This week has been...interesting. Transfers are exhausting. Been kinda wiped out all week, and adjusting to a new place is pretty draining. But we did find 6 new investigators this last week, and we've got about 5 people committed to baptism. So, that's exciting!
My new companion is Elder Eastley. He is super cool! He's seen a lot of the same stuff as me and we make a lot of the same references and laugh at a lot of dumb things that don't actually make sense. But that's my style of humor, so it works.
The ward here is super nice. We met with Bishop Reyelts (pronounced like Riots with an L added) and he is really cool and is making a lot of efforts to help us out. Our Ward Mission Leader, Brother Wolf, is also really cool.
The Elders were teaching a guy named Juan who wanted to be baptized, and we just recently met with his girlfriend, and she wants to be baptized too! And they have a one-year-old daughter, so it's really exciting.
Other than that, not much has happened. Mostly, just trying to adjust and to continue to become a better missionary, so fingers crossed on that front.
Thought I'd share my ponderizing scripture for the week. It's Jacob 4:7.
"Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness that we may know that it is by his grace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things."
Thank you all so much for helping me out! It helps me so much to have people at home who are so supportive of me and are so effective at cheering me on!
Until next week!

And my companion, Elder Eastley!
