Second area!

My new address is
6298 Lockhill Rd. #803
San Antonio Texas 78240

I have arrived in my second area (Parkwood which is west of San Antonio) with my third companion (Elder Carter). We got doubled in and the last elders left us with hardly any information on the area and
the apartment was very dirty. I have been trying to clean up but haven't had a lot of time to do so because we been busy trying to figure out what is going on in this area. Also we have the zone
leaders living in our apartment and some other elders that just live two apartments down. It's fun being with other Elders and P days will be funnier now because I will be able to play basketball and hopefully soccer even though non of them like soccer that much. This is my first companion that was called English so I don't have my hour of Spanish study so hopefully I don't forget all that I learned.

My area is very different from Bastrop and a lot smaller. We are on bikes and there are neighborhoods and no farm land. I will miss Bastrop and the Ward but I am excited to work in the Parkwood Ward.
For transfers we didn't get to our apartment until 8:30 pm and then went to dinner with a family from Peru who fed us so much food. Great first dinner in the area. They also signed up for dinner on Christmas Eve which will be great if i stay in this area.

We had 8 investigators at church the last two weeks so it was hard to leave Bastrop because we were getting close to some baptisms and then we come here and had no investigators at church. Hopefully that will change in the upcoming weeks.

I haven't heard a lot about the new change on baptizing children of same sex couples. Members or investigators haven't mentioned it that much lately. I think that it is a great idea because our gospel is centered on families and it would cause contention and the "spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil".

"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow."
