A New state of Being!

New Companion: Sister Webb, she is from Hyrum, UT and just left Utah State! We just met on Thursday so we don't know each other super well yet. But so far so good. We are getting along very well.

New Apartment: is very nice, but every morning at about 5 AM a flock of crows flies in and sits in the trees and crows for about 2 hours. When I say flock I mean hundreds and hundreds of crows- maybe even thousands! Every time I wake up I feel like I am living the movie "The Birds"

New Car: Yes, NEW car. I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to give us the new car. I'm scared to death every time I drive it- hopefully it means I will be more careful? When we pulled out of the parking lot on Thursday it had 9 miles on it! Toyota Corolla '11 Woot!

New Branch: is super small. We cover 2 stakes, but there are only about 100 people who come to church every week. We combine some of our classes with the Sunnyvale ward just so that there is a little bit more help and support. This is going to be a very different experience from Redwood City... Nonetheless, we are excited. We have been received very well by the members, and I think we will get lots of support.

New Investigators: ...we can't find them? The Elders who were here left us with 11 investigators, 3 who supposedly are getting baptized in the next 2 months, but we can't get a hold of any of them. hmmm... Much work to do.

New Maps & a New Area = a New state of being: LOST all the time!!!!!


It has been quite a week, but to be honest I have never felt so much excitement about anywhere else I have served. I just see a lot of potential and all the training we have been doing in the missionary We are really motivated to get things going here. It has been exhausting. I've never been more tired, but I have never been more determined! Wish us luck!
