Well my new companion is.............. Elder C! He was my roommate last year when I was companions with Elder H. It was crazy that we got put together and we are going to get a lot accomplished. At church yesterday we got a list from bishop that has the names of people who are single and between the ages of 18-30 and there are 900 names!! Some of them are on missions and some of them really are married but still that is going to be one heck of a list to try and contact! Our goal is to double sacrament meeting attendance! It shouldn’t be extremely hard since we average about 40 people. So we need like 40 names out of 900. Not bad at all. Our zone is still really awesome. We got some new greenies who seem like they are going to be really good workers. Not really too much happened this last week. We were trying to get things ready for the upcoming weeks and we helped in a Nativity that our stake put on and we had a booth with missionary stuff, mormon.org playing, and a table with a big sheet of paper across it that said "what does Christmas mean to you?" and people could write on it. That had the most success of anything we had but it was really really fun to be there and our investigator C came and we sat with him and had a good time. So we also taught R again and invited him to be baptized he said he doesn’t feel 100% ready yet but he had his friends there with him and they bore their testimonies and it was really powerful.  I talked to his friend M on Sunday and he said that R said he does want to get baptized but he wants to really know it’s true when he does so that "When people ask why he got baptized he would know what to say." He is really solid and we are planning on having a really good lesson with him this week. We found out W is going to be staying here over the break! Her family all got sick so she’s not going down to see them yet which gives us more time to teach her.   Her Boyfriend actually took her to church the week she was with him out at a Marine Ball which I thought was a cool thing for him to do.  She is super super awesome and I can totally see her being an awesome member of the church. Not really too much else right now. Just holding down the fort here in S B. Glad to hear you had such a good time in Disney world! Love you tons!
