Transfer Week (Week 13 In The Field)

So as you know from my last email, this past week was Transfers. And although I am staying in my area, I got to go anyways because my last companion couldn't drive. So I got to take him there, and that's also where I met my new companion, Elder Requilman, who is a native Hawaiian. I love my new companion, he knows how to have fun and still get work done. 

Anyways, we met up there, and drove back to sister Gallegos where he dropped off all of his stuff. Then we took our car to our district leader, and he dropped us back off at sister Gallegos and took our car. Bitter sweet day. Now we are on our bikes, which is tough because it is sooo hilly in our area. 

So, Wednesday we just spent the whole time unpacking his stuff and getting settled. This past week we had the worst stats ever because Monday was pday, Tuesday we went to go say bye to all of our favorite members, Wednesday was transfers, Thursday I took him around the area so he can figure out his way around,  Friday was district meeting and we had a few other meetings as well, so not much proselyting time, Saturday it snowed a bunch, so we couldn't ride our bikes and had to walk to places, so we couldn't visit as many people as we could on a bike on a 60 degree sunny day, and Sunday Church starts at 1 now so we get home at 4 30, so again no proselyting time. 

However we did gain one new investigator so now we have 3. Our new one's name is Karla, she's handicapped, I don't really know with what, but she's like 65, lives on her own, and works at red lobster. She investigated the church a year ago but the missionaries dropped her because they weren't sure if she was accountable enough to the point where she needs to be baptized.  Oh, and she started working Sundays, so she's going to be a tough one to work with, but I will let you all know what happens. 

Curtis is still in the hospital, so please continue to pray for him. Our other investigator, Donna Weaver, not sure if I told you about her or not, but she's a super nice old lady, she's 75, non denominational and has a hard time with structured religion? I don't know, still trying to figure that one out, but she's awesome haha. 

Other than that, thats all I really got this week, it's been a super hectic week.  Next week will be better! 

My new companion is awesome and I cant wait to start working with him. He is super enthusiastic about the work and he has really good ideas on how to get members more pumped up to do missionary work! I am so happy to be his companion, and I cannot wait to see our ward start growing with him! 

I love and miss all of you so much! I hope you are doing well and have a fantastic new year! May you all strive to accomplish what you set for your new years resolution this year! :) Have a great week!
