We been gettin lots of rain. (Monday, January 18, 2015)

Dear Mom and everyone else, 

Before anyone tries to correct my grammar, that's a quote from "The Best Two Years," and it definitely applies to Sonoma right now! Side note, why isn't there a movie called "The Best Year and a Half"? Anyway, this week was pretty decent. Nothing too exciting has been happening, and things have slowed down a bit because of the rain. There was only one hispanic person who came to church yesterday out of all of the members and investigators, and he pops in every once and a while and then dashes out before sacrament meeting ends. 

We have been trying some new finding techniques lately too. We were going through our area book and discovered that we weren't teaching anyone named Maria and every good Spanish area needs at least one investigator named Maria, so we decided to look up every person in the area book named Maria who had talked to missionaries before. Ironically of the about 15 that we tried yesterday (out of the 50+ in the area book), we were only able to talk to one person named Maria. The rest either weren't home or had moved or didn't answer the door, and the one Maria we talked to was the very last one we tried at the end of the night. They were busy, but they did say we could come back another day and talk some more with them. Hopefully it works out! Then our "Maria day" was probably inspired, instead of just some crazy idea we had because nothing else seems to be working at this point. Good times. I am excited for this upcoming week though, we made some good plans and we have some great appointments scheduled and I know we're going to see more miracles.

Well, that's it for now folks, until next week!
