A GOOD AREA IS MADE BY THE MISSIONARIES, NO?

hey mom!

how are you doing? the apartment is good. we still stay in in the mornings. its for the first two transfers with new missionaries. so yeah, being in an area for 6 to 9 months doesnt bother me i guess. i shouldnt worry about not having a good area. a good area is made by the missionaries, no? so i have to keep working and making this ward a better ward. last night we had a meeting with all the leaders and it didnt go very well. noone does their visiting teaching and the family orientation needs a lot of work here as well. so i have a lot cut out for me. but i know the Lord will guide me every step of the way.  well, not much is new, we only found six new investigators last week! i felt great! we went on divisions, me with elder camejo and elder liljenquist went with his comp in santa rosa. elder camejo is my district leader. so we found five investigators together and then the next day elder liljenquist and i found another. so i think its safe to say we had a good week. and we also have one person with a fecha! her name is victoria. she is an older woman with a couple grandkids now. she has a speech impediment i think and it looks like she doesnt understand us but she does. she also has bad nerves and cant sit still. but she said she will get baptized if she knows its true! so i dont have any complaints there. then yesterday i gave a talk on the ensign of august 2010. i changed my fear for love. it was great. afterwards an hermana came up and gave us a reference. so tonight we have an appointment with a member family and their friend. so we are going to sack out a baptismal fecha as well! so its going pretty well i would think. the Lord has blessed us very well this past week. i am not going to say we need to stop looking for people either. we still have to get working on finding more people. this week we are going to have zone conference with president detlefsen. its going to be awesome. i love zone conference and hearing president detlefsen. he is amazing. so i am hoping to have more fechas at the end of this week. it will be a lot easier that way to baptism when we have fechas planned out. well mom, i dont have a lot more time, but if you could send me the direction of your house, that would be great! i love you and take care!
