A Whole lot of Nothing

> This week was so incredibly slow. Elder Modesto was sick from Tuesday to Thursday so we did nothing those days. On Friday I taught the lesson and I did it on faith. I used Alma 32: 28-30ish. I Drew a graph, that I wish I took a picture of, that went right along with the graph. Then I read Hebrews 11:3 and proclaimed blessing that you get from being faithful and striving to build your faith upon the Savior. I think it went pretty well!
>
> Today we finally have a lesson with our new convert. He was invited to Bishops house for dinner then afterwards we're gonna teach the new member lessons. This has taken so long to try to set up. Because he's in the ROTC program at his school, he's like always super busy. On the weekdays he has school and never get home in time for us to go over there, then on the weekends he's at ROTC for the majority of the day, but finally we caught him when he doesn't have anything after school or any assignment he has to do! I'm super excited for tonight.

> Other than that there's really nothing else. I hope y'all have a super good week! Stay Fresh!

First Week in Oakwood

>
> Howdy from Oakwood! I got transferred last week from Fountain to Oakwood. I'M FINALLY IN A NEW AREA!!!!
>
> I guess my letter from last week didn't send so last week was kinda bitter sweet. I was super excited to go to a new area but at the same time Fountain is all I know. The members were super cool and I knew all of them personally. Yesterday we had church and I knew like nobody except 2 families. It comes with the struggle flushing into a new area. That's right I flushed AGAIN! My whole mission I've flushed into the area. It's defiantly fun but hard if you didn't inherit good area notes. Luckily for us the sisters left fantastic notes for us, so we're chilling!

> My new companion is Elder Modesto. He's from Fresno California, and has been out almost 19 months. He's a dope missionary and a very hard worker. We have become really good friends in less than a week.

> I don't really have much else to say. I hope y'all have a fantastic week.

> Sorry no pictures this week. I got y'all next week
