10 na lang

First full week of work with my new companion and it went great! Best work we've had in our area for a while now. We had a couple of exchanges and went out and just found a ton. Talked to a bunch of people and tried to see who might be interested. We also had our area expanded by a bit, so we went to go check it out and see what it looks like out there. I think it will just be a nice refreshing break to get a change. Our previous boundaries for our area were so small and we'd been through it a bunch. We also found some less actives and spent time visiting a couple members to see if they had any ideas of people we could teach that were past investigators or currently less active. It was a really tiring week, but we had some good lessons out of it and saw some of our investigators progress pretty well. We are still working on getting them to come to church, but I think we just need a little more patience with them maybe. Some of them are in really tough circumstances right now.
Right now, we are just trying to work out some ways to find some new investigators. We are planning on visiting some of the government people here to plan service projects that we could do to help the communities. We've also been kind of busy with planning for the upcoming transfers. 23 missionaries will be going home this transfer and 36 in July. By comparison, the biggest group to leave so far has been 17. So we've already had to start beginning planning for that and how to move everyone around. This has been made a little harder with a couple of emergency transfers in the past week, but we still have plenty of time. My group going home has to be split into 2 days because it's too big to handle all at once. Half get to leave a day earlier, but I'll still be coming home at the same time as originally planned, because I have to stay to be able to drive everyone around and make sure transfers run smoothly.
Hopefully we have another good week ahead for us! We found some nice people that I hope are ready to hear the Gospel and make a commitment to follow it. Love you all and wish you all a great week!
