One Third

I'm really running out of creative titles, and don't really have time

to think of a better one... But like it says, today marks 1/3 of the

mission for me! That's 8 out of 24 months, and it's also ridiculous.

Time passes way too fast here, and I'm quickly losing all the time I

have to help as many people as possible as a full time missionary, so

I'm just gonna live it up and go all out! Yeah!

This week our baptisms didn't happen. The bishop here rescheduled to

this Friday so that we can accomodate everyone. It is his brother and

nephew that are being baptized after all! Super cool stuff. We have so

many amazing people we are working with here, it's just hard getting

them to come to church a lot of the time, which serioulsy impedes.

We're doing everything we can though! It just got a lot colder last

night, and we're hoping it sticks. Tired of sweating all day. It's

good though, because I hardly notice the sweat and everything until we

arrive home at night. I just love this work too much!!

I don't have like any more time, so I'll tell you more about our

baptisms next week when I have pictures. Also, I'll have to do my

standard email about my companion, as transfers are coming next week!

ANOTHER transfer!! Holy cow. It's too much. Just know that we are

working hard, and I'm recording all the funny/crazy stories that

happen, like the guy who told us to repent the other day before it's

too late. Fun stuff! Love you all! Keep working hard and stay firm in

the gospel!
