Week 3: New Year's

Dear fam,

How is everything? How is the beach ? Are you guys leaving today? Or staying until Monday? How are the kids doing? Tell them I say hi and I love them. This week has been long and hard and good. Haha a lot of ups and downs but awesome. Sadily I don't remember my days cause there long. But they go fast also haha.  Umm I don't have my journal with me but I will try to remember.. 

We have been teaching a lot of investigators. We teach this girl Rachel in the morning and she is 19 and her mom has breast cancer.. And we are trying help her the best we can with comforting her. We went over the plan of salvation with her and explained what happens after we die and where we go. We explained the importance of prayer to her and how it will truly help her find the answers that she is looking for.. And help her be at peace.. We also teach this Asian his name is Kia and he is really cool. He has a lot of Mormon friends and some of them asked him to meet with the missionaries. He agreed obviously haha. He has a ton of religious back ground with the Catholic Church. He also took a ton of religious classes. And studies the bible so it was really hard to get him to feel the spirit. And the spiritual side. But it was good.. We also teach this girl named NY she is really quiet and she is from Madagascar.. The first meeting didn't go that well haha... But as we got to know her we make her laugh now which is awesome. We just finished teaching her the plan of salvation and asked her to be baptized. She said she wants more time, but she will work towards it. Which is good! 

I have come to understand how important companion unity is. And that we need to work together as one. Since I am in a trio it's been really had to do that there have been a lot of fighting and arguing... Finally I made all of us sit down and talk about it. So we are good now.. We teach with the spirit a lot better as we work together.. Yesterday we had in field orientation and learned how important members are and how we need to have a close relationship them. This week has been pretty good.. I leave on Tuesday!! I am excited!  We leave at 4 am which is going to suck. But still cool! Love you guys!
