Our numbers this past week were the highest in the mission

Alright so this past week was very awesome! Our area's potential is going through the roof and its just awesome! Our numbers this past week were the highest in the mission and we were very surprised when President Fenn called us and told us that! So the work is going great and the Members and starting to work with us more and help us out a lot!

 Ok so i got some news which sucks to say but Elder Adams received a transfer call on Saturday night! I was very sad and upset at the same time cause we work so good together and are really close friends already! He is going to the Naperville zone and is going to be a district leader there! I know he is going to be awesome and work hard over there! So then President Fenn said let me talk with Elder Banta now...I am staying where i am now but i am getting a new companion named Elder McMullin. All i know is that he is from England and has only been out three months longer then me! President Fenn said that he will be senior comp because he has a little bit more experience but that i will mostly be in charge because he wont know the area like i do! So i am super excited and nervous at the same time! i just really hope that we will get along and continue to work hard together! Next week i will have more information of everything but yeah that's the big news for this week! Our new District Leader is Elder Barret and he is another stud missionary! ?Anyways so that's the big change this week so i will be going to transfer meeting this Tuesday to get my new companion and say goodbye to ElderAdams! Also this next tuesday we will now have a pair of sisters in our district! i hope they are ready to work cause we gave them a part of our area that is ready to be harvested!  

So this past week like i said we have been working really hard! We had a ton of member present lessons and it was just going good!  One crazy thing that happened this week...So i was on exchanges with Elder Barret. We went to Rosalinda's and Cielos. When we pulled in Cielo the daughter was siting on the porch crying and Hermana Rosalinda was on the phone inside crying! we didn't know what had happened so we started to slowly ask. We had Omar with us who is a youth in the ward and he speaks really goodSpanish. He talked with the daughter and we talked with her. She told us they got into a fight and the next thing we new is the cops we pulling us right behind us! The first officer came up to us and said wow you beat us here so what happened. I couldn't hold myself and started laughing and said were not the cops or anything and he thought we were. He then asked what we were doing there so we told him she's one of our members and we were coming to teach her! The cops found out that thedaughter was hitting the mom cause she took her phone. The cops told the daughter that if they have to come back tonight that she was going to jail. Keep in mind the daughter is only 17 years old. So they left and we went to talk with Hermana Rosalinda. She told us she took her phone cause she came home from work and walked in on her daughter and her boyfriend breaking the law of chastity on her floor. We were blown away and brought her in to talk with the mom and daughter. They started arguing and we stopped thembefore it got out of hand again. I then called President Ramirez our branchPresident to see what to do. He told them to both come to church tomorrow so he could talk with them. The daughter then started yelling at me and saying i don't even believe in god anyways so I'm not going! you missionaries are crap blah blah blah. I just said that i know god is real and that she is one of his daughters. She looked at me like i just yelled at you and that'sall you have to say? So yeah we left and i haven't heard anything since that so yeah it was a crazy day.
I have learned to be more patient out here cause before when someone would yell at us like that i just wanted to scream at them back! I'm glad i learned that and please keep them in your prayers! 

Well there is a lot more stories and stuff but I'm doing good and we have to go enjoy our last p-day here with Elder Adams. I hope everyone ad a wonderfulholiday and everyone is doing good! Miss you all and will talk to you next week! love you all!!
