Dear Family and Friends,

Things are going great in Bacon. It is a new transfer, my new companion is Sister Amato, from Wellington, New Zealand.  We are now both the Sister Training Leaders for Sorsogon Zone.   She is great.  It is exciting to get new eyes on an area.

We are doing great.  We are continuing to find and find.  So that was exciting.  We do have one Brother Freddie that we have been teaching on and off because a lot of times we don't have a sister present, but he came to church on Sunday so that is exciting.  We also have this really great investigator, Ann Rose, who was a referral from sister Carrido.  She told us this week about her experience with the book of Mormon and how she felt when she prayed. She was like it is probably feels great to go to church too, but didn't know if she was going to be able to make it.  But than we asked if we could pick her up for church and she completely changed.  She was happy to go to church with us.  It is just goes to show that it is really important to pick up investigators to come to church so that they don't feel shy.

So we are starting to harvest some of those seeds we planted the past two transfers.   As always it is an exciting to be a missionary at this time. I am learning so much.  Tomorrow we go to Legazbi for MLC so as always that is an exciting time to learn from President Guanzon.
