Hey Guys,

I just finished my first week in the new sector.  It’s pretty good.  It’s called Almendroza.  I like it a lot.  Honestly, I haven’t had much time to get to know it because we’ve had a lot of meetings, but it’s cool.  It’s definitely the most city sector I have had so far, but it’s still kind of campo.  I do like being in the city.  For P-Day activities and zone meetings, it’s all right in my sector.  No bus tickets to buy or travel time, so that’s nice.

My comp right now is Elder Haar.  He is a good guy.  He has one change more than me right now.  He is a nice guy, and I think this is going to be a good change.

These last couple of weeks, I have been working on my prayers.  Instead of a routine where I say the same things, I am trying to have a conversation with God, and tell Him my frustrations, problems, fears, and my genuine feelings.  He really is our Father.  I have noticed that as I do that, I really am receiving revelation and help for things that I need to do better.  I invite you all to do the same.  It does make a difference in prayers, and as we are more sincere and honest with our prayers, feelings and answers to questions will come more stronger than otherwise.

I love you guys.  Have a great week!

Elder Halverson
