Transferred to P.Q. (5/3)

So the big news obviously from my email subject is that I got transferred... again haha. My new companion is Elder Searle (it sounds like pearl but with an "s"). He has been out for about 8 months and he is from American Fork Utah just like Elder Fraughton.

Another interesting thing about my new area is that we are double covering. Im covering the PQ 1st and PQ 3rd Ward. PQ is a pretty rich area so there isn't a ton of work so that's why we double cover.

Things in La Mesa 1st Ward were going great though. We had 7 investigators at church on Sunday and a lot of less actives came as well so Sunday was an amazing day.

We still have Connie one of our investigators that's 88 years old still on track to be baptized on May 28th.

We have another guy we are working with named James. He walked into the church last week and some members started talking to him and we came and talked to him and at first he wasn't to interested in talking with us but then he talked to a member of the bishopric and afterwards he was so ready to talk with us. He was at church on Sunday and he loved it and he told us that he wants to be baptized he just needs to know if this is true and our bishop asked him if he felt the spirit at church and he said that he did and our bishop asked if he thought that was his answer and you could just see it click in his head and then he just started to cry and he nodded his head and he said that he knew it was true.

We also had a family in the Ward call us tell us that they talked to this Hawaiian family about coming to church and they came on Sunday it was awesome.

I also went on exchanges with the Assistants. I went to there area with Elder McNaughtan. I came out with Elder McNaughtan so it was cool to serve with him for the day. The Assistants cover a singles ward near a couple of colleges so for most of the day we contacted people at SDSU and Grossmont college. SDSU is a pretty big party school so we didn't see much success there but it was still a good day. We had one of there recent converts come out with us for like 7 hours or so! It was great! He is pretty awesome and is really excited about the work.

Well I think that's it for this week!

Love you all,

Elder LaRochelle
