Things here have been pretty normal.  We are doing a lot better with finding more and more people to teach.  A lot of people have already had missionaries come by but they say that there is something different about the way that we do stuff.  (Not really, we just do it the way that feels the most comfortable.  Maybe it's cuz we're both black.  haha!)  Nah, but I have been having a good time thus far.

Well we have been able to really keep up this week.  Not having a bicycle has put a damper on our traveling but none the less we have been able to have some really good lessons.  On Saturday we took a member with us to see some of our newer investigators.  She was a very big help.  Elder Ambrose and I have been really focusing on teaching to the needs of our investigators.  It has really been working.  We only use the scriptures if we haven't memorized the passages that we use.  Thank goodness for studies!

 This week was a good one.  Nothing too out of the ordinary.  Had some visitors from the north come down to vacation and we had a wonderful testimony meeting.

Elder Ambrose is doing great.  As we have focused on the needs of our investigators, our studies of the doctrines have become very essential.  We are practicing the way to make it clear and simple in explanation. We have been doing well with what we have done so far.  Small bursts of powerful testimony with an inspired question really gets the investigator active and talking.  We hope to have some really good success in these next few weeks.

Thank you for all that you do.  Hope you have had an amazing year thus far!

Elder N. Christensen

P.S.  Having bikes makes us really tired.  Caught Elder Ambrose in a funny position while sleeping.  :)  And the morning here... so bright!
