(he left at like 6:45 that morning)
It rained most of the week and Elder Stafford's umbrella was a sad embarrassment
But the rain didn't mess with us too much thankfully. My last transfer Elder Dameus and I got maybe 3 referrals in 6 weeks. In this first week together we have received 8! So we've been pretty busy. Some people are interested, some just wanted a Bible, others wont even respond to us. But I'm very grateful for all the work we have to do. We have contacted 5/8 so far.
We also picked up two potentials ourselves. Mark is one, he was singing Bruno Mars' "Nothing on you" as we were walking down the street. Then he changed the phrase beautiful girls to Latter-days saints which got our attention. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he has actually been texting us back. Pretty crazy.
The other good story was when we were giving a referral her Bible and the care giver was the one to open the door and give it to her. And it turned out the Nurse was a lot more interested with the Book of Mormon then the other lady. So we are going to meet with her this Saturday hopefully.
Sunday was the best day, Hank, Henok, and Edward all came to church. It was a crazy Sunday for me trying to balance my time with all three but it worked out great. Hank had a great experience. Henok had a big question answered with all those who died during the great apostasy, thanks to the Spirit World. Edward after church, got the Aaronic Priesthood. It was a very good moment for him. And Sunday night I was able to Skype my family, which was fantastic. Life is pretty great. I'm enjoying have good work to do for my last few months on the mission.

Ted the hot dog stand man gave us free hot dogs, all because I stopped and looked at the prices. Good guy.
