I am doing wonderful!

My week was very good.  We are continuing to work hard,
and this week we changed our focus onto the area book
(the book where we, and previous missionaries who 
served in metz, record our lessons taught, potential
investigators, etc.)  We are trying to find people who
had previously been in contact with the missionaries and
see if they had just been forgotten, if the had a change of 
heart, and any other things that we can help them out with. 
We have already seen a lot of success with that and are
scheduling a lot of rendez-vous with a 
lot of people.  The work is moving forward, which is great!

Both of you had mentioned sending ensigns, or other
church magazines since the ones I read are old. 
Thank you so much for your concern but we actually get the 
latest one at zone conference and at interviews, both of
which are once every six weeks, so I should be good. 
There are tons of old magazines in the apartment. 
And as for other church books go, we can only read the
standard works and also the missionary library (true to the faith,
our search for happiness, our heritage, and Jesus the Christ
(which I brought all of)).  We get an hour of personal study
from 8 to 9, and then companion study from 9 to 10, so 
I get plenty of time to study which is great.  I read the
Book of Mormon every morning for 20 minutes, and I on
my second way through since I have been out and 
I am just starting Jacob; I read Preach my Gospel for 10 minutes;
I am reading the whole new testament and I am just finishing
up Mark right now, and for the last 10 minutes and any other
free time I read the missionary library.  I 
actually just finished Our Heritage today, and I have already
read our search for happiness, and true to the faith,
so I am starting Jesus the Christ tomorrow which is
probably 4 times the size of the others combined, with 
probably that much more to learn!  So I am excited!

the end of the transfer is a week from today, so I will know 
next Tuesday whether I am staying in Metz another
6 weeks or going somewhere else!  I will keep you informed!

Love,
Elder Clayton "Bubba" Welch
