when I arrived.. So I found out my new companion, Sister Baker! I love her already. Shes a lot like me personality wise. Shes even tall!! Shes from Grantsville, but grew up in Tennessee. These last few days I have learned so much! Training is a great experience, I get to take the time to go back and focus on the basics, and you can't beat the greenie fire. We have been busy meeting everyone in the ward and going out and trying to find new people. It has been an exciting week and I am super excited for Saturdays Mission Conference. I love you all! Have a fantastic week!

Love,

Sister Kellee Gardner
