Dear Family and Friends,
Wow, what a week! It was
filled with lots of stuff what with my birthday and everything and
teaching investigators and fulfilling responsibilities. First, I want to
thank my family for the wonderful package and presents that they sent
me! Seriously I was very happy on my birthday! I
had a great birthday. It didn't even feel like I was turning 20 but I
woke up on my birthday and was just thinking as I was getting myself
some mate. Haha, my companion made me pancakes, we opened my presents! Elder
Thomas and I are loving the mini basketball hoop...we've already done
some 1 on 1 matches :) haha! I've been drooling over the cap'n crunch
all week! I've eaten about half already and even the other gringo
missionaries in the zone are jealous! :D Thanks so much for the photos,
the other food and stuff, etc! :D I was very happy with it all thanks! We
had district class that day so everybody celebrated a little bit! :)
Elder Rice was so awesome and gave me a tie for my birthday! Haha, he's
awesome, LOVE HIM! That day we didn't have lunch with anyone in the ward
so Elder Thomas and I decided to go home and make the corn bread I had
gotten. We cooked it and spread some melted butter on top and it was
DIVINE. Seriously, we baked it to perfecction!!! Golden brown! We also
ate the cookie dough...all raw! JUST HOW I LIKE IT ;) Hahah! Later that
night we taught some of our investigators (C and J) and my comp
told them it was my birthday so we celebrated a little bit and had once
:) It was really fun and I was really grateful!
So
we decided to do zone jerseys. There were a lot of ideas but Elder Deal
wanted to do a design like a shirt and tie. I was a little skeptical
but to be a good sport I decided to support it and everything! THEY
TURNED OUT AWESOME! We got the tag on the front, a tie, and the collar
looks just like a dress shirt collar! :) Hahaha, they look awesome!
Our
investigators are doing well. We've been dropping some investigators
who aren't progressing at all but those who are committed have really
been stepping up. I and M are doing well. M has been
wanting to be baptized for AGES! She believes the Book of Mormon is
true, she loves going to church, and she loves learning. I has
dropped tea and she is reading the Book of Mormon a lot! They didn't go
to church on Sunday
so that worries us a little bit. C and J went to church! C
went in a shirt and tie so that was cool! Everything is going well well
with them and I'm confident they are going to be baptized on the 7th as
planned!!! :D
Anyways, that's the update for this week! Take care everybody, love you!
