Muy Loco

Hey everyone! I cant believe its February already and that I've been out for 6 months! Time has been going by so fast. I'm now in the Idaho Falls Central Stake and its a lot different from Ririe. There are so many people compared to my last area, we don't have a car so we have walk everywhere. This week has also been super stressful because my companion doesn't really know the area so its hard to go places when we don't know where to go, but we are starting to learn the area things are going a lot better.
 Well, the fist two days of this past week, we spent them packing and saying our goodbyes to everyone. Elders Schaerr and Latu came up and spent Monday night with us to chill while they also helped us pack. We played basketball with all the youth Monday afternoon and then we went to the Coles to hang. We were all up super late that night trying to get everything in 2 suitcases. 
     When Wednesday came, we went to the transfer spot and I made my way to Idaho Falls. We had a transfer meeting with the IF zone and this zone is way better than our zone in Rigby. There are a lot of really good missionaries and everyone is ready to do the Lords work. On Wednesday night, we went to the IF Visitors Center and I got to do my first baptismal interview. I got to do the interviews for a family of four and they all got baptized on this last Saturday. 
     Friday, we met with one of our investigators and taught him the law of tithing and the low of chastity. He is getting baptized on February 20th and he couldn't be more ready. That afternoon we had another lesson with family of four who are all non-members at the Visitors Center. The lesson we had was super spiritual. That night we had permission to go back to Ririe and see of of our investigators we taught get baptized. It was such humbling experiencing to see how far Jay has come and now making the covenant to be baptized. 
     Sunday was a slow day the ward we went to was super small. We did get to speak during third hour of one of the wards about member-missionary work. For dinner we ate with a really cool young returned missionary couple. Oh I forgot to mention, we have the Spanish elders living in our apartment and they are super funny. They teach us Spanish here and there so its fun. 
     That is all for this week! Thank you so far all the love and support you give. 
Until next week! God is Good!
