A New Area and Happy Thanksgiving!

Know the missionaries!! BE FRIENDS! LET THEM DECORATE CHRISTMAS WITH YOU! I've gotten to do it and it's such a good time and a fix for not getting to do it with y'all! They want service to do and they want to be friends!! I had dinner with President Marsh's sister a couple days ago! IT'S GREAT!. I remember the Logans! we're friends on facebookkkkkkkkkkk, YAY FACEBOOK! We get to be on it, go hastening the work!! ding ding ding. 

Thanks for all the packages!! I'm sitting here eating pumpkin bread right now. I have amazing companions now I'm happy and having fun.They say I'm the glue of the tripanionship. I like resolving conflicts when I can for other people and knowing someone is pleased with my efforts. I love my companions. They're Sister Robins and Sister Clemons. Theyre both really different. Sister Robins is my trainer (step-mom) and is really on top of things and shows us how to actually do the work and answers questions very patiently and with encouragement. Sister Robins is tom-boy-y and has a great sense of humor and sillyness but is so open and sweet and talented in sharing love. They rock though.

lol I love the people here! They are so misisonary-minded and full of service. I love my mission president, even though he's a little busy with so many missionaries. I really really love his wife. She's the sweetest and most helpful! I love my apartment, we are so spoiled! I love my car (the new one's name is Fizgig) again we are spoiled. I love this new area where the people feed us pretty healthy food. I love the gym! Running is soooo important for me to get my wiggles and tension out. I love getting to study the scriptures a whole hour a day. I love that whenever I need to stop and say a prayer, I'm with people who are willing and ready to pray with me at random moments. I love the children here. Now that I can't touch babies, I want them all. And all the kids are so easy to connect with. I love how so many people here have dogs. I love the sky. OH!! and ummm...I might need you to send me a coat of two. I'm going to be a hostess at the Christmas temple lights every night starting Friday and it will be chilly! I'm sorry it's last minute. I love gospel library that we get with the Ipad too. Studying is fun.

OH I JUST SAW MY PIG!! I have on my little Westie ring now. Snuggle her so hard for me!

I miss the MTC a little. But I love where I'm at now. 

Sister Vallidares was my sister trainer leader. Her coming was one of the best days of last transfer.
She brought me a lot of peace and encouragement

They have the prettiest skies here. OH! it rained the past few days.
More in one day than they've had in like 8 years

Here's the Petersons.
A ward missionary from last transfer who did everything
that she would want someone to do for her daughter on a mission.
 She was awesome!

we set up a Christmas tree again last night at this amaaazing home. 

we messed up a little and we we laughing and singing
and it was the best evening I've had since I got here

November 18, 2013 Sister Krueger is a girl of few words!

 I got your package toooo!!!! thank you soooooooooo much, I love it all. my companion wouldn't believe that half of it was her's....cray cray.  My roommates think I'm crazy for not having opened them yet! They don't have self control.
I'm getting transferred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ding ding ding. I actually don't know what to expect, but I love changes. I'm going into a trio,one sister is a visa-waiter.  I'm going to the Citrus Heights stake area...I have no idea where that is actually.But I'll go on Wednesday.

Veteran's Day

No no, my clothes are all fine. But when people go around giving me free stuff, how do you expect me to resist?? Cause my roommate is about to go home and has lots to get rid of. This week was good. I finally have had a whole good day! We went on exchanges with our sister training leader and she really brightened things up. I feel amazing today and I think it's the first time since the MTC I've felt good like this and I love it so much! It was probably my other roommate throwing orange juice on me last night. I didn't realize the importance of shaking the bottle when it's high pulp. So it was all separated and we were pretty dang sure I bought a bottle of orange pulp mush and then the sister squeezed it and it exploded onto me. Great stuff. It was funny, but only actually because I was in a good mood first. I like being happy.But can you believe it's been about 6 weeks already!? It feels like longer but....not at the same time. We find out Friday if we get transferred and whatnot. I think sister Sacher and I will stay put at least for my first 12 weeks cause I think we are just now getting the hang of stuff. We had three people come to sacrament yesterday and had a couple of inspired visits this past week with less active people.
 We're having service days on Saturdays now where we just wear our jeans and people sign  up for us to come do service for them so we can get to know people in the ward or do it for their neighbors too and do our job. Everyone feels bad having us do stuff for them but we want to help out and come closer to the members through doing what The Lord has called us to do. So we told the ward to sign  for us to come by on Saturdays to do their dishes or wash their car/dog/house or anything they need. One lady is having us set up her Christmas tree! CHRISTMAS IS COMING! Oh!! And we get to go to the Temple on Thursday. I would squee my pants off...but I don't wear pants anymore. Well I've always hated pants, I get to always be in a skirt...spiffy stuff.
 I cannot. Believe it is November...I'm suppose to be in a coat! Well I wear a hoodie in the morning and to sleep in a lot but it most definitely still feels like....not November. It's a weird complex in my heart. It feels good outside though. I'm pretty sure I'm determined to be a snowbird when I'm retired and rich. I will have a go cart. No lie.
 I'm so glad you're working with the sister missionaries! (: we know everyone is busy and has lives but we really just want to get to know everyone really well so that we have the opportunity to serve together or find people through the members because yes yes...they are the ones with lives and friends. But don't let them steal all your time!
 Shout to Aunt Linda, I am so grateful for the Goat Milk Soap she gave me because it is so DRY HERE!

November 4, 2013

What happened this week? There was Halloween, so that's great. The dinner we went to was for a bunch of neighbors and we met a couple of nonmembers and got to know some members even better. The members here really are spectacular. Our ward is full of all these past relief society presidents and bishops and stake presidents and patriarchs, it's impressive. Everyone else is really sweet too and missionary-minded. I'm not sure if it's just here or if it is other places because of the past few General Conferences we've had. I love all the kids here too, they easily help me loosen up and enjoy myself. Lots of people have dogs too and I for some reason thought missionaries couldn't touch animals but I found out we can...so I do! Yeah yeah. We've been able to meet with a couple of almost investigators and try really hard to help them get closer to accepting lessons. We will get there! It'll come with a lot of help from the members, so it's great to continue getting to work with them.

The apartment I live in is super amazing, we're spoiled rotten. The two other sister we live with are crazy and fun and messy and busy and love teaching and are hard workers but really know how to make it fun. It's cool to see, they really love what they're doing.
