VC (Valley Center) 

Happy Labor day!!

Wow what a wonderful week! i am absolutely loving it here.

Shout out to my little bro bubby max is getting baptized this week!! what a big boy. everyone give him a big hug for me please!!

Its quite different being in a part english part spanish ward. its weird having the chapel quite full and using the overflow section! english wards. and it was weird having more than 2 deacons passing the sacrament. so many new things. it was so stinking hot this week. its was up there in the 110's. melting. but we are blessed with a beautiful white truck all the time. ac comes pretty fast. our humble abode doesnt have ac. we have a swamp cooler so we keep the screen door closed but the door open so air can get in the house. i havent used my covers to sleep. its quite hot in the morning too. 

My new comp is sister Robinson. shes practically our next door neighbor back at home. they are from south jordan. she knows maddie pack (now married) and more friends i know! she is so freaking funny. we laugh so much. ive had a few close calls of almost peeing my skirt. our area is huge here in Valley Center. bunch of huge houses and farms and green. there was a fire this past week because of the heat. but then it rained the next day. so beautiful. 

So there are 7 companionships in our zone of sisters. so we have to go on 7 exchanges in like 4 weeks. so we went on one yesteday and it was so fun. we walked so much and now my feet feel like i just walked around Disneyland for the day. and my hips arent used to it so they are sore too. but it was so much fun.

This week was super crazy busy. theres never a normal day. we try to go to all the district meetings in the zone and weve got our exchanges and meetings and everything. so much fun. we had Missionary Leadership Council (pics below of the leadership...the council) i wore my blazer because you know...its The Council;) and Sister Radford (she works at the front desk) she made these huge chocolate chocolate cookies!! they were so chocolatey and heavenly. probably gained 5 pounds that day. but it was such an amazing cookie. 

We had a miracle! our investigator hunter. he does bee removal for his job. he met with us outside his house and it was 105 degrees. he has so man friends that are members, always wanted to be "mormon" and everything. we had a great lesson, and then the next morning he tells us that that night we met with him, he had a big bee removal job and got a reall good paycheck. like one of the biggest ones hes had! and he told us that he knows its because he is starting to meet with us! its amazing when the people you teach recognize the blessings of coming unto Christ. 

Moral of this email, is that it was a fantastic week. 

Love you guys!

Love, Hermana Kiara Harker
