Fifth Area: Hebersham

Okay, so this week was packed with Good stuff. I only have 5 minutes to write though so I will give you the watered down version and then send the details in a letter.

Elder Tusa is my new companion. He is from Lufi Lufi Samoa. He is 23 and he is so funny. He is the best missionary too. We have done so much work and He always teaches with the spirit. I hope that I can learn a lot from him in the next 5 weeks because he goes home then. This will be my first time sending some one home. (we are going to have a funeral for him)

Just two things from the week. 
1. We were on our way to a less actives house and we decided our time would be spent more wisely if we knocked doors on the way there. So we decided to knock every door with a blue car out front. The first door resulted in a nice lady telling us to come back and teach her how to have a stonger family. The next door was a family of Former investigators that apparently had been forgotten about. They were so excited to see us! So both of them were busy at the time (and both families either dont have, or hardly ever have, a man around the house, so we made a return appointment for the sisters in our ward to visit them. 

2. we felt like we should visit a less active named Dorothea. So we went and when we got there she opened the door (after like 10 minutes) and immediately Exclaimed "God does answer prayers." She then told us that she is trying to introduce her family to the gospel. Then she stopped and asked where I was from. I told her America and she said where in America. I said Close to Las Vegas and she said "you are the answer to my prayers" Her Daughter lives in Vegas and she wants missionaries to visit them and bring them to church. (she is a recent convert by the way) She came to church on sunday because she wants to be a good example and show her family that the church is good. 

Okay, That's all the time I have. Hope you all have a great week. Love you heaps!
