Lalalala, lalalala, comp unity!

Greetings frogs and toads,

Transfers happened...we stay together for the 3rd transfer in a row. Which we are delighted about! We're a good team and are finally seeing efforts of our work pay off in small ways here and there, and it would be sad to be split up now when we have someone on date for baptism in the next fewish weeks, because spliting up would mean only a few of us would get to keep teaching him and see him all the way to baptism. We know this is probably our last one together, then next transfer Sister Noun (my trainer, Cambodian but called English speaking) will likely come in, and the following transfer, Noun will go back English speaking when Sister Loy, our #4, comes in from the mtc! We don't know yet who will train her, so I could either be a mom again, or more likely, I'll be a grandma (if one of my girls trains her). We're determined to make this transfer count. We've got 3 prospective people who could reasonably be baptized in the next 6 weeks, and we're going to do everything in our power (as well as pray mightily for the help of God's power) to make it happen. We're also working a lot with less-actives, and hoping we can see some of those return to church in the next transfer so we can get a branch started.

  Companions that plank together...are good companions. We're actually all sick (we've gone through 5 boxes of tissues in a few days) so this wasn't planking so much as just lying down in our graves and waiting for some merciful stranger to come bury us and thereby put us out of our misery.

 The first attached picture is called some Elders in our zone lost a bet, so they had to each draw a picture of one of us. It's a good thing they're solid missionaries, because art certainly isn't their strong-suit. So on the left is the before and after of me, in the middle is a portrait of Walker, and on the right is an interesting interpretation of Dunst.

The second attached picture is last week at district meeting, when we decided to put together all the patterns we have in our closets to create the most excellent outfits possible. Dunst is in all polka-dots, Walker is rockin' the stripes, and I'm looking quite distinguished in animal prints.

I've been in the WA-TAC 37 weeks, and the church is true here too!
