Relate, to form relationships

 I must say, this transfer is flying by!! It is already week 3 and I am trying to solidify a consistent schedule so everything is going pretty good all in all! We may have to be quarantined for the next week or so depending on the results of another Elder soooo... we'll see what happens. We got sent a bunk bed because we asked for one 2 weeks ago and we decided we didn't want it and the Asistants wouldn't take it back so we simply made a double decker couch hahaha (pictures below). Don't worry we were 84.6% safe. 


Our investigators are awesome!! We had some pretty amazing experiences finding new people and hearing some of the stories of our progressing Investigators. Somehow we continue to find new people so I am still working on an organizational tactic so if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!! We are attempting to intermix Spanish and English areas so that we can find more Spanish speakers in English areas so hopefully things work out and we can continue to find!! I also got invited to a wedding for the investigator family that I had on date for baptism in my last transfer this week!!! Super excited to go!

We also had zone conference this week!! The assistants told us to all prepare a 5 minute talk and they would randomly select a few to share. I was not one of the few chosen but our talks were supposed to be centered around how we can teach more like Christ. The saying I used in my talk and this email is Relate To Form Relationships. Jesus talked in parables a lot which allowed the people to relate to what he was saying. If we as missionaries to do our best to relate to the circumstances of those we are teaching, they will be more receptive to the message we are sharing. This can also apply outside of the missionary life. If we can all do a little more to understand the perspectives of others and Relate To Form Relationships, then I promise we will find success in our conversations!

PICTURES!!
Unfortunately there are only a few but here are the promised couch pics haha
