I am in a new area with new companions! I am with Hermana H--- and Hermana D-------! I've heard they put the best missionaries in trios because that just feels like my fate. Trios are pretty awesome. They are definitely more fun, and we are able to go out with any member and get rides from anyone. This week has definitely been a new experience for me. We are not that far from Nashville, but the Hispanic ratio has significantly dropped. It is really pretty here. It has so many spread out houses and a lot more trees! I really like it here. We have such a supportive branch (not many people about 40 including kids), but we receive so much support. I have had dinner with a different member everyday since I got here, and that is not out of the ordinary. So I am super excited about that.
We had a investigator come to church yesterday! Her name is R----, and she has an adorable son named F-----. She has been investigating the church for awhile, and we met with her this week and invited her to set a baptism date because she wasn't progressing. After much prodding, she told us her goal for baptism is the 27th of October. That's not acceptable! So we will work on it.
I'm still working on getting the lay of the land. We found some awesome potential investigators this week. Funny story -- we met one man and he said to come back the next day. We went back the next day and only his roommate was home. We invited him to listen to us and he said, "Okay, but I want to see if my roommates car is home." He walked around the corner and never came back... He drove away. Ha ha! Some people are too nice to say no.
We have some members in our branch who are just out for summer sales. They help us a lot. In the fall, it is going to be different, but we are so excited to have them now.
I am super excited to be here and watch Buena Vista flourish!
Have a great week!
Hermana Nielson
