the Lord's work

Hey everyone! I am now in my new area. It is really different from my last one. There is a lot more english and it is overall a nicer area. yesterday we had dinner with the Bishop of the english ward. We are planning some great things to make this ward even more missionary minded! We are working hard to find new people to teach. It has been a struggle. My new companion is Elder G----- from Las Vegas,Nevada. He has been out maybe 3 months less than me. It feels good to be with someone who isn't new and knows what he is doing. At the same time its a little hard to get your words in because he feels like he knows how to work the area and how best to work in it. But well we are working well together and we had some success finding new people to teach and get to Church as well. The area has been struggling for a while with low numbers but I have the faith to change that! My first district meeting was a little scary because the zone leaders were also there. But I got some really good compliments from them and the rest of the district. I know that we have a lot of potential to do great things. I also know that I now have to set the example and do good work. Its scary but I know the Lord can help me. Before district meeting I asked the Lord in prayer to help me and I soon as I got up I felt a really big sense of calmness and reassurance come over me. I told my companion "I know everything will turn out alright" and it did. I am glad that God helped me. Well time goes by really fast everyday. I have come to realize that this work is the Lords and that I have to do my best everyday to find those that are ready to receive him into their lives. I actually enjoy bicycling everywhere now. It doesnt feel to hot but again I know that the summer heat is really coming up so well see. But well it hasnt been too bad. I love you all. I'll see you soon.
