Transfer Trash?

Hey how are you?!?!?! Things have been going well here in Elko. The creche festival was amazing! The oly stake should do it it is incredible! I will put some pictures on here from it. The performances were good I think and wow I just found out that I am singing in all of our wards next week (except for 1.......we have 3 wards and 1 branch) and I am also giving a talk in spanish on sunday in the spanish branch. Oh Heavenly Father please help me!!!!!!! AHHHHHH! I will prolly write it down and have sister espinal help me translate the talk and then I will most likely be reading it off the paper. I am understanding all the things that the people say here in spanish but I cannot really form sentences...its pretty frusterating but its okay. This week we had interviews with the president and his wife. President felt bad that he didnt know that this was a spanish area...he suggested to sister espinal that he was sorry that they played a trick on me this transfer. But I dont think it was a mistake. I have grown so much here. It has been my HARDEST time......but that is what I was supposed to go through to get closer to the savior. I learned a valuable lesson this week. As we become more and more corverted to Christ we will see that as we are repenting every day, the things that we are repenting for get less and less bad and wrong. I thought that was really cool. This week was a rough one.....but wow I feel like I have learned so much. Had a big anxiety attack this week and I couldn't do anything for a few hours at night but I got myself together and went to work. Sister Espinal saw how miserable I was and she held my hand and cried with me....it was a great blessing. We have been laughing more and more and we have been seeing more miracles. This week there have been some obstacles that tested our obedience. This guy asked us for a ride and he was an investigator. When he was asking he went on and on about how crippled he is etc etc...but I remember reading in the white handbook that it says DO NOT give rides to anyone excpet for members that are coming with you to lessons. So I said no and I have already seen the blessings from the obedience.

I was praying and fasting hard about a few things yesterday. #1 that we would get a hold of casey because we hadnt heard from him in almost 2 weeks and #2 I was praying for new opportunities and new people. First thing, casey was one of the 1st people to walk into church. Wow thank you God! :] Then yesterday we had a new person just show up to chruch. Also We had 20 min til our next appointment and didn't know what to do...so all of a sudden I just thought hey lets go to the creche real quick...normally sis espinal would say to do something else but she was like okay! I was kinda surprised. Then as we were walking into the creche there was this couple walking to their car and they passed us. Then when we were almost into the church they yelled...."hey are you the sisters? Are you teaching gary fine?" and we said yes! They were members and they said that they were really close with gary. All these things keep happening with gary and I KNOW that they are not a coincidence. It is because God is like "sister Fine Gary and brandy need to get baptized right now...get on that." hahahah I love God. He is so funny sometimes. :] Amazing things. I was thinking as that was going on that I want to stay in Elko so that I can see the miracles happen here. :] we will see......sister espinal thinks that I will be transfer trash this next transfer. (transfer trash means that after one transfer you get moved to another area.)

2 pieces of news from green valley! Gerry got baptized on sat and so I am at 3 people taught and baptized. Numbers dont matter but I am so proud of gerry. Sister Garner told me that he was so cute. He publicly said that he wished sister matthew and I were there because we were his missionaries. AWHHHH GER BEAR..... :] 

Oh another miracle here in elko....there is this lady that bishop referred us to and her name is kirstie. We met with her once to get acquainted and then we met with her a 2nd time. The second time she was talking all about how she is worried about having her insision from her surgery immersed in water when she is baptized. And wew were like uhhhhhhhh...................its okay we will figure that out.....hahaha. Usually people have doctrinal concerns.........but we will take it! hahahaha. She is amazing. Well I love you alot and I miss you! I cant really think of anything else! I am excited to hear more about the comp! I am also excited to hear that shar wrote me.........my long lost sissy pants. Mom and Dad I am so thankful for you and everything that you do for me. You are incredible parents and I thank the Lord my God for you every day. It is weird to think that I will be speaking to you in like 3 weeks. WOW time flies doesn't it? I cant believe it is already pday. Know that I am always doing my best and I am focusing my brain so hard tha tit is about to explode! haha. MWAH MWAH MWAH! Mom I have no christmas ideas. I have no idea. Sister Espinal's mom sent her her christmas presents already and it was really cute. I dont need too much candy mom thats my only request....I wont eat it im prolly getting fat. Maybe just a couple of my favorites or something. And remember I cant chew gum....especially in the cold because all of my past injuries hurt so bad in the cold. Oh by the way it was -1 this morning before we went to soccer. Remember that I have the possiblitly of being transferred so after this week dont send anything to the elko address until you know that I am staying kay? :] Mom you were right.....nick sent me these pink vogue glasses. What a crazy! hahaha I was very thankful he always goes above and beyond....I love you all and I hope that you have a great week. Oh yea and last week we played football and you would be so proud of me, I caught a long pass and ran it in for a touch down!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO :] Love you and I cant think of anything else to say. XOXOXOXO!

Mwah,

Sister Fine
