Hey!  

Sorry I have like 15 minutes to email.  So I'm just going to say what's gone on this week.  Thanks for the update on everything. :)  

So new area.  I actually remember some of the investigators that we have from before when I was here but it's actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be to be back in the ward.  Mostly because tons of people remember me and now I speak Spanish so I can communicate with them.  So that's really fun. :)  

So I got into the area and I knew I had a lot of work to do.  The apartment was kinda dirty and the area book hadn't been updated for months and a whole bunch of general things I know I just had to fix by myself.  So I've been pretty busy with that.  It's been kinda stressful with that but it's good because I'm getting there.  The apartment is big so more room for missionaries to put junk.  And also we do have a car too so yeah.  Then the area was going alright.  We had 6 investigators and a couple of them with baptismal dates but I've only been able to meet with like 2 of them.  

So things were just going kinda normally until Friday when I think I finally figured out how to have really deep prayers with Heavenly father.  There was a huge change when I figured it out.  It's ridiculous because I should have been able to figure it out a long time ago but at least I figured it out.  So before Friday we had like 3 lessons or so taught.  Friday, Saturday and Sunday we found 7 new investigators and taught 8 lessons.  I think things just clicked because in part of the learning (finally) how to pray and also just applying everything I've learned and all the advice I've received.  So yeah!  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get all of the investigators to progress. This is for sure a different experience for me.  Just trying to figure out all of this stuff.  So I'm kinda stressed with everything and all the responsibility but it's a good kinda stressed.  I'm excited for it all though!  My companion is getting there with Spanish but I'm the main communicator so it's different just doing everything.  So yeah!  I'm working really hard every day and excited for this stuff that's going on!  Sorry I'm out of time because we are all cramming in the family history center since it's a holiday so I'll email more next week. :)  

Love you!  Have a great week and have fun with not having school!
