The Tale of the Shocking News!!!

Hi family!!! How are y'all doing? I hope that all is well and that y'all are doing well and that your new year is starting out great! Well this has been one of the slowest weeks of my life! We are trying to find new investigators but they must all be invisible or something. We have been tracting for several hours a day and so far we have found 3 types of people. 1 Those who are not home. 2. Those who are catholic and not interested, and number 3. witches. Yes we found a witches house in the middle of a Santa Fe neighborhood. And I dont think that they were the friendly kind either, but they also were not home so we will never know. So this week there really has not been any stories of interest.  Sorry about that, but this week is going to be full of stories!! I hope. But any way I am doing well and enjoying my time here in Santa Fe. Everyone here is crazy liberal hippy's though, who are all on there own spiritual journey and have no time to find out about god. Well hopefully someday they will figure out that every body has time for god.

   Well this is the second week of the transfer and after this one I only have 5 transfers left or 30 weeks!! It is just crazy how fast the time has flown by!!! I have almost been gone a year, Makall has her mission call, and the kids are all just so big!!!! I just cant believe that a year ago on Thursday I got my mission call to come here to New Mexico! It has been such an adventure to say the least. But I am so grateful for this time that the lord has given me to be a missionary and to preach his gospel. 

Oh yeah something funny did happen last night! 

Story 1 (and only) The Tale of the Shocking News!!! 

Last night we were finishing up our nightly planing session when we get a call from the Zone Leaders. They start the conversation with saying how good of a job we were doing, and that the stake president, and President Miller are very proud of us. Then they say "Well we have good news and bad news which would you like first." Sister Johnson likes to get the bad news first so she asked for that. Then Elder Godinez says that sister Johnson has been doing such a good job here in Santa Fe, but there is another sister that really needs her. So she needs to back her stuff because she is leaving on Wednesday.... And she almost started to cry, and I am freaking out inside because my companion is getting ET'ed. And so she says that she will be ready, and then asks for the good news. And the Elders take a deep breath, sigh and say that they are just kidding..... I have not laughed so hard in weeks!!!!! Sister Johnson again almost starts crying because she is so relieved that she is staying, and the Elders and I are all just laughing so hard. Oh man I love elders who will play tricks on sisters, but now we need a way to get them back so if you have any ideas let me know ;)

Well that really is the most interesting thing that has happened all week. So lets hope and pray that there will be more next week. Or y'all will have to write me with questions you want answered. So I hope that y'all have a great week and I hope to hear from y'all soon!!! 

Love Sister Chatwin

P.S
