Week 19

hello everybody,

This week was a solid week with elder day. I met our branch yesterday at church and they are amazing! I got such a warm welcome from them and everyone seemed excited to have a new missionary in their area. Living with the zone leaders is really good too, their english is not very good so we always try to talk to each other everynight. I was honestly a little uncomfortable with them at first because we cant really speak much to each other, but now its very good! i love living with them! So our investigators in this area are all young men, our branch president and presidency want us to focus on the young men because there are so many here in the branch. The past few transfers in this area, they've had maybe 6 baptisms of all young men and they were all referals from 1 friend refering all them. So our investigators now are about 15 years old and all friends. We have about 4 investigators and see them almost everyday. They come to the church and we play games with them and teach them very short lessons here and there. 2 of them actually came to church yesterday and we talked to them about faith after church. Their understanding of the gospel is improving as we continue to talk so they are making some progress. We also have a different investigator about 70 years old that i havent met before. He was supposed to come to church yesterday but then he didnt and we cant get a hold of him yet. Im just geting used to the area but i already love it! so much to be thankful for around this time of the year! love you all!
