Hey everyone!
first off i am staying in Summerwood and Elder Hobbs is leaving.  I will get a new companion, or companions (there is a good chance of a trio in our district.) but yeah I am excited for a change! but also I think I might personally knock every door in this area. but oh well.

So this week was so much better. The hard work and perseverance of the last 2 weeks paid off! We taught 13 lessons this week which is almost triple what we taught the last 2 weeks combined. The members helped us out a lot too, because when we have a lesson set they will give us a ride and go with us so we could avoid the rain. The rain is nuts here I didn't know there could be that much water in the sky! We would be out on our bikes and drenched in seconds. and you can't really wear a coat because if you wear a coat you will be drenched with sweat, if you don't you just get drenched with rain. So yeah its fun.

One of the best things this week is we were biking home one night and this super drunk guy calls to us and wanted us to come talk to him, so we did. He turned out to be a Jehovah's witness, but I am pretty sure he wasn't practicing because he was at a birthday party and JWs don't celebrate anything. but anyway he gave us some really good bbq and talked to us about... stuff... it was super funny. He was like "I'm not going to lie I have been drinking all day". Which was pretty easy to see. He also told us he would come to church but that's if sober him remembered. That was a really fun night. The rest of the week was just normal missionary work stuff, we got the chance to do some service and we biked in the rain yada yada. There isn't a whole lot of excitement in summerwood it really makes you realize why you are on a mission, and it's not to to see the world and have funny stories to tell about drunk people (which is good), its really to spread the gospel, and that's about all there is to tell about here.

Wally and his family are still investigating slowly but surely. Tamisha did not get baptized yesterday, she is great when it comes to studying and learning and wanting to change. She has a sincere desire, the only problem is that she works weekends. There has to be at least one hold up right? We are also teaching a guy named Marcus who hasn't progressed at all since we got here so we were going to drop him, but instead the lesson ended up being super powerful and we hope that he has that sincere desire now. Well, that's about it! see you again next week!
