Me and Elder Lacey are getting along well. In random news, he taught me how to solve a Rubik's Cube and I've now done it in 4:38. He's done it in 20 seconds, so I still have a ways to go. We did have some excitement this week, we ended up going on two exchanges with the Dunn Elders. I had planned out that I would go with one, but they got confused and the other one ended up coming instead. So, I just decided to do them back to back, finishing all of the exchanges I had to do this transfer in two days. It would have been more, but as of last night the F1 Elders got taken out of our district and replaced by the Fay4 Sisters for car sharing purposes. We'll see if we can pull what we did last transfer and have our district win all of the pies in the zone. Anyways, on to the teaching. 

We haven't been able to get up with just about anyone who we were teaching previously this week, which kind of sucks. We've been calling or texting people daily to try to set up times to visit them, but no one has responded. Then, yesterday everyone bailed on church and their lessons. Except for 4 less active families we've been working with, they all came! Now the Elder's Quorum is planning an activity to get people more solidly reactivated. Well, the Hispanics are, which means that they're be a lot of food! They're still hashing out the details, but that'll be awesome. Then, there was a referral who we'd been trying to contact and meet with, but he kept on canceling last minute. Then Sunday night we suddenly had nothing to do, so we tried texting him for the second time that day and he said we could go over! We went and taught him the Restoration, and it turns out that he remembered it from a few years before where he had talked to some missionaries before. In fact, he walked to the back and pulled out a large print Book of Mormon! He hadn't read it, but we committed him to start. It was a really good lesson. We also went to a return appointment that we had set that seemed pretty shaky, it was some Hispanic lady who I had talked to on exchanges a few days back who was looking for her dog, Marley. We just talked to her briefly and set up the return. When we went back, she was there with her boyfriend, who was a less active we hadn't been able to find! That part was super cool. It was a really good lesson, but they're super busy so we couldn't set up another return appointment. However, we did get their number and we're going to set up something whenever we can. 

Well, I think that's about it, bye!
