Week 2: Out In The Field

So this week was pretty amazing!!! but isnt every week in the WA-TAC haha. so our mission pres made a goal for the whole mission to have 300 new investgators this week. and so our focus was getting those new people. i must say i got really discouraged this week during our 5-7 knocking. we really didnt have any sucess at finding people. except on one night we were knocking in tenino. all night we had no answer or im not intrested and even one guy cuss us out. so it wasnt a great night for my high energy but the VERY last door we knocked a lady named christine Pine answered. she is 74 christian background and knows that christ has saved her from many things in her past. so we got to talking and the thing i loved the most was he said "i do have some concers about your church" my first thought was well what are they but they left QUICKLY and nor did elder elder ask it. so we didnt argue and we meet with her again tomrrow. so its pretty sweet. we got 4 referals from different people this week too. so im pretty sure you are all wondering about the goal of 300 new in the mission, mine and elder elder goal was 5 new and our zone was 20. the zone had 28!!! and me and elder elder found 5!!!!! way awesome!!!!! the mission as a whole had 317 new found this week!!!!!
 
so no onto confrence! who watched it? IF YOU DIDNT START READING ALL THE TALKS!!! they were amazing. most of the new age limits of 18 and 19 was a total shock. i think it was a cool thing for some of the kids back home. it proves the church needs more missionaries and worthy ones. the bar has been raised again and doubled for us current missionaries to be the example for the new ones. i know that at 18 i wouldnt have been ready so thats one thing im glad about. but confrence has an amazing spirit we had a mother and son come to the saturday afternoon session. she knows its true!! she said it her self and i think her son has similar feelings. we are hoping to get in and talk to her this week and start teaching them. so that was my week pretty much full of tender mercies of the lord. 
 
Love

Elder Torres also told my Mom that 23 months is not long enough and he wants to extend his mission. I love how hard he works and the enthusiasm He has to serve the Lord!
