Opening an Area

No new investigators, we have basically been having to "open" the area, we basically threw out our area book because all of the people, notes, and records are really, really, really, REALLY BAD. We have started out "new" in our area, We have been doing more contacting, I had to give a talk in sacrament meeting on the restoration.  We have been going through the area book and pulled out everyone that had almost okay notes and are starting to visit/find them, Pencil lead for marking scriptures, ties yes, and chocolate bars, and other things.

Elder Conder has not been able to teach any investigators, because we don't have any right now, so we have been teaching less actives. Training is difficult and it is really frustrating when they still have the mentality that "I worry about me and you worry about you" but we have slowly been getting that out of his system. We have been keeping our apartment clean, I have officially, unofficially taken the position of Desert Office Elder (I am not a real office elder) if there is an apartment that needs to be cleaned then the housing inspectors call us up to come help clean apartments.  I haven't really been writing in my journal, it is like 11 by the time I finish planning and past bed time, and we have to be up at 6. It is very cold it has been getting down to high 20's but it climbs back up to the 50's. And yes there is a surprising lack of Green in the mission, I have only seen green on the mission for 3 days out of my entire mission thus far.

Love you mom
