The new area is great.  Along with my new companion.  We got along great from the start. The area is awesome.  I miss my last area and we don't have too many people that work with us here but... it's just seems quieter here.  I don't know why but, it's just not so noisy walking around.  The area is pretty small, at least that's what they say but I've been so lost here.  And my companion is awesome, good at Tagalog (he came in one transfer after me) (his Tagalog is clearer than mine in his accent but I might know a few more things) and this is his 3rd transfer here, he hasn't memorized how to get around exactly but, it's not too bad.  I'm still don't know how to get around.
The area has lately really been picking up.  It honestly feels like the people are more receptive here than in my last area.  So, they have lately have found a lot of people or new possible referrals but, they all need help moving forward.  So, I'm excited.  I mean, it looks like we've got a bunch of great projections but, only 1 person did come last Sunday.  I'm excited to get more of a grip on the area and people to really help them get moving forward.  We don't have anyone else with us at the house but, we enjoy one another.  He hasn't (my companion) had too many baptisms here but we did just have one this last Saturday and we had so many members come to the baptism.  The ward kinda feels small but, I can already see the support.  My first day here I get feed like 4 times and I'm no longer shy with eating food so...I'm just gonna keep getting bigger.  The district is really close here.  I still don't really see the necessity of a close district but, it can be fun too.  
The week has been crazy just with random activities(we had apartment checks and we got it so clean but, sister Koster still criticized us) so, it hasn't been too much just normal work but, I can see how I will continue to grow personal on the mission.  But, I should get more familiar with everyone this week.

Good evening :) Crazy crazy week as always.  Not sure where to start and where to end. Unfortunately Mark's baptism had to be postponed.  He is still coming to church and loves learning and wants to get baptized.  A concern came up and his baptism needed to be postponed.  We also passed him to the elders to continue to get ready for his baptism.  I'll keep you posted.   Eline is doing so fantastically well.  She accepted the word of wisdom no problem and continues to prepare for baptism on December 11th!  She is very prepared. Our other prepared favorite investigator, Jane Susan.  Pretty sure I already told you all about her.  Hopefully.  Her sister and niece recently got baptized in Gorelston (by Norwich) and told Jane about how they love the church, so now Jane wants to learn.  She was a referral from the Stratford ward.  She is so prepared it is so great teaching her.  Appointments last precisely 45...

July and warming up

July 19 HELLO!!!! Good to hear from all of you!  I know I say this every time. But time is going so fast. Next week will be transfers. I do not want to lose my companion. We need to stay together. You can pray for that. Just kidding. We will se what next week brings! P day will be on Tuesday again so emails will be late. This week was a good week!! I'm trying to remember everything that happened. It's all such a blur. Oh Nish!!! Our lovely investigator from India. She wow. She is all over the place. Every day (no every hour) Sister Guimaraes and I go back and forth of whether she I'll make her date for July 30th or not. We just don't know what to think. She has refused to give up coffee at all in the past. This week we committed her to no coffee and she did it! In fact in our lesson on Saturday she said she could give up coffee forever!! (Except for this coffee dessert but we will work it out). What a drastic change this was. All because she is praying and reading ev...
