So Bandon is picking up just like I knew it would. This week has been a challenge but some miracles have happened. We have found two new investigators and they both seem like they are pretty sincere so that was crazy.

We had zone training meeting which is where the zone leaders and the district leaders teach the zone so that was super weird teaching a group where literally everyone of them had been out longer than me besides the girl in training lol. Being a district leader is super weird but it's alright. It was super good to see our zone for the first time though. The coos bay zone is like the only zone that is so spread out that you only see everyone for big meetings.

Anyway, so we have been meeting with this part member family the Youngs and it's the husband, Tim who is a member and his wife Angela who is investigating. So Angela has been meeting with missionaries for years and Tim just got baptized when he met the missionaries in December. So we have really been trying to help Tim understand everything and also we have been trying to figure out what is holding Angela back. It's super difficult because Angela hates to be pushed which I totally understand but we also want her to be able to go to the temple with Tim! The thing is, Angela and Tim love me! lol It's so awesome, they are like my sub parents out here. They both really like hanging out with us and doing lessons and just yesterday Angela told us the one thing holding her back from being baptized!! It ends up some missionaries in the past had taught her that  if she gets baptized and her kids don't, she will never be able to see them again after they die!  So we are studying  super hard to teach her the truth! Literally. Everything else she believes! Tim was having a hard time paying tithing and she's like "just pay it already so we can get some blessings, stop being a baby and pay it!" Lol so they are super awesome and now she is progressing since she came to church yesterday and has been doing everything. That was a miracle.

We also moved into a new house on Wednesday so that was a lot of work and sucked but it is a nicer house I think. Bandon really is a beautiful place. And I have been lucky too have seen almost the entire coast in our zone. We went down to gold beach the other day to do service and that was awesome. And I have been all the way up through Florence because of MLC last week so it's been awesome to see so many beautiful places. So that's how Bandon is doing for the most part.  Stay solid!
