We found a house this last week, but are still not sure. I think we have to be out by the end of this week or the beginning of next. We still aren’t sure what to do, but are glad to be missionaries anyway. Elder Renshaw leaves today, so we got a new assistant. I really looked up to Elder Renshaw even though I didn’t know him well. I am also really excited for the new one, Elder Livingston, He was in our zone this last change. Elder Maxfield and I are focusing on lessons with members, finding news, and having them assist on Sunday. Pray for our efforts here. We need extra excitement and faith to apply what we learn from Chapter 9. It’s not easy to just talk to anyone and everyone on the street, but I did find that I am much more happy when I do it. Please pray for Elder Maxfield. He has had it rough his mission with companions and with people. He is willing to change, but is not sure what to do. Don’t worry, everything is usual, but some blessings from Heaven would help him much. This last change has stretched me so much. I feel like I’m changing. I have really tried to focus on helping him this change, and in so doing, I have become more myself than ever before. Elder Holland said in his talk "the divine companionship" that "if you haven’t learned that helping someone else is more important than focusing on your own success, than please start learning that lesson now. You will understand the Atonement and many other lessons that have come down to us through the generations. It’s more or less like that.
