Hey Family!

So this week was pretty good, slow at times and not the usual week either. And also very sad haha

We had our Zone conference on tuesday, which took most of the day. The main reason was to turn in the ipads that the mission has given out and to give the missionaries new ones! So they are faster and hold lots more memory. we were all super excited to get new ones, but I learned that day that when i turned my loaner ipad in that i wouldnt be receiving a bew one since im a visa waiter...rigged id say. haha but ive really enjoyed having one, its been so useful looking up scriptures and having all the general conference talks at my disposal. but ill look at it a good way that its better for when i get to india. and also that i dont have to do any reporting on lessons and the schedule. all my companions job now hehe

Like I said last week, Me and Elder Olsen have been working hard on building our teaching pool. So our steps in that have been to explore some of the area I havent been in much, contacting past people, and other tools that we have. Its been good though, we have found a couple new investigators and have more potentials we are trying to line up this week. Im happy with the work that is going on, feel more productive than last transfer. Even though we still have tons of work to do, we cant get lax with finding even with the pool growing.

Funny miracle that happened 2 nights ago, me and elder bravo had received a referral from Elder Olsen actually about a 2 months ago. we had called her and she had told us to call in her march when she wasnt so busy. We were going through the records and Olsen recgonized the name and we were like sweet! Gave her a call and she had us come over the next day and taught her the resoration, she said she almost started to cry and felt the spirit. She said she felt the book of mormon was true, she just needs to read more. She has some word of wisdom issues and doesnt like the whole mormon rules, but I feel that we can get her to understand..

We are glad to be working together, Elder Olsen is pretty awesome for only being out 7 months. We are liking the progress and its going to be a good transfer.

Sorry this is short,I spent more time on an email then i thought i had... sorry!

Hope you all have a great week though!
