Happy New Year!

Hey!
So I don't have a lot of time to write today... I got a new comp this morning and guess what?? He’s going to die here too!!! Ugh.. haha. His name is Elder Cifuentes and super cool. I knew of him a bit before mostly because he’s pretty famous in the mission for being left in the same are for 9 months.. haha. So far he’s really cool. I was honestly ready to get a new comp.. Elder Sanchez was cool and all but he was super frito when he left and we did like no work this week. Not to mention we fought a bit more. All in all, that’s how the mission is!

So they also took out the 4 missionaries from the area and it’s only me and my comp. Which is interesting because i don’t know half my area... haha. They joined the areas so i hardly know the investigators that we have there and not really the area like at all. We had a really good meeting to plan in the ward though and should really be able to expect the help of the ward to meet the high goals that we had. 8 baptisms and 8 less actives activated every month!! I’m glad we aren’t the only ones that have to do all the work to reach these goals.

 Besides all that i had a good new years! We had to be in the house at 9 again but besides that it was good. TONS of members have fed us this last week and its been really nice. The only problem is eating a little at each house and not a ton everytime or you die.. Luckily i dont think our members get offended that easily. I’m probably going to be here in this ward for like 3 more months if nothing crazy happens so that’s at least 2 more changes.


 This morning i also saw Elder Holmstead my trainer! I guess they’re taking both the elders out of hospital and whitewashing it. He’s doing good and it was cool to talk to him. Sorry if my English is terrible I’ve been living with pure Spanish speakers for like almost 2 months.. English is harder than spanish right now haha. Well I love you all and i gotta go!! Thanks for all the support and start out the year good! 
Love Elder Marrott
