Hello everyone!!!!! this week has been full of wonderful miracles for me!!!!!

So I'm not sure if I told all of you this because I get confused with all of my letters to parents and to everyone... but Sister Kramer and I had a goal at the beginning of this transfer to be able to find a family of 4 to baptize and see sealed in the temple. Well each day we have been praying for this goal and I think I've told you that We have been teaching Rocio and Alondra. well at some point a few weeks ago we both had the impression that this is our family that we have been praying for.

So Wednesday night we texted Victoria ( the girls sister-in-law) to see if July 16th would be a good day for them to get baptized and if they would have permission from their mom who's in Mexico..... well then on Thursday we asked the girls about it and Rocio said yes I'm ready and her mom gave permission.... well Alondra said she needs time and that's too quick for her and we said that we know they are ready now and don't want them not to have the gift of the holy ghost not with them. Also the Girl's Mom wants to get baptized and told Alondra to wait for her in December when she comes down..... then we talked about Rocio, Alondra, and us going to do Baptisms for the dead after they are baptized and I think Alondra realized she wouldn't be able to go and so she said that she will probably change her mind and get baptized and who knows if her mom will end up getting baptized. So we told them to read the scriptures and prayers and for Alondra to ask if this is right...

Well last night we went back and asked Alondra if she has decided and she said her mom said to wait for her so she was going to wait... and then about five mins. later she said no I'm going to get baptized with Rocio - My mom is just going to have to wait and we were just soooooo happy!!!!!! This is what missionary work is all about and it's amazing!!!!

So sad news I will be getting Transferred to the Tacoma area called the Mountain View Ward working with Sister Pine who is a Cambodian speaking missionary and from Cambodia. I guess about 35% of our lessons will be in cambod and the rest English... President Blatter said we will be trying something new and see how it goes. Also in the ward there will be elders and my district Leader Elder Johnson will be joining me in the same ward so that will be fun and great since I know him!

so my new address is:

            4525 S.Warner St. apt. 74

            Tacoma, WA 98409

Well love ya all and hope everything is great and sorry this is longer than normal:)

My mom received this text from a sister in my ward on July 9 that said, "Sister Beck is leaving us :(.  She is going to Tacoma to be with a Cambodian Sister Pine.  Sister Kramer is staying and she will be a Trainer!!  She is nervous because she will be teaching in Cambodian about 35% of the time and English the rest.  She also got the following pictures.
