Hey Everybody!!!

This has been another great week. We have been so blessed here in this area! This week we found nine new investigators. Eight of them were Spanish. The best thing was that in the past we have had a problem of teaching a bunch of guys who rented apartments together. They could not progress very easily because of bad influences around them. These Eight new investigators were all part of families! They are great people. One of our new investigators called us at 11:30 on Saturday night and left us a message saying she wanted to go to church on Sunday! I really feel so blessed. We have had days before where you sometimes knock doors for hours and you don't find anybody. With this transfer I was really stressed because I didn't think we would be able to find as many people because we are so busy with English and Spanish, but we have found way more since then, without knocking any doors! It is amazing how when you are given a greater burden, if you respond in a good way, you receive more blessings! I know the Lord is watching over us here and that he is leading us to find those who will receive our message!

Last Monday we went to a member's house for our preparation day. They live right by the banks of a river. Their daughter took us all on a tour of "The bamboo forest" It was really cool. There is just a random group of bamboo growing by the river. That is not really normal in Georgia. It was not quite like Hawaii but it was still really cool. Some of the other Elders climbed way up the bamboo to get into a high tree. We weren't really sure they would be able to get back down, but they were able to slide back down the bamboo.

Love, Elder Banner
Hey Everybody!!!
