E-mail Monday June 15th, 2009

Here's an e-mail we received from Stacie. I am going to copy and paste it, so I hope it works!
I saw cows and windmills- I went to the golden acorn casino ( to use the bathroom
and buy a gateraid) I went down to the border- Got checked by border patrol on the way to
the temple and things like that!

Well I finally got transfered---First well its a long story I first got transfered to San
Diego...working in the imperial branch (Celestial Kingdom from what other missionaries
say) with sister nielson as my companion. So I went over and started unpacking setteling
in...Then durring companion study the next day Pres. Calls and said "how did you
enjoy your stay in la rama?" i said "its been nice"..."well pack your
bags, your being emergency transfered out to the desert, your new companion is Hermana
Alcantara!!!" So I re-packed and we left. I am in Calexico in 120 degree weather no
clouds and scarsh shade:) Not joking. Its pretty much like yost. Its about 1.45hrs away
from the actual city. I live about 3 minutes away from mexicali (just over the border)
there are border patroll everywhere and along the fence there are gloves hanging off and
ropes and stuff from when people jump over. I'll write ya some pretty cool stories. Its
like a completly different mission! But I like it out here- we are pretty much white
washing because ther is no one and this is hna alcantara's 2nd transfer out here so we
both don't know anything. People don't open there doors here- because its so hotttt-they
don't want the heat to get in their house! We're trying to figure something out to trick
them.
Oh before I forget...We only get mail every other monday (because its so far from the
office) so make sure pills get here asap.But we'll still do email every week. oh and why
are they calling him "TY"? thats hmmmm weird...what does everyone think of
that?
Hna alcantara and I were actually in the mtc at the same time but she's from the
dominican republic- so she spoke spanish ya and didn't have the gastar time en the mtc
like I did. So its been a joke between us our entire missions that we would serve
together (Very unlikley to happen...because of our time) wel now look - together living
every sisters dream for the past 10years- Serving in the Desert. There are big things
happening - We've got pres.d's permission to start charlas out here ! so we have big
ideas and this transfer is going to be full of miracles. This moring we went to
salvation mountain- some dude's car broke down in the middle of no where so he decided to
build a 8 foot monument that that says "god is love"- well he went crazy and
has lived there for the past 24 years and is building this enormous mountain of stuff
like that- I took pictures so Ill send a bunch this week. It was interesting. We are
having a blast out here though working our guts out to get the area progressing and to
get the members to start doing missionary work! They think Missionary work is just
feeding us-! I would rather have a refferal!! So we are going to get this work out here
to be member driven. BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING! What name did ben and bri choose? do they
need me to write more? I can...Anyway...I have a list of stuff I could use out here:
popcycles-100,000 spf sunscreen-Popcycles-popcycles-100,000 spf
sunscreen-popcycles-100,000 spf sunscreen-
I can't thinkd of the restd so i;m going to write it in the letter.


Oh everyone thinks there is going to be a big earth quake
