okay remember last week when I told you to write me a letter and send it to the mission office?
and remember how you were going to write me a letter and send it to me this week?
yea me too!!!
BUT WAIT!!
plot twist.
wait just one more week......
because big news!
We are moving to St. Francisville on Saturday!
St f'ville is a beautiful town in our area up by the Mississippi border and mississippi river. and it actually has neighborhoods and apartment complexes and a small grocery store and its BEAUTIFUL! its where lots of the plantations are.
Pros: its an actual city! with lots of people and service opportunities and places to go!
Cons:...... its 17 miles away from Slaughter and 22 miles away from Zachary. aka far away from our church building and only current investigator and far away from other missionaries and the rest of our area!
but its all good! we'll make it work! :)
faith in february brings miracles in march!
so about these mission changes.
mission schedge changes:
the differences:
1. we plan in the morning! we used to plan at night.
2. we can move comp study to wherever we want and its only has to 30 minutes
3. lunch is 30 minutes
4. we are encouraged to go to bed an hour earlier! but we both of us have to go to bed at the same time
others:
5. we get 2 extra hours for p day woohoo! pday is from 8am-6pm
6. the numbers that we report went from 10 numbers down to 4.
now we only report the number of baptisms and confirmations, investigators on baptism date, at sacrament meeting, and new investigators.
It is really cool about the key indicators because instead of going and seeing some people that you know will let you in and you can get a lesson with just to make your numbers higher... you are actually pushed to go see the people that really matter, to make the lessons count so you can get people motivated to come to sacrament meeting or accept the invitation to be baptized. Its keeping the numbers as a motivator but its moving the numbers to prove that you are doing actual missionary work aka moving the work forward in this area.

| its so warm here yall. its like fake summer |
and we have seen alot of miracles in our mission already! our mission president, PHansen told us this week in our weekly email that our mission had an 80% increase in new investigators! that means 2.5 investigators per missionary! and that means missionaries are going out finding more and getting people to be interested about the gospel! woohoo!! that means we are doing real work.
And thats what we did this week too!
We were able to find 3 new investigators this week that have some potential. So we are excited to meet up with them and we have faith that this move to St f'ville is inspired. :)
so lots of changes!
its just been an adjustment because I have been on such a routine that now its just remembering the changes and how to implement them into our new lives!
so whoop-dee-doo the gospel is trueee!!
anyyyyyywaaaayyyyssss
