Hey family and friends,

The big news of the week, the move went really well! The complex we are now living in is very nice but our place is smaller than the last. We had to downsize a lot but that is not a bad thing. I will make sure to take pictures and send them to you. The move did take TONS of time though which was hard on the area a bit. We still had a good week even though we were not out and about as much. But overall, our area is doing well and I think we are on an upward climb here. This past week, I went on exchanges with a new missionary who is from Chesapeake, Va. He is doing a mini mission to see how the mission works and to have a better feel for it. It was around 8:30 and we decided to go knock a few doors and after I knocked one, I told him it was his turn. He looked at me and I thought he was going to faint, but I talked him into trying. He knocked once and then twice and nobody answered. We started going to the next home when I asked if he would like to practice. He said, "yes" and right as we started practicing, a lady at the last door opened and invited us to come in. We went in and met Terry and taught her about the Book of Mormon and she was just so excited! After the lesson, it was fun to talk up this Elder and show that his first door he knocked became a new investigator! It was a super happy and spiritual moment for me.

For some exciting news, this week should be a busy one as well. Tonight, our mission is doing a "Finding Fest". Our goal for the whole mission is to find 200 New Investigators in the span of 3 hours! I think it is very possible and we are hoping that we can reach the goal. Also, on Tuesday we are going on Exchanges with the AP's and that is always really fun because you learn a lot from those guys and they love to get out and work which gets me pumped up! On Wednesday, we have interviews with President Riggs and we also interview every member of the zone so that will be an all day thing. I am excited to see how that works on the other side of things. We have a full week but I am super excited to see tons of miracles!

How is work going by the way? I have not heard about that in a while and I am sure there are some neat changes recently. I have been thinking a lot about lately what I am going to do when I get home and for the rest of my life.  Not to many ideas are flowing but I still have some time to think about that.

Dove hunting huh? How did that go? Brooks looked pretty goofy with all his Camo on! I hope that he had fun doing that.

Have a great week! Miss you tons!

Love,
Elder Westover
