WEELLLLLL I’m in O! yayy!!! If you pull out a map of the areas I’ve been in I’ve really seen the whole mission. It’s pretty crazy! My companions name is Elder B. He is from Canada!! I’ve officially now had a companion from not Utah or Idaho! haha He is really awesome and we get along really well! I’m still confused at our area but figuring it out as fast as I can. We have a total of 8 companionships in the zone including us which equals 17 missionaries because there is a sister companionship of 3. Yes we have 5 sisters in our zone.... that’s a lot haha. We have a lot of really good missionaries in the zone. I miss being in a singles ward. But don’t mind it here. Good things are starting to happen in the zone already though so we are excited. There are a lot of Spanish people here. There are even a lot of posters, stores, billboards, etc. that are all in Spanish only. We don’t have a TON of investigators but we have a few and we have 3 baptismal dates. We set one after I got here and it was a really awesome and powerful lesson but afterwards that Sunday she didn’t come to church so I’m not sure what to do with her. We have been really praying and fasting. Hopefully things will work out. We are planning on getting at least 3 new investigators this next week! And setting at least 2 more dates. Most of the people in the ward are young couples going into medical areas because there is a medical school close by in P. Met a lot of really nice people yesterday but it’s just still weird not being in a singles ward anymore. Our other 2 investigators M and C are both pretty awesome. Christina came to church on Sunday and liked it. Manuel had to work Sunday which was rough. So we have dates for M, C, and M. That’s like 3 weeks in a row! That would be soooo awesome! Oh yeah so we live with members again which is kind of awesome. We live in their upstairs which isn’t very big. But is pretty nice. The members are also Tongans! Cool huh? They are super awesome! Well that’s pretty much all for this week! Hopefully I’ll have lots to write about in the next letter! Love you tons!
