"And Then There Were Three" Dec 2, 2012

well this week was a interesting one for sure! we got a new companion this week, one elder in our house got sent home so we got put into a 3 some. our new companion is elder discaya, hes probably the coolest pilipino ive ever met! we had such a good time this week, the work was interesting at first there being 3 of us but we figured it out and man, this week was full of great things! this week we extended a lot of baptismal invitations to some well prepared families! im excited to see them progress as we help them get ready for baptism! this week i learned a lot from both of my companions, we set some lengthy goals that made us stretch and do the best that we could, we talked to so many people this week and found a lot of new investigators. our focus is starting to switch back to investigators and so its been a great challenge for me espically because my whole mission as been with less actives but im excited for the challenge. elder terry and i are doing great, the kids a stud with a fire for the work! haha he reminds me of the kid of the best two years that will just talk to everybody, hes been a good example for me! its been such a fast transfer! its already week 5. the work is starting to progress here in santa maria and its getting fun! well im kinda at a loss of words because of the new news, really throws a twist on things! i love you guys and thank you for your example!
