10 months.......... I hate time..........(that's my new line =)

Can anyone descibe to me how my 10 month mark just came and went like it was nothing? hahah

I can not even begin to descibe on how much has happened this past week! Me and Elder Christensen have spent the past week finding people. We have actually tried working in areas that we think missionaries haven't been for awhile. I don't know what has changed, maybe it's just having Elder Christensen here, but because of all our finding efforts we have right now nine lessons planned for the up coming week! It is just amazing! I have never seen so many people open to hearing more, while knocking and contacting on the streets! Three of the nine appointments were made while knocking on their door steps!
One of the thee, on last Saturday, was a woman named Eva. We knocked on her door and found out she comes from Hungary, catholic background. Her husband is Greek, with an orthodox background. And her son is actually religious and open to hearing about other religions!! We made an appointment with her and her family for this Saturday. At the door she even told us to try asking her two neighbors. It's just been a remarkable week! And that is only a tiny bit of all the potentials that we have found.
Our investigators who come from Camaroon, came to church yesterday. They very much enjoyed it. The Plan of Salvation was taught in guest class. We were a little worried because it felt like it was just taught. Especially in only in 30 minutes. At the end of the lesson, our mission leader asked them if they had any questions. They both responded no and that it was all familier to them. Also, we showed them the way to church, and the husband was asking us all these missionary questions. He was wondering if he could be a missionary, or if he could go to Camaroon and be a missionary, or if he could start the church in Camaroon. They were all surprising questions. We are hoping to be meeting with them this next weekend.
Me and Elder Christensen are doing great! We actually have a lot in common. It's really weird.... Like we both want to be Mechanical Engineers. We both use the same lines. Like ''oh my gosh'' or ''Good Gravy'' haha. We are getting along with each other just fine. I am doing much better and I am so happy to be here. The work here is truly picking up!
Well that sums op the week practically. We have actually been really excited to skype next week on Sunday. We both have no idea where the past five months have gone at all! Blows our minds!!! So excited to see the family again and talk with them. Well hope you all have a wonderful week! Keep it rolling on in the Work of Salvation!!
