This past week we have gotten a lot of new investigators. I have found that in this area we have to work a little differently than I did in my last area. This last week I told my companion that we were going to a certain area and we were going to knock on every single person's door. There just aren't enough interested people here for us to walk until we see someone like in my last area. It has proved effective and we got a lot of new investigators this week. One of the investigators was an old man in his 80s. He was really nice and we taught him a little bit about the plan of salvation. We also gave him a plan of salvation pamphlet and when we came back to him and asked him about it he said "I don't have any problems with it." Some other investigators we found are friendly but the worst is when you get to the end of the lesson and think they are golden investigators and then find out that the husband in a fisherman (they are gone too often to come to church enough times to be baptized). The fishermen here go out on their boats for days to weeks. One fisherman I talked to told me that the best fishing is down in Malaysia. I asked him how long it takes to get to Malaysia and he said it takes a week (and that is traveling on one of those boats that I have sent pictures to you of).
This last week we also had interviews and zone conference which was great. Interviews and zone conferences are always so motivational.
This Saturday we will have the baptism of our 8 year old investigator Kayla. I am excited at last to have a baptism in this area after almost two transfers. This area hasn't had a baptism in many months.
