Last week of the transfer and starting to cool down!

Hey'all-
I am doing good here in the lovely city of Gilbert, South Carolina. The weather has been very cold the last 4 days. We are used to it being in the 90s but it has dropped down to 60 degrees. We have been wearing cardigans and longer skirts. It is such a dramatic change; we are not used to it. They say it will get back up there so that is good. Although I am enjoying not sweating and the gnats have disappeared. I absolutely love reading your letters they are great. I feel like I can hear your voice telling me about your week. Just think in about 3 months I will actually get to hear your voice! I am glad work is going well for everyone. Thank you for the update on everyone I never know what is going on with them. My mail has not been as plentiful as it has been in the past but I am not complaining. The weeks just fly by so fast! When you work hard everyday that is when you feel the best. We are still working with Diego who will most likely be baptized this coming Saturday. He is ready to enter into the waters of baptism. He loves coming to church and he knows it is true. We have transfers on the 28th and I am getting a little anxious. We know for sure that at least one of us will be moving out. I hate not knowing what is going to happen. By this time next week I will know for sure what is going to happen so I guess I have to wait until then. Last week we had Zone Conference and we had a general authority come. Elder Paul Pieper of the seventy and his wife came. It was great to learn from him and heed the counsel that he gave us. We had a wonderful time there I wish it would have lasted longer. I wore my suit so I would look nice. Most of the people that we are working have their baptisms set for October and I may not be here. That is okay I know they will still be baptized. I taught some training at district development meeting this week and it went great. I know the Lord knew exactly what I needed to train on. It was on chapter 9 in Preach My Gospel which is on Finding People and that is my main weakness. I am definitely working on doing better at that. Although I enjoy being in a threesome I look forward to working in a pair again. I won't have to fight for a turn to say something I will know when I need to speak up in a lesson. I know Heavenly Father is testing me and thank Him every day for the opportunity I have to go through the trails as a missionary. I know they make me stronger everyday. Thank you so much for sending that package I really appreciate it. I will look for it this week. I really wanted to do something special for her birthday. She doesn't want anyone in the ward to know when her birthday is but we are going to do something nice for her birthday as a companionship. This next Saturday is the Relief Society broadcast and I look forward to watching that. I will miss our annual tradition with all of the girls. Thank you so much for all of the love and support you give to me. I have the best family in the whole world. I hope you have a great week. Talk to you next week. Love, Katelyn
P.S. I am sorry to hear about BYU losing to Utah. Hopefully they can shape up for next week
