God answers prayers....no joke

Hola Familia, January 5, 2009
This week was by far without a doubt the best week of my mission so far. My new companion Elder Torralba is tight he is from somewhere around the border so i told him id help him get across the border someday, but he is way tight. He had a lot of problems before and was very disobedient so he got put as menor (the opposite of senior comp) with me. He didnt have any baptisms in this area in December and only 3 in November so i told him that we were going to change all of that and baptize a bunch. I got pretty excited to work hard and we worked our hearts out. We found 21 new investigadores. It was so awesome! Then Saturday night i started my fast (which im going to start every week) and i fasted for Ashley and her family and also that we would have at least 10 invest. in church on Sunday. I knew that if i fasted and prayed for that, Heavenly Father would put in the rest and get the people to church.
So on Sunday we woke up early to go for our new people and only 3 of them were in their houses. Soooo frustrating. But i knew that God would bless us with the other 7 at church so we went with our 3 kind of sad cause we had worked so hard. Then after sacrament meeting we went to our principios del evangelio class (sorry, gospel principles) and another 8 of our investigadores showed up. So we had 11 at church. I really know that God answers our prayers and that if we fast and pray we can see miracles daily. 11 was the most in all of our zone and i was pretty pumped because it was my first week as senior comp. I feel really good about 9 of them and they all should get baptized. I am so excited about this cambio with Elder T. We do the funniest door contacts and we get in a TON of houses. We are pretty much dying laughing all day eveyrday! haha Hes a cool kid. All i have to do is keep him focused and not let him do anything stupid. (like leave the mission or go to the movie theatres or sleep over at memberrs houses,,,, all of which he has aleady done)
The good thing about him is that he is really funny and he doesnt know ANY english so my spanish is going to get even better, i have already noticed it getting way better. Im returning back to where i was with Elder Obregon where i would think in Spanish and dream in spanish and all that. With Elder STirland it was hard to do that. I guess all i have to do is find the good things in each companion and find ways to get them to wok hard.
Oh, we didnt really do anything for New Years we just ate at a members house and then went on top of our roof to watch lame fireworks. It was pretty cool tho. We live like half way up a mountain so we had a good view. Ill send pics that i took from on top of our apartment complex.
Im also sending pics of burning my tie on 6 months and some pics with my new comp.
Bead, im sorry that a one armed kid owned you in bball, that probably means that i can still dominate you. Todd won his game, thats tight! Go Ravens! Give him good luck for me and ill be praying for him as i do for all of you!
Love you all! Have the greatest week and enjoy every minute of what life has to offer.
Con amor,
Elder Greg Heap
