This week was fine. Not much visible success but there is lots of potential. We found a few new investigators and they seemed really solid but they ended up not working out. We had no investigators in church and we two people cancel on going to the missionary fireside.
We saw our investigator Lyncon and it went pretty well and he agreed to a date but then said that he couldn't see us for two weeks.. so the date didn't really work out. We have gone by a few times since then and he is doing alright, he is just really thinking about things and I think he genuinely wants to find out if this is right. He could have potential.
We were able to set up an appointment with Sylia and even got members for the appointment but then she didn't answer. So that was disappointing and she also didn't come to church. But we still think she has lots of potential! And her daughter really wants to come to church.
The Christmas Initiative (Light the World) has been great. We were in a members home every day this week showing them the videos and I just love it. The members are excited about it and many shared their testimonies on it in sacrament meeting yesterday. We are focusing in on two families but working more closely with the Young family and that has been fun. We really love them. I love this ward.
Highlights: On the worldwide day of service, we went a painted the walls of a members home. On "honour your father and mother day" for the Christmas Initiative we found a new investigator from São Paulo, Brazil!! On Saturday, the Hillams, a senior couple came and inspected our flat and it was really nice to see them, it felt like talking to my grandparents. Elder Hillam played football at BYU and they both are huge fans so it was really nice to finally talk to some BYU fans!
I hope you all are watching the videos for Light the World every day and are doing things for each day! It really is a great way to focus on our Saviour.
Have a great week everyone!!

P.S. I know my hair is super short.. Elder Fan cut it a couple weeks ago and accidentally buzzed it all off. Because he is such a nice companion he did it to himself right after haha. Everyone please pray for my hair to grow quickly.
