Week 6 coming again

Transfers are coming up yet again. I find out next Monday.
This week was less busy than last week, but we got more missionary work in. I went on exchanges with Elder Wohlrab (DL) in my area. So I led everything that day. It wasn't difficult. It was kind of refreshing. 
Last Monday we was zone pday so we got together for lunch and had a BBQ and played sand volleyball. That was pretty fun, but I got a bad blister on my foot. 
We found a new investigator last week. We were contacting a potential investigator and they didn't answer, so we were about to drive away but we went to the house next door and we knocked. The guy is a 55 year old retired Russian physicist. He has studied religion a lot and he is interested in having discussions, but he probably doesn't have much potential. His two room/house-mates have some potential. They are very nice as well, but they had to leave for work when we were there. Perhaps in the future. 
On Saturday we were able to contact a less active who was baptized 7 years ago. She is really good and she just had life changes and she stopped going to church. She is the best less active I have seen. She has lots of potential for coming back, plus her husband is a non-member. PMF for the win. We will see. And her cat loved me and was all over me.
Yesterday we contacted another less-active and that was a pretty sad experience. He is in his forties, he served a mission, he was a bishop, he had lots of stake callings. The only reason he hasn't removed his records is because he wants to respect his father. He respects and knows what being a missionary is like (he said it was the best two years of his life). That was the only reason he let us in. He is a Vice President for a company that manages more than half of the world's IP networks and internet traffic. 
In happier (?) news, me and my companion are the "moms" of the district. We got the van and we bake/bring the missionaries treats. Interesting.
We are finally meeting with Robb, that investigator who dropped us a while back. We have an appointment with him at 1 o'clock. 
I'm also very excited to play tennis right after that. I have been trying to play for months, but finally I found a member who can play with us. Pretty fun.
That's all this weeks folks

Bye,
Elder Wheelwright
