New Companion in San Lorenzo

Lia got a new companion, Hermana Arce, in San Lorenzo. She was really excited about this new companion. I knew her previous companion had been hard, but I didn't realize how hard until Lia got home. She was so patient with her and learned to love her, but this was a welcome change! Also with this new companion came some help as a sister training leader (STL). Sister training leaders are the equivalent of zone leaders for the sisters. Lia was doing it alone with her previous companions, but Hermana Arce was also a STL so they could work together and help each other. 

Lake Tahoe

At the beginning of August, we went to Lake Tahoe for our summer vacation. We had a great time! We mountain biked (the ride your bike down and ride the lift back up kind of mountain biking, which was awesome), hung out at the resort, went wake boarding and wake surfing (I was terrible, once again), and celebrated mine and Megan's birthdays. We missed Lia a lot, but that's why we wanted to go there--she has already been there so she wouldn't be missing anything new and we loved it the last time we were there. Laura was a really good sport about the mountain biking (she doesn't love it) and everyone was patient with me on the boat (I'm more of a sit on the boat kind of a gal). The resort was really pretty and the restaurant where we had our birthday dinner was great. It was a really fun trip!
