Hey Everyone

Well our district had a baptism this week. May Panisiak. She’s 80 years old and a really funny lady. It was a really good baptism. We have another one coming up this Saturday to a 10 year old girl named Talia. I get to interview her this Wednesday.

It’s been a pretty good week. I’ve been trying to be kind to Elder Coombs more but I’ve definitely been struggling. The other Elders have been as well. Last night Elder Coombs told me he feels like the red headed step child of the district. I told him I hope he gets a companion that he really likes next transfer and that even though we are not friends, that we can still be united in our purpose as missionaries. I cant wait until next transfer.

Well Mothers day is coming up soon! I’m really excited to see all of you! It’s really ironic because I’m going to be at the same members’ home as I was on Christmas doing Skype. I’ve been here for a bit. haha.

We stopped by some less active members this week like always and got some pretty good stories out of them. The excuses people make are so ridiculous hahaha.

As we were walking to a less actives house we saw this lady raking leaves and  asked her if she needed help. She said sure. So we dropped our bags and started helping. She thought we were joking, but she was super nice and we talked for a bit. It was really nice.

I’m not sure if I told you about Jason last week. He wants to meet with us and he is super nice. No Christian background, so this is going to be fun haha

We had some fun dinner appointments this week. The Moores were way fun. they have 3 crazy kids and they put on the Beatles on their record player and told us that we didn't have a choice. I was definitely okay with that haha. So it was really nice and we had a great time.

Well I hope you all have a good week, and tell the kids that I really enjoy not hearing from any of them for months. come on. its not that hard to send an email... haha

Love you all, and thanks for everything! talk to you soon!
