Week 10- New Companion

First let me start out by saying Isabelle looks like a grown woman in those homecoming pictures and It was so weird hahaha.  She is beautiful!!!

1.) My companion is pretty cool he can sing really well and plays a tad bit of piano, but beat boxes super well. So he has a spot lined up for him for vocal point, BYU's Capella group! But we may or may not sing together because the only chance I have to do a musical number would be at zone conference next transfer which we probably wont be together.   
Elder Barker is from Orange County, CA and is not awkward he is super smart and a good missionary! He just doesn't talk a ton but when he does he is not awkward. He is  deathly afraid of bees. A wasp flew into our member home and he wouldn't leave the bedroom! he locked the door and put blankets in the cracks under the door so it wouldn't fly through. I finally told him if he comes out of the room and tilt the lamp down which was holding the yellow jacket wasp, then I will kill it. He kept saying I can't I can't oh my gosh oh my gosh elder no! I was trying not to laugh because he kinda has a high voice hahaha! We killed the bee and we were able to complete our studies. 
 
He also never learned how to ride a bike so he has been learning on his mission. He always slips or says freak a lot when riding the bike and has to get off and walk it up hills so I'm being very patient with him. I have realized that there is never a reason to get mad even when you can't stand that a 19 year old man can't ride a bike to save his freaking life haha!  It's not a big deal though, other than that we get along pretty well for the most part.  He has been out only 6 weeks a head of me so honestly I'm planning for our day.  I'm basically showing him things about being a district leader,  so I have had a lot of stress trying to balance a ton more than last transfer!  But it is a good stress because its teaching me how to multi task and to think a ton more! I'm growing more than I think! I have been getting way better at remembering things too!
 
2.) last transfer with Merkley was awesome just because we have bishops trust and we dug the area out of the grounds. but one thing I noticed was that  we didn't have a ton of progressing investigators. So now Elder Barker and I are not going to focus on the quantity of lessons but we are going to focus on helping our investigators progress so really praying about what we can teach these people and things to say that will help them progress.
 
3.) I fasted yesterday for an investigator and I think I have figured out what I want to say
 
4.) I heard Nic got home.  I miss him a ton!! Lauren told me you watched the video of Nic coming home for like 10 minutes! Dang you have a long time to wait to have our video. hahaha love you!!  If you see him at church please tell him I miss him a ton!!
 
5.) Kate Rohrer won homecoming queen. I did study groups with her and Josie Weaver in anat and phys
 
6.) Can you start working on music for me? vocal point album, penatonix christmas album, i will send you a list of music next week , I wrote down songs. You don't have to buy them you just copy and paste and download it mp3 style. That's what all missionaries brothers or mom's do. 
 
7.) I played the piano and I'm writing a ton of arrangements and my piano skills are still there.   I have been playing out of my books and by memory 

That's all I got this week 

I Love You!

Uh oh I forgot I moved houses!
 
 
PS:
You can send me  More gift cards? Chipotle, red robin
