"Transfers"

Well this was a exciting week! we went to transfers and i got my new companion! Elder Mortel, is he from mindoro, haha yeah i dont know where that is either but he is pure tagalog so i will be learning a lot more with the language! The baptism was one of the neatest experiences ever! i felt so blessed to be the one to baptise her and she has truly been prepared by the lord! she was confirmed yesterday, she also has lots of friends so we are teaching them as well and got some more baptisms lined up for the 16th and march 2nd! this week was the last week with elder terry, it was a bummer to see him go because we were best friends but i know he'll do great. i'm way excited to be with elder mortel, we already get along good and have had some good laughs. the area is doing ok, we got two new elders in the house and so we had to split the area again and lost some of the progressing areas but that's all good, just got to work harder in our non-progressing areas! we had some investigators come to church and one is doing really well, sis aipi, she is way excited for her baptism! things are going good we get to move apartments this friday! we got a nice one picked out and it will be a good change the we live in now is pretty bad haha, i love and thank you guys so much for all the support, Dad you letter bout made me cry today! thank you for all you do and know i am happier then ever doing the lords work, Con man sounds like he is doing good, i sent him a little something so he should get it here soon cause i sent it a few weeks back. tell joni and family i love them and thankful nothing happened to them.
