March 9 Email TRANSFERRED!

Hello family! Thank you for all the inspired emails! You are so wonderful and i love you so much! Well Surprise! I have been transfered! President is white washing Langley with elders and sister Anderson and i were transfered up to the Okanagen! She is with sister Duong and i am with sister Wong from HOng Kong! Haha! We are serving in Kelowna which is so beautiful....its the vacation place in BC! Yes its more north and still cold but once it warms up this place is gorgeaus and known for all its orchards and organic fruit. you should google it. people are way nicer here and laid back. and loads of old people. our ward only has 7 young men and young women. but thats ok cuz we are going to grow the ward. Sister Wong is so amazing! She joined the church in 2003 in HOng Kong and she has been going to BYU Hawaii and working at the PCC! she is so sincere and hard working...and we love to laugh. She has gotten really good at english. sometimes she is a little hard to understand but its getting easier. It so neat to be working with a convert. It makes the work seem even more important and worth it! Her family are not members so please pray for them.
The members here are so nice and very friendly and we have lots of dinner appointments. They are more missionary minded then the last ward. They actually had a baptism here the week before i got here so thats great. Its about -10 right now outside and we have been tracting in snow but it doent feel as cold as the lower mainland because the air is more dry. we live with an old couple. so its like we have this huge house that we share with grandparents. they are so sweet. the Sipples are theier name. They started letting missionaries live in thier house when they went on their mission to Hawaii. Now they are living with us. its kind of wierd sharing the kitchen and everything with them but i guess we will get use to it. So i am happy to be here. i feel like i am supposed to be here.
We have been finding new people to teach. we found a cool hippie with dread locks that we will teach this week;) Old people love to invite us in and talk but usually dont want to budge. I will miss sister anderson....i learned so much from her. But we are still in the same zone. and this is her last transfer. I really love tecahing and we get to do a whole lot more of it here. Thats great! oh yeah we flew here by the way. The man next to me avoided me...oh well. so now i am far from the mission office and most the missionaries so things willl be a little different because we are a little more isolated. but really it is so beatiful here and lots of wildlife and mountains! Very neat.
Well love you so much!
Love sister flake
