We had a pretty good week! 30 lessons and 6 new investigators! Not too bad. Haha! So let's see what else exciting happened. For district meeting I taught how to reach 20 lessons through the ward's help. The other companionships are kinda struggling with lessons. I think it was a good meeting! After that I went on exchanges with Elder Allen in his area (he's the new elder). He's a good missionary. The area is pretty slow right now. Not much teaching going on. We tried contacting a lot of people with not much success. I've definitely been where he is in a tough area. I made sure to give him a lots of pointers and advice that would help him a bit.

Friday afternoon was the Farmstead as usual. Boy, was it busy! It's so funny! Whenever a member of the church goes to the Farmstead and then sees our name badges they always say something to let us know they are members. Like "Hey Elders!" The other main indicator that a person is a member (women especially) is their choice of clothes. Usually it is blaring hot and humid outside and they are wearing very modest clothing while most other women are... well, let's just say that their clothes would NOT cover garments. Haha! It's pretty bad out here in the summer! It's really sad... parent's let their little kids and young teenage daughters dress like skanks. Modest is Hottest... that's what I'm sticking to. Haha.

So Sunday morning we had a great lesson with Kristen. We first had a yummy breakfast with the Ponders and her. German pancakes, bacon, fruit... yum, yum! Then we taught her about the restoration. She said she prayed and I'm pretty sure she got an answer to if she should be baptized, but something is still holding her back. She's still hesitant about something. I don't know what it is. We are hoping to go to the Visitor's Center on Sunday. We'll see how that goes. Well, that's pretty much all the exciting news for this week.
