Dear family,

SO, I am in the Vista 3rd ward still. Me and my companion, Elder Campbell are staying together still, which is nuts, because he has been here since his mission started and it has been 6 months already. Our ward is getting split with Elders on the other side of the 78. Only one person is getting transferred out of the district, one sister, sister lemon. so we will have a new sister plus 2 new elders.

Our district has been doing bad at numbers these last few weeks. Elder Campbell and I have been doing great with contacts but our baptismal dates have fallen through. But our contacts have been more then the rest of the districts combined, which is not saying how great we are doing, but how poorly everyone else is doing, everyone is in a big funk right now, but from what they say i think everyone wants to do something about it.

We had an ok week. Elder Campbell was 99% sure that he was getting transferred, so it he kind of gave up on being my friend haha. It is funny when that happens, most missionaries can put up with whatever their companions throw at them, but once they think they are getting transferred they stop trying haha. but it's ok, I still love him, we are good friends. But whenever you put two guys together for 24/7 they will always have something that bugs each other.

Not much happened this week... haha sorry.

Here are some pics
