im good. yeah, for now, elder p is working with another elder from a different area. they go raotating back and forth between their areas every now and then so when the new missionaries get here, they still have investigators. we did divisions this week with the zone leaders. it was pretty good. we found about 8 new investigators on divisions. o and i almost forgot, we had two baptisms this week! technically three but one of them was a girl who was 8 years old. the other two were her brothers, 12 and 10. their parents live in the town far away but now come every week. so its nice. their baptisms were awesome. i really love watching people come unto the lord. its just amazing!
one of the new investigators we found this week is blind. he wants to get baptized but it appears he is mentally challenged. and he doesnt really understand everything we say either. we ask him questions and he just sits there. so i think we are going to drop him. we also have l.p. he is about 43 years old and came to church on sunday and stayed for the baptism service afterwards. he really liked it. we also found a 16 year old girl, and it seems that when we taught the restoration to her, she actually understood it and it made sense, but we havent found her since. so more than anything, we have to keep finding. the standard of the mission has been raised now. 1 baptism per companionship each week, 25 lessons taught weekly, 5 in church, and 2 new investigators daily. its not easy but it isnt impossible. i personally have not hit all of these goals. but i do know its possible. i just have to try even harder. so another misionary shared with me 1 nefi 5:1. but he changed it a little to accomodate for when missionaries come home to parents. you should read it jaja. well mom, i love you! take care! i will try to send fotos next week. bye!
