Hello Everyone

This week was good and bad we had 20 lessons this last week which hasn’t happened in a while and elder Shurtz is pretty awesome he is very enthusiastic but hasn’t been able to really learn effective missionary tricks. His first comp was going home that transfer and the his second transfer he was training for two then he had a comp who didn’t want to work so he is happy to have someone like me especially yesterday our most solid investigator got “antied” and now doesn’t want to meet with us and the rest of the day he was just down because almost every solid investigator he has had been “antied” and dropped him so he was just down and I was able to help hum out and told him some of my experiences and what helped me and kind of eased off working because he was having a hard time focusing but today he seems better. So now our area is down to about 2 or 3 people in our teaching pool. This week we are on bikes/foot so hopefully we will find more people that have been prepared

Oh and this transfer is going to be a 5 week transfer to accommodate all the new missionaries. Oh and I’ve also kept forgetting to say that when I was still in KC we were on exchanges and after we taught this one lesson that just went downhill quick something clicked for me and now it has been a TON easier to talk to people and teach. It has been great and especially now that I have to take the lead and show ways to do things like street contacting and tracting.

Oh and I did get the meds and thank you for the hearts as well

Well write you all next week
