Chrysler and Dodge!‏

Hey Y'all!!

So first things first I have a new companion! My new companion is Sister Dodge. She and I were in the MTC together in the same district. Think about that one for a second... yup that's right that means that we both have only been out for TWO TRANSFERS! President was either desperate or has a lot of confidence in us, I really am not sure which one yet! lol So ya I am senior companion after 3 months on the mission. What is that all about?!? lol But ya, Sister Dodge and I are NOTHING alike!!! Geez, I wish I had a picture to show you cause right there that says a lot, but I forgot my cord today so you'll have to wait till next week! But anyway, we have already had a few little rough patches in the 5 days we've been together (that's promising huh?) lol but it's all good. I think Sister Dodge is going to learn a lot about loosening up this transfer and I am going to learn a lot about patience and compromise. Fun fun!! I tell ya I am growing so much on my mission!!! Most y'all won't even think I am the same Kristi when I come home! lol

So onto the work.. we have been able to do some work as of late except for I have had a lingering sickness from last week that has kept me down a bit- so frustrating! But anyway we have been able to do a lot of finding and stuff. We taught Sirenia and Aurelio about tithing. Ha ha man you have to just picture it in your head, these two sweet little Mexicans trying to understand two white girls who only know a little bit of Spanish! ha ha but hey the spirit must be working on them cause they both came to church yesterday!!! Sweet! Together as a family they came and Diego went to Nursery-score!!!- and I think Sirenia and Aurelio liked church and felt welcomed. They left right after so I didn't get a chance to ask them what they thought but we have an appointment with them on Wednesday and sister Machuca (a member from Puerto Rico) is coming with us so that wil help and we will see where we will go from here. Hopefully marriage, but with them moving like in a few weeks, I don't know if that will happen. SO anyway we had another little sweet surprise at church yesterday- Minerva showed up! Remember her, Sister Moran and I had been teaching her, but she had backed out of 3 different baptismal dates and then she and her husband started going up to the Spanish ward in Austin. So we saw them show up at church and I asked her husband what they were doing there and he said just visiting, so I was like okay. Well then at the end of relief society Minerva comes up to me and asks when we are coming out to her house. I was all, um I dunno I can't come teach you when you are going to another ward. She said no no we are coming here now. I said fine but I still am not going to come teach you. She was like why, I said I am not coming unless you are getting baptized. She said she wants to and we will plan her baptism when we come. I kept telling her I didn't believe her and we weren't gonna come! (I guess I was playing hard to get, lol) She finally convinced me that she was serious about getting baptized this time, so I set up an appointment and I got a member to come with us, Sister Packer, and so that is this Friday- we will see what happens with that. She is ready to be baptized, she could be baptized tomorrow, it's just whether she is going to follow through with it. I told her I wouldn't believe it til I saw her actually dunked in the water! lol So ya that's what we have going on right now- all Spanish investigators! Ha ha Sister Dodge and I will be improving our Spanish quite a bit this transfer I'd say! :)

Well ya all goes well, I keep learning and growing and loving every trial and challenge because they just keep making me better! As for mail- I didn't receive a single letter this week, but I assume you all are just working on your super awesome envelopes cause you want to win the contest! lol So I hope to hear from y'all soon! I love ya all a ton and appreciate your love and support- it keeps me going! Until next time!

Much love,
Hermana Kleisler
Smiling all the While!
