5. The madness of trying to get transfers organized but getting to just talk with missionaries I love
6. Talking with Elder Ko for a second about finishing his mission and then realizing...:
- "wait, you would know where I'm going!"
- "Yeah! You're going to my favorite area!" *starts to leave as he's called down the hall*
- "wait, where's that!?"
- *runs, skips, and hops away looking back over his shoulder beaming* *disappears into the sea of missionaries*
- *has vague flashback to Elder Young* "I love Assistants."
7. Finally finding out where we are all going and being ridiculously excited about it all!

12. Getting boxed in at the church where we were able to get food while we waited
13. Seeing Elder Creager with a few other elders at the food court and talking all together as we walked back to the church after eating. Soooo, reminiscing about old times that feel so long ago, and catching up a little. Good Elder. Great Elder.

6. Visiting with sister Walters. She's this awesome older lady in our ward.
7. Getting lost on the bridge! Hahaha! The most blessed mistake we've ever made, it was awesome. ....So the story, we thought we were on x road, actually were on y #thenoGPSlife #itsastruggle and it was a toll bridge! We had NO cash and it was all craziness. The lady at the gate told us to pull over and then go into the building with her. It was quite the hassle and we told her the situation and how we'd goofed. We were all laughing like crazy and just trying to make the best of it! (Also, my compañera had prayed that morning when we left that we'd laugh if/when we got lost haha) She wrote up the bill thing and said how we had to pay it. We would need to get a money order (okay, I don't even know what that is, not gonna lie here!) and mail it in within five days or a check and yada yada. We told her we didn't have checks and didn't know what a money order was...she was laughing with us and so confused. We told her all about how we are missionaries, all about our service, why we're here, and everything. We taught a bit about Christ and gave her the card to see the Christmas video as we got ready to leave. She ran to grab something so we talked with the guy behind us and spread a little cheer there as well. She had told us there was a bank on the other side of the bridge, we could get cash and pay the $6 (yes, six cause of all our beautiful little fees...oops) on the way back over to the right side so that we could bypass the money order thing. She came back and said something like, "because it's going to be such a process for you ladies, *takes the paper back* *slides over $2* here, use this on the way back over and don't worry about it." Oh my goodness gracious she was an angel!! It was an amazing experience, and truly a huge blessing. So, that was our story :)
8. Taking Nini out. Hopefully we can help her a little...
