Hi Mom!
So today is transfers and Sister Opheim and I will both be staying here in Coquille. This week was a pretty good one. We went on exchanges again and it was such a blast! I was with Sister Clove all day and I just love her!! She is such an incredible missionary AND she's from enterprise so not too far from home! We slept over at the other Sisters apartment and Sister Clove and I stayed up talking and we pretty much planned my whole wedding! Haha! ;) She is getting transferred so i'm super bummed about that but hopefully we'll serve together again someday.. maybe even be companions! This week we met with a wonderful couple who are so prepared by the Lord. Members of our ward have been working with them for quite some time now and at the Ward Thanksgiving Dinner they said that they are ready to take the missionary discussions!!!!!! They live clear out in the middle of nowhere about an hour away so it's hard to meet with them but we did go out there Thursday and had lunch and lesson with them! It went really well and I'm pretty sure they will be getting baptized in January!!!! Also, i'm not sure if i've told you about Maxine yet but she is the sweetest little old lady (besides Roberta), and she has been taught by missionaries since 2008. She believes everything about the gospel and knows that it's true and wants to be baptized but her family is holding her back :( She is 84 years old so we are a bit confused as to why she is letting them "Rule the Roost" as she would say. She has a baptismal date for the 28th of December so hopefully that will go through. Prayers would be greatly appreciated :) I did get your Christmas Decorating Package on Saturday and I LOVED it SOOO SOOO much!!! Our apartment looks quite festive thanks to you and Chels! Thank you so much! You guys are seriously THE BEST!!!!!!!! Sister Kleinman did call me and said that she will forward my two packages today. So..... guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!? I get to see you guys next week on Skype! We haven't been told a time but we were told that we only get 90 minutes (which will fly by so fast). I can't believe Christmas is already here and that i've been on my mission almost 11 months. It's just so crazy! I can't get over it. Oh! And you should be getting a letter or e-mail from President Young about the whole Facebook proselyting stuff. We haven't started yet but probably will soon. I'm guessing that you won't be able to be on it anymore or send messages. That would probably be against the rules. We will find out more details hopefully soon. Do you know if Trevor is getting transferred? I think if I remember right, he's been in Central Point for almost 6 months. President and Sister Young haven't told me anything about him in a long time so i'm not really sure what's going on. Anyways, I love you and can't wait to see you in 9 days!!
