Ok so how should i start this off? ... oh well me and my new companion Elder Tracy have been trying to tear it up here in Martigny and from what i can tell we are keeping the confidance of the members that me and Elder Whatcott established so that is good. He is from Georgia and is really cool and has a desire to do the lords work so that is good :)
This week has been pretty stressfull for me, normally how it goes is durring weekly planing we figure out what we are going to do and then i have to find out all the train times so that all of our rendez vous will line up and not overlap. but this week i slacked a little so what ended up happening was i was going off of memory what the train times where and i did ok. and at the same time i am trying to teach elder Tracy how to get around this place it is by far the hardest place in the mission to navigate, instead of one city you have like 20 all spread out up and the mountain sides. it is seriously everything that you every dreamed switzerland would be. cool little villages with a church in the middle, i love it its soooo beautifull.
this week we where able to see a couple investigator and they where really nice but our highest priority is a 9 year old boy of a member. we have to take a train 45 min and then walk 30 min to arrive at there building its crazy!!! but worth it.
Today i have the opportunity to go and play tennis :) i am so excited, i hope that i do good. we are going to be playing with Addie ... you know the sweet californian that does a ton of missionary work. i might have the opportunity to play one of her friends, apparently he is a Pro from india, so if i do ok against him i will feel ok. wish me luck.
Well i hope that you all have a fantastic week i love you.
