The new companion is Elder Holmes. He is from Bountiful Utah, there are sooo many kids from Bountiful in this mission. He hasnt been out too much longer than me just 2 months. Im excited to work with him!
So as far as the new area I am in Tampa. The ward im in is called the New Tampa ward and this past Sunday it was quite the shock. The past area I was in there was a good number of members and a pretty big ward but here it is really small. We are going to have to make the ward a little bit bigger here!
Me and Elder Holmes are "Office Missionaries". So we help the Mission President with a lot of the office things and the paperwork. We are the vehicle coordinators and are over the cars in the mission. We proselyte just like normal missionaries, but come and work in the office on computers for an hour or 2 a day. So far its good sometimes it can be stressful with lots of things that we need to do but so far that hasn't happened.
As for the work in the are it has been a good week for finding people. We have spent a lot of time tracting because as a commitment we have to tract about 30 doors a day. This area is more in the city and so it is a lot easier to talk to people because more people are outside. We have been mainly just separating the wheat's from the tares and finding people that have been prepared.
Cool story. We were going to a potential to follow up with him and he fell through. We were about to leave because Elder Holmes and his last companion tracted the area before. I got the impression that I need to knock on the nieghbors door so we did. She invited us in and then taught her and she said she has been thinking about baptism lately since she hasnt been baptized. Its been crazy to see how the spirit prompts people. It is just a testimony to me that this work that we all are involved in is true.
More news next week! Love you all!!
My new address is just the mission office:
13510 N 42nd St Tampa, FL 33613
