So yes and no about my first area. It is not in our zone but it’s in our area. Elder H and I cover all of S B zone and R zone for the YSA and it’s in the R zone. But yeah we just met with Bishop S from C on Thursday and it was cool to see him again. He remembered me which was cool. And it’s neat because all the youth that I got pretty close with there are all now in the singles ward. They aren’t going but we are working on that. Yep we still have a truck so that we can move missionaries around, move their bikes and take random things to their apartments that the office wants us to.  So we live in the Northern part of S B.

E’s baptism went really well. It started around 6 because we were a half hour late but it was alright. E was just really happy to be there. He was just kind of "eh.." about the baptism part because he’s been baptized a few other times but her was REALLY excited about the confirmation. It was neat to be able to do that. He had a really good turn out too which was awesome. Afterwards he gave Elder D and me each one of his ties. I got a pretty awesome new clip on tie haha. We do actually have Spanish missionaries in our zone but that’s all. I think my favorite part about being a missionary is seeing the miracles that happen all the time. We have seen our zone have SO much success this last week it’s crazy. When the APs called this morning to talk about numbers they said our zone had the most new investigators than any other zone. We had 31 this last week. We also as a zone this week had about 337 contacts which almost tripled what they have been getting in the past. The coolest thing is that almost all of those new investigators came from contacting which means that people were being let in when they were knocking on doors. Some missionaries still don’t get it though they just expect that investigators will fall in their laps without them doing anything. It was great when we would get calls from our missionaries and they would say. Guys guess what!  And they would be sooo excited that they found people and I loved that they would call and share it with us. But yeah. Most of our week was spent tracting but like I said last week we were working with going with everyone in our zone to try to get them out contacting and to be able to just talk with our zone members. It was really fun and we are going to keep doing that. Not AS much but with a few companionships a week. This week we are going to focus on visiting ysa's that are still going to their home wards and try to get them to come out to our ward. So yeah we had a pretty good week. Not a ton happened to us but our zone is doing great and that is what we really want. I love you and hope you have an awesome week!
