Everyone,
MAN I AM LOVING IT HERE! Elder Richards and I are pumped up and had a week of miracles. I really feel it's because we are a very unified companionship. First, we are unified in our quest for obedience and desires to work hard.
Second, we are unified in friendship with one another. It all started during our second night together when Elder Richards realized that he couldn't find his GPS anywhere. It was in a plastic bag, and and we threw out the trash earlier that day. We finally decided that it was in the dumpster with all of our other Wal-Mart trash bags. We knew what we had to do. We had to go outside and dig through the dumpster together. We got there, and man the dumpster was full and STINKY! We started to dig and we couldn't find that GPS anywhere. Then we decided to pray, and before we knew it we found one of our Wal-Mart trash bags and we kept digging and found the bag with the GPS inside! We went back to the apartment, and just started to laugh, and we decided if you can dig through a dumpster together you instantly become a united companionship.

But that was just the start. I love our companionship studies together. We just talk and talk about the gospel and before you know it, BOOM! The Spirit is in the home and ends up sticking with us throughout the day. It's just awesome. You really can feel just a peace, and I guess the way to explain it would be as having a power with you. Ideas come into our minds of whom we need to go visit and what they need to hear. Just yesterday it was 8:00pm, and the day was done. We were done with our OYMs, and past our goals on sit-downs, and we didn't know what to do. We decided to head over to a member's home to visit their family, and boom we had the impression that we needed to turn around and visit Hermano Benitez, and so we did. We got to his house, and his son's friend was over (he came to church earlier that day), and we taught a lesson and now he has a baptismal date. I have had some good companionships, but this one is awesome! We are loving it and see miracles everyday.
The zone is doing well, and we continue to have momentum. I am just concerned that we are still having these pockets of baptisms. We should have three again in our area this month, Houston 4 South should have five more this month, and Houston 1 NE will probably have another baptism this month. These are the same companionship's that baptized last month and we need to figure out a way to help every companionship baptize during the month so there will be more balance in the zone. OYM's are coming back up as well as the sit-down lessons. We are doing great with our goals this month, and it's a great time for the Houston West Zone.
