greenie breaking, 12 new investigators, and a whole lotta walking

hey all,

  this week has been quite the amazing week (even if most of it was tracting...) we had a whole bunch of neat experiences and put a few miles on our shoes.

  A few things about our area.  It is centered around Galax Virginia (pronounced Gae-lax) and covers a fair bit of land.  it is a more rural area and we count it as basically a walking area as our miles only go so far...  it doesn't help that they left us with about 400-ish miles and we are not even half way through the month.  

my new comp is Elder larson.  he has been out four months and it is an interesting relationship.  he has just finished training and is kind of a pharisee when it comes to the rules.  he is a nice guy however and is easy to get along with.  

and now for the other part of the title 12 NEW INVESTIGATORS! this week we did do a lot of walking and we saw miracles from it as we picked up 3 families and a couple of single individuals  (one family speaks Spanish though so it is kind of hard for me)  Anyway as we were tracting the other day we knocked on a door and a man answered and asked us how we were and what we wanted.  after stumbling through a door approach I asked of it was something he and his family would be interested in and he nodded and asked us to come in where we met his wife Kirsten (or something to that effect) and her dad Donald (called duggie, or duckie I can't remember exactly) and as we talked with Andrew and his family they seemed interested and we shared a thirty minute lesson with them.  a day later we were looking for a less active member and had the general area of her residence and felt prompted to stop and ask for directions at a house.  (keep in mind that it was dumping buckets on us at the time.) and a nice mexican family answered the door.  Pres. Nielson, the member who was with us spoke to them in spanish and quickly got us directions, though at that point it had started to rain fairly hard so they invited us in,  as we talked they invited us to share our message and we did, opening with a word of prayer.  Pres. Nielson served as our translator and we had a great lesson.

see y'all next week
