So it has been going okay so far. I feel a little dead inside. I am very energetic and positive and need to keep moving when I do missionary work or else I find I don't do anything. My companion is very logical and tactical in what he does. So I have been trying to stay motivated as much as I can. The ward we are in a little hard. We are just trying not to pick sides and get everybody to come to church. 

 

We had an investigator who went MIA yesterday right before his baptism. So we have no idea where he is and had to cancel the baptism last second because we couldn't find him. Pray for us to find him and resolve his concern. We are trying to gain member trust as well but it is a little hard. I am trying the best that I can. Pray for me to stay motivated. It has been so hard this past week.

 

 President told me that I only have to do this transfer and then I would be put somewhere else. 5 weeks left in the transfer. Then I'll only have 4 and a half months left on my mission. That is kinda freaky. I always kinda was friends with the missionaries that were older than me (mission time wise). They are all home now. So I am the old one now in the mission. Feels weird. So many new missionaries are coming in also.  It is crazy. 36 missionaries this last transfer and 30 this next transfer. The group that I came in with was 7 and that was a big group. 

 

I am in Fullerton now. The name of the ward is the Euclid ward. My apartment right now is a dump but they are moving us on Thursday into a new one. The one that I am in Missionaries have lived there for 9 years........... That is a really really long time. The apartment is pretty trashed. We have some good potential though in the ward. Two 15 year old twins are non-members and they come to church every week and everything so we are really hoping to baptize them. We are hoping to find James Styles also (the man who skipped his baptism). It is good to hear that Kate stood up to her friends. That will only get harder as she gets older. Glad to hear they are doing well in soccer as well. Tell them I say hi and that they can watch all my cartoons in the video closet ha ha. I would like a bed when I get home also so thank you for getting the girls new ones. Love you guys so much!
