This week was very different. We had exchanges and this drunk guy tried to argue with us about the story of Adam and Eve.  I got to say goodbye to my companion at the bus station as he returns home on Wednesday. Now I get to stay with the Zone Leaders, for the next 4 days, in a house with 5 missionaries and 1 bathroom.  Transfers are a little different with our new mission president and I won't know what's going to happen until early tomorrow morning. We also got to go to a party where there was lots of food and had a table to share Book of Mormons and other pamphlets about the church.  Always remember that God loves you and He is there to help you through all of your difficulties. All you have to do is get on your knees and pray to Him and ask for help.  I love you guys! Hope you're all doing fantastic!

The next thing we knew we were driving down a dirt road with a roaring fire on one side. Luckily the bus didn't catch on fire but it definitely warmed it up.  Meeting our new president was pretty cool. He is very different than President Hancock but I'm sure it'll be good for our mission and I will learn a lot from him. This week we marked a few baptism dates and all of them have a problem with cigarettes so if you guys could pray to help them overcome this addiction I would be very grateful.  This week I was listening to the book "Saints" and I had some time to reflect on all of the sacrifices that early Saints made. The faith they had is truly incredible and inspiring. In some cases parts of their families had been killed...
