Nuevos Nuevos

Hola hola,

Its been a good week here in Las Cabras. I am here with my new companion Elder Shumway. He has 1 year in the mission (just a bit more than me), and is from Michigan (relatively close to Detroit). Hes a good guy and we have had a lot of success this week.

Particularly we have had success in finding new investigators. Last transfer we spent a lot of time contacting in Las Cabras. Contacting is a good way to find people, but if that is all we do, it isnt too effective. I decided that this week I wanted to look for old investigators in our area book (mostly because I was tired of contacting...). So we have been looking for old investigators, contacting, and asking everyone for referrals, and we have found a lot of success. This week we taught 9 new investigators, which is really great. Some of them didnt seem extremely interested, but some of them have a lot of potential.

On Tuesday we found Rodrigo and Katy and their daughter Francisca. Actually we found Katy contacting and she told us we could come in immediately. But her husband wasnt home yet, so we wrote down her info and said we would come by later that night. Turns out they used to live in San Clemente (my first sector, and the best city in Chile), and are relatives of members in Talca. So they have heard a lot from the missionaries. We taught them twice so far and are going back tonight. They lack a testimony that our message is true, so we are trying to help them pray and find out for themselves if these things are true.

So yeah its been a good week. It has started to get cold, which is sad. But the work goes on. Today is a nice sunny day at least, and most of this week should be too. 

Have a great week! I miss you all!

Elder Richards
