Hola!

So it's already Pday again. Weird. It's been pretty funny lately - one of our Zone Leaders and I have been talking about how the days are starting to feel like minutes. We always say how it feels like it'll only be like 5 minutes from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep, and everything in between feels like a blur. Pretty crazy.

Ok so I don't have a whole lot to say seeing as how it was pday 5 days ago. Not a lot has really happened. We have been focusing more on finding cambodians to teach, and so far it's not going as well as we'd like it to. Although, we do have 3 or 4 potentials, and one of them seems very promising. It's pretty exciting to sit down with someone and just talk to them. I didn't think I'd be able to do that, but apparently I can. Pretty awesome, eh? The one who is very promising is named Veasna. We got a referral from our Zone Leaders for a super drunk cambodian that they talked to a few nights before. Well, we went to visit her, and ended up talking to Veasna instead. He took a Book of Mormon, and seemed like he wasn't super interested, but then out of nowhere he invited us in and gave us some water. We started talking and it was really cool. He is a very busy man, just like all the other cambodians (they work a ridiculous amount of hours every week) but he said that he would definitely read the Book of Mormon and he would come to church when he has time. That is usually never a good thing to hear, but in his case, he was being very sincere, and I believe that he will come eventually. We talked to him for a good 30 minutes before leaving. He told us that we could come back anytime we are in the area again to visit him. So we plan on being in the area a lot. haha. So he's the most promising, but there are a few others so things are going pretty well right now.

That is part of the good news for this week. The other part is that we had 4 people at church yesterday! It was awesome. They were like 10 minutes late, and the only seats available were in the front of the chapel, so we felt pretty cool walking in with a family of 4 to church. It was definitely a good feeling. I guess I should tell you how we met this family. We got a call from this girl in Utah a few days ago. She said that her aunt (Rose) lives in Malden, which is in our area, and that her daughter is sick. Rose knows about the church a little bit, and asked her niece (the girl in Utah) to find someone to give her daughter a blessing. So, somehow she was able to find us and we got in contact with Rose. Her daughter is in the hospital, and they don't allow visitors at all for some reason, so we got to go to Rose's house instead. We talked to her for a bit and prayed with her that everything would be alright. And then she said that she wants her daughters to be part of the church so she decided she'd bring them to church. And then she came. So that's that. haha. Cool story. They're from Haiti too, so they are really nice people. I like Haitians.

So yeah, that is about it this week. No update on Jessica. She is having some personal problems and isn't really progressing right now. So that stinks, but we hope she will still want to be baptized. I'll let you know when that happens. Other than that, I don't think there is much else to say. District Leadering is cool. My first district meeting is this week, so we'll see how that goes... hopefully good. haha.

I don't know if I've said this already, or if you've figured it out, but since I am still in lynn for another transfer, that means that in 10 days I will hit my year mark in-field/in one area! cool beans! I love this area!

Ok well Imma go now. hope you all have a wonderfantastaful week! Cool word, huh, I just made it up. ok. bye! Love you all!

Love,
Elder Hammer!!
