On Tuesday this week there were transfers and I am staying in Versailles 2 with a new companion named Elder Meza. He is from Salta Argentina and he is kind of crazy but he's a really good missionary. He's got 15 months in the mission. He kind of reminds me of Donkey from Shrek because he always has a bunch of energy.
I am still the district leader and now instead of having 2 other companionships in my district there are now four other companionships in my district. We had a leadership meeting on Friday in the mission home and basically we are making our main focus church attendance. And now every companionship has the goals of committing at lest 20 people to come to church so that at least 10 of those people come. The goal is to have 6 people in the church at least.
So anyways our investigators are kind of not progressing so this week we need to find a bunch of new ones. We had a kid who was gonna get baptized this Saturday but didn't show up to church yesterday so now we will have to see.
Honestly it is just super hard in this area to have lessons with people and to get members to accompany us because everyone works way too much. President Nelson is coming on August 28 and supposedly we are all gonna go to a big event in some soccer stadium but we will see in the future.

Some other info from chat with family:
His companion has 13 brothers and sisters. He is a convert. Only he and one of his brother's joined the church. He works really hard and he's funny.
There are 2 sets of elders and 2 of sisters and Tanner and his comp in his district. 4 americans, 3 brazilians, 1 chilean, 1 argentine, and, 1 bolivian. Non of the sisters are cute. On of them, Elder Ruston likes to play basketball.
He seemed to be doing really well. He was super excited for his new comp. His last one didn't really like to work as you can see from his letter last week that he was sick 3 times last week.
