Week 77, Transfer 12 Area: Chico Bidwell Spanish Branch Compañera: Hermana Hinton Highlights!! KARINA AND VICTOR GOT MARRIED!!!! The wedding was Saturday and it went so well! The branch is so supportive of them and their family! Karina is getting baptized today in approximately 32 minutes and she is so excited!!! Made mole with our member Hermana Morales! Had some good lessons. Met with our newer friend Rocio and her daughter! Her daughter is so sweet and they are excited to read the kids Book of Mormon together! Please pray for our friend Julia!! She's struggling with baptism and feeling ready enough for it and is fighting with some personal issues right now. Prayers would be appreciated!! I found the coolest quote! Definitely go read the talk if you have some time!! It's called Do Things That Make a Difference by Elder M. Russell Ballard from a Young Adult Area, October 1981. "I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the...

Week 76, Transfer 12 Area: Chico Bidwell Spanish Branch Compañera: Hermana Hinton Highlights!! Andres got baptized on Saturday!! He's the 8-year-old son of a member family and is so sweet!! We were able to teach him a little bit before his baptism to fill in some gaps where his parents didn't fully know how to. It was a really cool experience! Isaiah got baptized as well!!!!! He's the 16-year-old son of a part-member family I taught when I was in Yuba City. Long story short, we stopped teaching them regularly and then our area was whitewashed. He eventually saw an ad on Instagram, got in contact with the English elders, and was baptized shortly afterwards this past Saturday! Saw so many little miracles with being in the right place at the right time. Met a guy named Jose, had a crazy theological discussion with a guy named Ryan, invited a lady named Lilia to English class, found a guy named Art who knew a member in Corning of all places, and the list goes on! Ran into our f...

Week 75, Transfer 12 Area: Chico Bidwell Spanish Branch Compañera: Hermana Hinton It's been a while and a lot has happened! Sorry for not sending an email in a while, thanks for your patience! I hope all is well! Let's run it. Highlights!! We have 4 friends on date, all planning to be baptized this transfer!!! They are so cool and so prepared. We've got Karina (the mom of 2 of our new members), doña Julia (Karina's soon-to-be husband's aunt), and Marlina and Mailani, 2 of the daughters of our new member Miguel! Julia gave us these EPIC T-shirts with our faces printed on them haha, and we gave her a baptismal progress chart; we met her in the Ross parking lot to exchange them. It was a few days before she came to church for the first time, and she told us she needed to go buy a dress for Sunday, so we met up before she went in. Naturally, Ross came in clutch and she's been slaying every Sunday since. And she's been participating in Relief Society at church!! ...
