My new companion is Elder James Reed. He is the oldest of 7, and is from Sanford, Colorado, near the Great Sand Dunes National Park. He loves farming, horses and cows.
This week has been great, just working on showing Elder Reed around the area, introduce him to everyone and showing him the ropes. We have been able to serve some nonmembers and we have begun teaching a couple new people. Elder Reed has been great! He's just picking everything up.
This week has been as busy as ever. We have been working hard to get down where everyone lives and in which apartment along with coordinate with all the leadership. Meeting new missionaries has been good too. We have someone in our district from McMinnville.
I have been able to do a lot of family history research, which has been great. I have read some amazing stories about our ancestors like those who were apostles, saving the prophet and hiding Joseph Smith.
