Hope everyone is doing good! I continue to pray for you all:) This week my prayer has been answered when it came to finding people to teach!! As Jamie got baptized last week, he's no longer our biggest focus, so now we can focus on finding and teaching new people and this week we literally have crazy teaching opportunities!! I will give a lil overview of our friends that we found this week and then I'll do lil day by day action:) Hector, (media referral) has an 8-year-old daughter He is trying to get back in the flow of things when it comes to going to church, they are not members but have attended some church services before, he also has a coworker who is looking to sit in on the conversations when we start teaching him! We don't have a lesson set up with him yet but he said if he doesn't come this Sunday then he will the next! Hector does landscaping and seems like he's in his 30s. If he does come to church we will set up a lesson for the following week. ●Tee, is

This week flew by so quick it wasn't even funny  Monday  We balled up at the church for basically the whole day but around 3 pm we went over to the practice fields at the university and played a lil Frisby. After P day was over we had District Council which was kind of a drag because we were all super tired from being in the sun or playing sports all day, so that was an interesting meeting but it was fun being with his zone the whole day! After the District Council then we started the district leader Exchange!! Tuesday  We had our district leader exchange, so Elder Lowery (my comp) went with our district leader Elder Miller out to his area in Veneta. And me and Elder Weber ran it up here in Eugene 1st, had such a solid busy day and we first went to this lady's house, her name is Tamara and she sent us a referral (responded to an ad online) a on Sunday so we texted and called no answer so that morning we went to go visit her.
