We had a great week! :) The good news is that Claypole is a great area and we found a bunch of new investigators this past week. The ward is kind of small, only about 40 people come to church but the members are great and the bishop seems to be animated to work with us so these are good things. Other good news is that my companion actually isn't disobedient. I'm not sure why everyone told me he was but from all Ive seen so far hes pretty obedient and wants to be a good missionary.
The bad thing about the area is that elder Roy and his last comp kinda killed the area the last transfer. Meaning we have pretty much 0 investigators, which is a bummer. What happened was Elder Roy went up to senior comp last transfer and came to Claypole and his comp was an american that was really new and didnt understand spanish. So when elder Roy got here they didnt understand each other and the new elder hadn't really learned the area very well with his first companion so they were both kinda lost and all that jazz, so elder Roy did what he could do and started doing contacts and that's all they really did-- which isn't the most effective thing to do. So now we are here together and its going very well. We had a drunk guy invite us in the other day and ask us to say a prayer for his kids, so we did and got a return appointment for when he wouldn't be drunk.
So ya that's pretty much the area so far. Thank you so much for the packages... the peanut butter and chocolate got here without melting or spilling, so thanks a lot! I had a great birthday! Elder Velasquez is in my zone again and he made me Peruvian food and cake. So it was all around a good day.
Will you please wish Gpa Schupple a happy B-day for me and tell him thanks for the present.
This week I was thinking a lot about trials in that if we don't learn from the first one Heavenly Father will prob keep sending a similar one until we learn.
Thanks for all your love and prayers. I love you all.
Elder Schupple
