New Companion 7/24/17

 This week I got a new companion!!! His name is Elder Cox and he is from American Fork, Utah!!! He’s super tall (like 6´6) and ginger. We are super good friends and we have like almost the same time here in the mission. I got here like six weeks after him! He is a zone leader too. We have been working super hard, and we are finding some super awesome people! 

Cool experience, yesterday we were working super hard in the afternoon and we weren’t having very much success. We were a little frustrated, really sunburnt, and we didn’t know what to do haha. So we decided to say a specific pray to find a family to start teaching! We asked that we could find a family of 3 or more that are willing to go to church and let us teach them before we went home for the night! We started working super hard, and we worked for like 2 hours straight and didn’t really have any success still. We decided we were going to work till it started to get dark and then go home. It had started to get dark, so we were walking to the main road to go home, but we were really far from home. So as we were walking, we saw this young guy and girl in a car driving by us. They looked at us and then we both at the same time asked them if we could have a ride home. They said sure and we jumped in! We asked them where they were going to see if they could drop us off a little bit closer to the house, but turns out that they were just looking for a license plate that had fallen off their car. They were actually just going to go home (in the other direction) but they saw us and waited for some reason. They were super nice and offered to take us all the way home! It was a brother and sister and they asked us what we do and we told them everything. Then we asked them if we could visit them and they said yes, gave us their direction, phone number, and said we could pass by two days later to teach their whole family, there are eight people. We then asked them if they would be interested in going to church with us. They said that they would love to, because they have always wanted to but have never had a church to go to. They are super awesome and they are the answer to the prayer that we said! 
 
Pictures… selfie with my hat that I bought this week, best purchase I’ve ever made.
