Hey mom, 

I sure did get all moved and everything. All adjusted and what not. The apartment is pretty old so it was pretty dirty and the walls were practically black in some spots so we had to take care of those. Still not sparkling but we only had knock of magic erasers so they didn't work as well as the real deal haha. This ward is pretty good though. They were kind of surprised to see us there because they have been told that they will be getting sisters. which they will, just later down the road when housing is available for them. I hope it takes awhile though because a jump from two to six missionaries is pretty crazy and doing it this fast can be overwhelming also. I'm sure it will be good though. Bishop Talbot is on board with committing members to get us referrals and invite their friends to meet with us. If that works like it should than we should be very busy.

I will definitely find something out when it comes to Mothers day. I'm still working on meeting people haha. So, hopefully I know some by then.

Isn't it in the contract that you will have the money for this land by a certain time? I swear they have been saying they were going to buy the land for the last two years and still nothing. what a joke.  

As for me, things are going fairly well. We inherited a couple of investigators so that's cool. Right now we are really trying to train our missionaries. especially our District leaders. There is one in particular who really just can't do it. For example we have them fill out the information for the ward mission process on excel, that's pretty easy to do right? then we have them attach it to an e-mail and send it to us so we can report on it. He can't even attach it. wow. I thought the youngins were suppose to be more with technology... it's kind of frustrating when you teach people and walk them through things and they still can't figure it out. We are trying to have a meeting where we will be able to sit down with them for a good amount of time and go through things so they can fulfill and magnify their calling so we can be able to help this zone be productive and unified in purpose. I think that's what happens when people get sent out here. The rumor and word on the street is that if you get sent out to Findlay, or sometimes Toledo you are a bad missionary and the area's out there are really bad and they suck... yada yada yada. it's what you make it. You're area will be as good as your attitude and commitment to work. So, we just have to find some way to inspire them and help them do better so they will be able to gather those who are needed within Christ's church at this time. I'm excited to be here in Lima with a brand-new Bishop that isn't in the Traditions of his fathers and is willing to do anything and everything to change and to help the ward grow and become active. It's going to be fun and an adventure just like normal.

Love ya!
