The Less Active =P

                Well yesterday was my last day of training, I am now a full on missionary today, whoot! Kinda scary because my Spanish is still not the best haha (And my English is getting worse and worse as days pass haha). These 4 months have definitely flown by fast!

                This week was a really hard week, getting adjusted to a new area is never really fun. Especially this one, I found out that my job here is quite different, Me and my companion were sent to this area to focus on the less actives (this area has at least 200 less active familys just in this ward, because some elders, years ago, were baptizing and not teaching -__- ) So we have to cover three different missionaries areas (really huge area for us!) and find all the less actives and reactivate them. I found out that the past two transfers (3 months) no one had really worked in this area, so we are starting from bottom. 
But I am enjoying working with the Less actives, they all need a lot of help and I am glad that I have the opportunity to be here and teach and learn from them. =)

                 But I got some really good news =) Yesterday was "normal" transfers and me and Hermana Fisher are staying in Mochis (of course, since I just got here Friday =P) but my Best friend Hermana Capps is transferring from Ciudad Obregon to be our sister Training leader here. Whoot!! I pretty much screamed and jumped up and down in the middle of road with excitement when our district leader told us. I know Hermana Capps will make this area awesome and I finally have a friend here! Whoow!! Miracles do happen!! =D

Anyways, funny moment of the week,

                 In Mexico when you greet each other, you hug/shake hands and kiss the air by their cheek (I think its called a face...) and as Sister missionaries we only greet girls this way and have to tell the guys no, because of mission standards. 
                 We had just finished with a lesson and I was really tired and not thinking straight. I gave quick kisses to the sisters and then shook one of the guys hands and went in to give a face, mid way through my brain started working again and I quickly pulled away, apologizing and everyone started laughing. 
yep, I bet I was pretty red then. Gotta love different cultures haha =) 

Anyways, Love you all! Have a good week! 

Love, Hermana Orison
 I found turtles!!!! =)
