Last week was all right. We've actually had transfers now and I ended up getting a new companion. Funny that I'm already on my third companion. Seems I'm having a lot more companions that everyone else that I came out with. My new companion is named Elder Top. He's from Albany, Oregon, and the best way to describe him is, a hipster. He's 22 and before his mission he went to the University of Idaho getting a music major. He plays Trumpet and Piano, and does Jazz music. He's a pretty interested person, sometimes I hate him, sometimes I don't. But he's a really good missionary. The reason I call him a hipster is he has some interesting clothing choices. He's really into skinny ties, weird fabric ties and so forth. He also wears slap bracelet watches. (You know those slap bracelet things we used to buy at the DI? Now they have those, but they're watches, actually pretty cool.)

Now that I have a new companion, I'm basically completely taking over the area of Gardner and Paola. I'm not the "Senior Companion" but I basically am. I'm helping Elder Top come on in and take over the area. Honestly there's not a lot going on lately. We had a surge of referrals the last two weeks, but now it seems we're getting dropped by investigators and so forth. Our main goal lately has been trying to find some more people. Elder Top has always had pretty good success with tracting, but unfortunately it doesn't really work well for the Gardner area. We went tracting a bit the past few days and we've only gotten one potential investigator. We're trying to work more with the members and get some good referrals from them, but for the rest of the week we have an all right schedule. We have some people that our awesome ward mission leader wants us to start seeing and I've set up some appointments with people that we haven't seen for a while.

Elder Top also had the same trainer as me, Elder M. It's funny because we talk about him a lot, but Elder M. was a lot different with Elder Top than me. Elder Top almost makes Elder M. seem like this super mean guy, but I thought Elder M. was super nice and fun to work with haha.

Things are going well though, just trying to get the area started up and introduce Elder Top to the area. We work all right together, though sometimes he simply drives me crazy. Anyways, I need to write my mission president now, and then I'm going to go and enjoy the rest of my p-day. I'm going to take my companion out to Oklahoma Joe's so it should be a good lunch.
