Wed, 7 Oct 2009

Sorry about last week--P-Day was such that we literally didn't have time to do our email. It was weird, and sucked, but what can you do?

The last two weeks have been a weird shift in the work. We haven't been able to find most of our investigators, and we've been trying to reorganize ourselves to actually be able to work with the ward in a functional way--it's an interesting thing that Elders and Sisters are so different. But the last couple of days, people have been filtering back in from wherever they went, so things are picking back up.

Also, our English ward and a couple others around us just got pulled into a different stake. THAT has been interesting. Our Spanish group that's attached to Moon Valley went with them, so we still cover the area of our old stake, but we belong to this new one. They're deciding if they want to combine our group with the Spanish branch that already exists in our new stake, but they haven't yet, so we're in an awkward limbo. But what can you do? Just press on with the work, that's all. It's going pretty good.

My new companion, Hna. Matthews, is awesome. We're both pretty laid back, so we get along well.

I don't really know what else to report on. . . Conference was great. Both days we got to watch it in our PJs! Saturday was one of our missionary friend's birthday, so we went to their place (they live with members) as a "district" (we're not technically in their district anymore, but they live in our area. . . it's weird) and had a missionary pajama birthday party. It was pretty hilarious. Then Sunday, the members we went to watch it with said--if you don't come in your pjs, you're not invited. What else could we do? It was nice to get a "break." Conference--the Mormon holiday.

Anyway, I love you all, sorry I suck. I have this back-up on letters from probably three months ago. But I'll write you all back and hopefully get at least one more letter before I come home. . . Yeah, that's finally coming up. But, well, we can talk about that later.

Love you!
