Sister Gonzalez is New Missionary in Mokelumne River Ward

   Sister Gonzalez (left) who has recently served in Manteca and Elk Grove, was transferred to Lodi and will be companions with Sister Bolschweiler who was previously a part of a threesome in our ward.  They are a delightful pair, full of excitement and personality. Coincidentally both of them are from Boise, Idaho and were even in the same ward for a short period of time.

    "Going on a mission was the best decision of my entire life up to this point," she said.  "I like to see how people's eyes light up when they hear about the gospel of Jesus Christ." Sister Gonzalez attended BYU Idaho before her mission and hopes to continue at BYU Provo majoring in anthropology. 

   Sister Gonzalez has a restricted diet due some health issues.  She must avoid all milk products, sugar, all grains, and meat from any animal fed with grain. Wow, how does she do it? Members who have her for dinner are advised of these restrictions.  She is willing to bring her own food if necessary. She was glad when she learned that the Kerr's have grass fed beef, and lots of fruit.  She was so excited she wanted to see the cows and feed them some apples. Both girls had fun visiting the animals and collecting lots of fruit to take home.
