Times are a Changin'

How goes it friends and family? On Wednesday I finally got Elder Huntsman as my companion. He's really nice. He's from Austin Texas, and a lot of people say that he doesn't have an accent, but I notice it. The last week was a little hard with not being in my area for the first two days, but we were still able to get a lot done. We started teaching a new investigator on Saturday. Apparently her cousin from Utah referred her, because she's been going through a rough patch in life and is looking to be more happy, so we have some ideas to help with that. We talked a lot about how the gospel blesses us and how she will be happier through becoming closer to her Heavenly Father. She seemed to take it in pretty well, and we set up a return appointment. We got called on Sunday to see if we could do some service by keeping score of the USA wrestling match. We spent all Saturday morning at the school gym and watched kids twelve and under grapple with each other. The funniest to watch was the kids six and under. They would flop around while their coaches would be yelling at them. I didn't expect to see so much crying at a wrestling meet, but it was there in its bounty. We did a lot of walking this week. Friday night we had three less actives that said that they'd call us when they got home, and with no one else to visit at eight at night we walked in circles hoping to catch one of them. Sunday was the seminary program. It was a lot like the primary program, but not as cute, and it didn't have nearly as large of a topic range. We've been trying to work with our wards more, and to coordinate better, but it is really hard with four wards. The work continues to move forward. No more word on the visa, but I'm not worried about it.
Love,
Elder David Short
