Hey hows it going? Well I am in my new area. It is a really big area that runs for at least 5 miles. There arent many people that live in the area and the neighborhoods are spread far apart. There are about a handful of strong and active members in the area as well so that is going to make it hard to find through the members. Although this area has a lot of part member and less active families and I am sure that we will be able to find people through those means. I will be senior companion for the remainder of this transfer and the next. My companion is Elder L_____ he is from Idaho. He is a very quiet but cool kid who has really good desires to be a good missionary. He is still learning Spanish but I see that he really wants to work at it. I am a bit nervous about being senior companion beceause I know that all of the responsibility and success or failure of this area depends on me! I think this will be a time in my mission in which I will grow the most and trust in the Lord.

The Church in this area is great. There are two really big wards and there definitely are members that are really good when it comes to missionary work.

Well nothing too exciting happened this week other than being transferred haha! I live in the apartment with two other missionaries who are really great. One of them was companions with my former companion in the MTC. Well I can't wait to go out and find the prepared people in this area.
