First week in New Albany

Hello everyone!

Well I am now in New Albany Indiana. We are right across the river from Louisville. Its awesome! I am in a car area and its pretty big haha. The town here is awesome. I like it a lot better than evansville. My companion is Elder Prows, hes been out like 3 months. Our apartment is a lot bigger so that is nice. And the church is like a 5 min walk from our place.

The ward here is amazing! Our ward mission leader is awesome and they all help us out so much. We have a ward missionary who is assigned to find us dinners for the week! Its so nice to have that. She calls around and gets us dinners with members. The ward here is so focused on missionary work and retaining members. 

The investigators we have now are pretty good. We have a family of 8 kids that we are teaching, but its gonna take some time with them. The parents arent married and the Dad is kinda wild and drinks alot but he reads the BoM a lot too. We could get 7 Baptisms with this family, it would be a miracle. We also need to do a lot of finding this coming week. Most of the investigators are good but they aren't too serious right now.

Oh so yeah, having a car is the bomb. We still ride bikes but having a car to drive to far away appointments is amazing. We have a Chevy Malibu. Its pretty nice, I like it. Its almost to 50,000 miles so they are going to get a new car soon. saweet. Before I got here though, the previous Elder merged into another car and dented up the car kinda bad. So the church had to spend $2500 to fix it! That sucks, but now it has a new paint job on the whole side.

Well not much else to say right now haha.

Probably gonna go to the Slugger museum in the coming weeks so that will be awesome!

Love you all so much!
