A trainer

Hey everybody!
Well I found out on saturday that I am going to be training a brand new missionary!! I'm gonna be a dad haha. Im a little nervous but more excited about it. Elder Prows and I will be going to Louisville tomorrow to go to the transfer meeting and there I will meet my son! It gonna be awesome!
This week was pretty great. Did a lot of walking because we were low on miles for our car haha. We are given only 1050 miles to use per month. That only gives us 34 miles per day, which is not very much. Our area is big, almost half the ward. And out here wards boundaries are huge.
We have a new investigator name Michelle, she is great. Shes a refferal from some other Elders in  another ward. A member in that ward gave her a Book of Mormon and shes been reading it. She lives out in backhills of our area, but her house is pretty nice. We helped her move some stuff out of her house but we couldnt set up a time to come back and visit. She didn't want to at that time. But a few days later we were walking down the street in New Albany and she was driving and she saw us and pulled over and she asked if we could have a prayer with her, so we did. And she said we could come over on saturday and see her. So we saw her, taught her the restoration and she came to church yesterday! It was great! She texted us after and said the message was good at church but she wasn't used to how quiet it was. Guess we will just have to work on that with her! So Please pray that she will continue to progress!
We also were able to find 5 other new investigators this week. One is a Pastor at a Pentacostal church I think. He's crazy haha but funny. He started talking in "tounges" in our lesson, haha it was just a bunch of mumbling. Also found a nice old lady and her daughter that lives with her. They are really nice and super funny. When we went back for our follow up appointment she said that she agreed to have us back because we were groomed so nice and we just looked really healthy and she wanted to know why, it was great. Looking forward to bringing the new missionary to visit them.
The T's, the huge family we had at church last week, didn't come this week... Richard, the father, is a bumb and is going to the bar and is abusive to his wife. It terrible. We are trying to help Crystal figure out where to go with the kids. So please pray for them.
Well thats about it for this week! Im looking forward to meeting my missionary son! I miss you all so much and I love ya too!
