Missionary exchanges and "3's Company"

This week went really well and pretty dang fast! We met with Ricky Buchunam one of our Ysa investigators and we taught him some of the commandments. We also committed him to baptism and he said that he still wants to become a member of the church! On Tuesday we had 2 lessons at the same time so the Irving Elders (Hoskins & Saenger) came down to help us out with them. Elder Hoskins came with me and our ward mission leader drove us to Lancaster to teach a new investigator. Her name is Linh Nguyen it is pronounced (lynn winn). She is engaged to a inactive member in the ward and his mother is active and Linh told her that she was looking to become a member of the church. So we taught the first lesson and had a really good visit with Linh. She told us that she believes she has already received her answer before she met with us. So i invited her to be baptized and we set a date with herfor November 24th.

On Wednesday we drove to Irving to help them with their area since they helped us. Elder Hoskins and I went to help do service for his uncle who actually lives in his ward that he serves in. how funny is that? Later that night we had another lesson with Lacy Long which was super good! She is so solid and she is receiving so much fellowship from the ward which is really good. Every investigator needs that! On Thursday Elder Hoskins and I decided to do another exchange. We have probably done like 4 together this transfer.  We went to visit this part member family the Carters that night. Elder Hoskins actually used to teach them 2 years ago when he was a greenie missionary!

On Friday we decided that we would drive to the far part of our area and try and visit some of the less active members that live out there. We were able to visit a few of them which was good. We did have a great lesson with our investigator family that night. We taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ and they loved it! The kids listen so well. Saturday we drove down to Waxahachie with a member.. Jeremy Sappington. He took us to this place called Catifish Plantation and ate some good fried catfish. The restaurant is this old run down house that was turned into a restaurant and it is supposively haunted. Nothing crazy happened though. Church on Sunday was great and we also got transfer calls this week and i am no longer covering the extra area that i have been covering but me and my companion are getting a third companion named Elder Kidd. So we will be in a Trio Companionship for who knows how long! This should be fun! (SARCASM)
