So yeah about the midnight (the exchange of area that happened) well there is a few things that happened to lead up to it. One is that for the last few weeks before they moved me I about got into a fight with my ward mission leader he said some things about my last comp (Elder Brewer) that he really shouldn't have been saying and Elder Brewer is probably my most favorite comp that I have had so far so i about said some rather non missionary like things to him but i didn't I just kept my mouth shut and walked off but I really would have liked to hit him though. but instead i just told the higher ups the APs whats going down, and took care of it that way he the ward mission leader later on apologized and we just kept going doing work but i have lost respect and all liking of him. so that's what happened on my end. the real reason that i got to where I'm at now is that the missionary i switched with he started flirting and getting to close with a 25 yr old recent convert up here so they needed to move him out before it got any further and so they just switched us. and I'm not complaining. so this last week as been really just getting to know the area a little and some of the ppl. we have one investigator that is close to baptism the only thing holding her back is she lost both her parents within a short amount of time and she blames God for her lose and she ain't ready to let go of that so we working with her and trying to help her get over it and to move on. other than that though because of the holidays a lot of the ppl we are working with are out of town so we cant get a hold of them till after. that's about it well i love and miss ya'all.

I got a New Comp he's from Oregon and a really different dude, but we get along and its all fun, we got a new investigator this past week his name is Nick he is so cool. He doesn't know anything about religion nothing at all so we are teaching from square one about Jesus and God. He is the boyfriend of one of our members its way cool it won't take long before he gets baptized. Thanksgiving we went over to the Francis, there was a ton of food and a ton of pies over twenty pies so it was good lol. We are still working on getting Sister Bartolini to get to know more people and members, and this was a rough week for Sister Flores she spent a lot of time with family and what not getting her mind off of the death of her son. As for Alex I'm not to sure what we're going to do about him just keep praying and working with him and hope that he will be able to change his mind about praying to the Virgin Mary, but well that's about it for me I love ya all and miss ya.

Well this past week has been interesting to say the least, our investigator Mary the one whose sone was taken over by "Jesus" well this last Saturday he died I'm not sure how if it was intentional or an accident, but she was taking it pretty hard we went over the plan of salvation with her and got the Relief Society to go over and take her stuff and to give her comfort.
Alex came to church and in Gospel Principles we were talking about prayer and he has a thing about praying to the Virgin Mary so that took up the whole class and got one of the members in that class pretty upset cause we went away from the lesson, it's good though Alex didn't get upset at all he is so awesome and such a funny guy. We gave Sister Bartolini a blessing her pain has been worse because of the of the cooler weather.
We got a new investigator he is the boyfriend of the member we ate dinner with his name is Nick, he doesn't know anything about Jesus or God or anything so we are going back to square one with him and teach him everything. The member reminds me of Mandy she is crazy, and dyes her hair way spunky she makes me laugh her name is Sally. We went and helped her with her car it was broke down at a store, she couldn't drive it back and it was a stick shift so I was the only one that knew how to drive it, boy it has been a long time sense I drove a stick, it was way fun.

Well the baptisms had to be pushed back unfortunately to Nov. 27th, and Dec 4th due to different things and no we weren't able to give that guy a blessing he never came out. But I think he is just mentally ill we talked with our mission Pres. and he agrees so there ain't to much that we can do to help him out which is quite sad I wish we could do more. We are meeting with his mother, we showed her the video "Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration" which is an awesome movie, then we talk about prophets and she wants to see some talks given at conference so we are going to get some and take them over and watch them with her. The older lady is doing well, we are getting her to meet more ppl and come to church more which is hard cause of her medical problems but she is an awesome lady.
Love and miss ya,
