Bryce has a new companion named Elder Paswater who is quite the hard worker and is really excited to get started. Bryce is also glad he speaks English :)
"The last six weeks started very slowly and ended with a bang. Elder Paswaters came in on a very rewarding note. Ill relate a story that put the icing on the cake:
After transfer meeting, Elder Paswaters and I were street contacting in a parking lot for a bit. We ran into a lady whom we set up an appointment with for Tuesday. Yesterday we went to find her on 'Big Yankee Ct' She had given us the house number of 13913. We could not find it anywhere! So we turned onto a different street and found the same number on that street. We were not sure if she made a mistake or gave us the wrong address, but either way, when we knocked on the door, 18 year old Chante opened the door. She told us she had been looking for a church to go to and invited us in. We then talked to her and her boyfriend. Right before we started teaching, Her 12 year old brother came out of no where into the room and asked us, "How do you baptize?" Devante just set us up for the easiest invite I have ever had. All 3 said that they would be baptized and will be at church on Sunday. We will see them again on Thursday. I started to play a game with myself. Whenever I think of wanting to be home I just really put myself there and what I would be doing. After a few weeks I would have to go to school and do homework, get a job.....do homework. and other things like that! So that lifts me out of it every time. No offense but I'm ok being here! I have to convince myself of that around the holidays. :)
Thanksgiving was good. We got to just hang out with Quinn and Raina. Hanging out is nice. Teaching is good too but sometimes its nice to be able to just chill."
