I dont have much to say this week.
We had a cool experience with a New Investigator that we are teaching named Ms Marion. She's an Older women who lives in a neighborhood that we visit often. We read 3 Nephi 11 with her and the spirit was so strong the whole Lesson. We helped her understand that the Book Of Mormon really does Testify of Christ, that it is true, and that it is so vitally important to us today. She is so excited about the Book Of Mormon. This week when we came over we were just chatting for the first few minutes while we were in the door and we had barely sat down when she said "Alright Let's get to reading the Mormon Bible! I love it when Y'all read to me! Let's say a prayer!" She was just so excited and ready to learn. It was wonderful. Whenever we talk she hangs on every word that we say. She wants us to teach her everything! She loves the Gospel and she accepted an invitation to be baptized on just our second visit! She wants to come to church with us and learn everything. It is so exciting. We are going to stay very close to her to help her keep that fire. There is so much potential and love in this area.Transfers have come and gone. I will probably be staying another 3 months as a Zone Leader in New Orleans. Elder Crouch is leaving and going to my first area in Alexandria Louisiana. I have been telling him all about the members there and the stories I have from that area I'm going to make him a list of people that he has to visit and remind them that I love them and havent forgotten about them. Especially Irma. Good Ol Irma In Alexandria. I miss her a LOT! (Irma was more or less the First Investigator that I found, taught and helped to be baptized. She is still very active in the ward and is doing wonderful I think about her ALL the time.)
I will be serving with my Old MTC Companion ELDER ROMERO. I am very excited to be serving with him. We had a blast in the MTC serving together and now were reunited to serve as Zone Leaders again in the real deal. I am so excited about it. I'll be meeting up with him tomorrow and moving our adventure will begin!

Pictures:
I saw a Delorean that someone had tricked out to look EXACTLY like the one from back to the future. So we pulled over and had to take a picture of it. It was so cool. A lot of the cars we see here in NOLA are very unique.

I also thought I'd include: we did talk to the guy in the back of my picture. he didnt really want to talk to us at all though. He just wanted a picture with the car. Same as us.
