No Trunky Transfer

She told me in her letter to me that she did not get transferred, so she will spending her last 6 weeks in San Benito with sister Martinez.  She's happy about that as they have a baptism coming up they both wanted to be there for.  Here's her letter:

hello, people!


this week it got up to 105 degrees here in the lovely valley. it seems that all of the states around us are getting torrential downpours of rain but we are looking like we're having a drought here. looks like i won't be getting a "mormon helping hands" t-shirt for hurricane clean up this year. sigh.

anyway, this week was great! cinthia is amazing! her boyfriend started being lame about getting married and wanting to wait until june. and so it looked like she was just going to put off her baptism and wait til june when they got married. (the thing is though, for the past year they've been "planning on getting married" and it's always "next month.") so we were worried about her. but. she came to church and got her baptismal interview anyway. and at the end of the interview elder wells had her pray and ask God what she should do. and she said, "the answer comes so clear every time. i'm going to move out." and she did it! she talked to her boyfriend last night and it's for sure. we're going over tonight to help her pack and plan the baptism.. she's moving in with her mom in brownsville until boyfriend will marry her. she is so happy! i've never seen her face just glowing. i think it's because she's known all along what she needed to do but she was fighting it. so when she finally decided to just do whatever heavenly father asked her to do, all the worries went away and she could just feel joy. it reminded me of myself.. fighting going on a mission forever, but then when i finally decided to accept whatever heavenly father told me, all of my doubts and worries went away and i knew it was the best decision i had ever made. i feel so humbled to be able to find people who are actually willing to act in faith and do what it takes to follow god and live his standards.

hope this email finds you all happy and well. until next time.
