It's pretty cold here. It's usually in the teen's or 20's. And I got transferred to a new area, but in the same zone. And I'm still without a car. It's AWESOME... Anyway quick story. One of the missionaries asked how old Clark was and I told him without thinking, "he has 6 months." I thought that's how you say it. But it's "he is 6 months old." It's because in Spanish you say "tiene 6 meses" (he has 6 months) I'm turning MEXICAN! But, the baptism went through. It was good I'll send some pictures of it. But we went to his house after the baptism and we were talking. And he asked how he could become an Elder. I explained there's a difference between the office of an Elder and a missionary Elder. And I suggested a mission. And I was so excited when he said he was thinking about serving a mission. I don't think I could of had any more joy. Actually I did when I went to say goodbye to some of my recent converts. I went to one of their houses and I told her that I don't know when I return but when I come back I want to see her active and going to church. (her husband doesn't want anything to do with missionaries, and her kids aren't interested. But she was promised her family would accept the gospel). And after I told her that she said "I'm going to be waiting." She's so solid. Oh and another one of the converts hasn't come for like 2 weeks and the same one who said she was going to be waiting asked us for her number so she could call her and see how she's doing. Man, she's going to be Relief Society President some day. I've had some other pretty good experiences lately, but there's too much to write. So we'll just have to go through the Journal when I get back to tell the stories. Because I can't really think of all of them right now. Anyways, My new companion is from Mexico and he is like 28 years old. I don't know why I keep getting all the old people for companions, but it's all good. A lot of people are trying to give me advice how to help get through the transfer, so we'll see how it goes. The new area is good though, We have 5 baptisms coming up this weekend, so we'll see how that goes. Well I gotta go.
