new companion, now in dumfries

Dear Family & Friends

Things are going well here in Dumfries. Not that we've taught an amazing number of lessons this week, or any such thing, but rather that we've finally got some people to teach. The lead people we're teaching right now are Gavin McDonald, Meghan O-Donnel, Her Mother, Andrew, Michael, Liam, Jack Simons, Charmaine, Ricky, and Carol.
We had 5 scheduled for baptism but those dates fell through as they missed church. But it's okay, because we'll get them right back on track, and hopefully find those who are truly interested.

This week has been a bit hectic with Elder Parker leaving. We ended up doing a lot of "saying goodbye's" and packing, rather than much real teaching. But Elder Stoica and I are settled in great and ready to go. Oh right! My new companion/trainee is Elder Stoica, from Romania! It's actually funny because I made a joke to member about getting a Romanian Trainee and Vuala!

We get along great and work well together too. I am repeatedly impressed with his ability to teach. Anyway, that's all for now. Love you ever so much!
