Getting used to the area

We have been taking some time getting used to the area! It is nice finding out where members live and where the less active members life. That is probably the hardest part about going to a new area is that you literally know nothing and are just trusting the previous missionary that was here before. It will all come in time though. It always does. I have learned so much this transfer and how to make things better in an area. If you did not know I am also district leader right now. So tomorrow I will be having my first district meeting. We will see how that goes. 

Another thing that happened this week was we had a member of the 70 come and talk to our mission. His name is Elder Martino. He told us that there are 4 things he has seen members do, that help them to never fall away.

1. Family and personal prayer

2. Family and personal scripture study

3. Family home evening

4. Pay a full tithe 

If we do these things he promised us that we will never fall away from the church. So if you are not doing one of this things, I ask you to start doing them all. If you do. I promise that you will never fall away from the church. It is important to get our kids started out on the foot.  It is amazing how simple it is, but so important.

We have had a ton of travel this week because we had to go to the office this week. It was district conference this week and everyone gathered in Yerevan. Which is about 4 and a half hours from my area. So yeah that was my week. I learned my area and spent a lot of time in the car. 

I know that this church is true and all you have to do is read the book to find out. So read the book and pray about it. YOU will get an answer. I promise!
