WOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED THIS WEEK. I couldn't decide on my subject line so..... I did them all!!!!!! Here's what's up.

1. 6 Months---

Today marks me being out on my mission for 6 months!! 1/3 through :) My mission mom Sister Williams was soo cute and sent me a celebration package. Love her.

Sister Lane and Williams!!! We were soooo excited to see each other!!!

2. Pregnant

Ok!!!!!!!!! So last night I got a call from my mission president and he gave me a training call! SOOO I'm expecting a lil baby missionary that I will train and nurture. She is due next Thursday at transfers!!! :) #gonnabeamom

3. Where am I pt. 2!!!!!!!!!!!

SOOO. We had stake boundaries change on Sunday-- actually it was 6 stake boundary changes...! Let's just say, when the ward boundaries change, our boundaries of people we teach change. So we've basically been running around with our heads cut off trying to figure out who we're supposed to be working with.

Sister Bodily and I reunited!!! #BYUIBesties

Sooo we covered two wards-- (Taber and Barnwell). But the boundaries went crazy. And our Taber ward went from being super tiny (we could bike everywhere) and now, it is 150 kilometers wide. It now takes us an hour to even drive to the other edge of our area, TALK ABOUT BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

You know, just laboring in the Lord's vineyard :)

Oh, haaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!! (farm puns)

It dissolved a whole different ward-- into my ward! Hahaha they're such huge boundaries because only random alpaca ranchers live out there and stuff. But hey, alpaca ranchers need the gospel too. Sooo because of this, they took away our Barnwell ward :( So even though I'm still in the same place, it's like I'm brand new again because I have to meet everyone all over again!

Ruth and I!! :)

And I will have to quickly move all our records to the missionaries who are covering Barnwell, and take all the info from the missionaries who used to cover Vauxhall (which is the "town" we are now getting). Logistics man. And then in one weektime, I'll have to introduce my new baby to everyone I know, but really, I don't know anyone!!!!! The life of a missionary.

When people take us to dinner

​​Our favorite family :) This is our "family photo," and they're going to frame it so they can always remember us now that they're not in our ward!

Anyways, life in Canada is so weird man. On Saturday, a pink dog wrestled me. Later that day, I was biking past this house and a dude was playing the Star Spangled Banner on his electric guitar in his guitar. Nostalgia swept over me, and I triumphantly shouted "AMERICA!!!!!!!!" Just an average day here.

When they share a scripture on how Christ is the living water...... and so they dump a bucket of water on your head... and then you annihilate your ward mission leader with water balloons.
