"Mormon block"

Had a baptism this weekend!! It was awesome. It was Justin C., He's 19. He was introduced to the church 2 years ago by his girlfriend, who is a member of this ward. Wanted tog et baptized but his parents said that if he did that he would get kicked out out the house. So he waiteed for 2 years until about this last June when he showed up to church. He has a super strong testimony and he's awesome. He had me confirm him, which was awesome. Made the whole week awesome.

This week was super good for the amount of lessons we taught. Taught a total of 35 lessons. Found 17 new investigators, which is great. But a lot of them are in the Projects, which is the government housing, so its ghetto haha but a lot of the people there are humbled because of their tough financial situations and so they are looking for something better. Lot of drugs there too but people are pretty nice generally. We have a few awesome active families that live there and we love seeing them. They all live like right next to each other and so we call that part of the projects "Mormon block".

Leiloni and Anara made it to church this sunday. I was so happy to see them. They haven't been for the past couple of weeks because of health issues. I wish you all could meet leiloni one day. She is amazing. I Love her so much. Gonna miss her when i leave.

So transfers are coming up this coming tuesday. We find out what happens on saturday when President calls. I am ready to get transferred haha. I have been here for almost 7 months now, starting to get old... I just need a change. 

Oh so this last week I went on an exchange with the bike Elders and i worked with Elder Butikofer in the bike area. And it was the hottest day of like the whole summer. I have never sweat so much in my whole life before. Riding bikes was the worst but it made for a great experience and good stories. I drank like a gallon of water that morning. 

So.. in the likely event that I get transferred this coming week, if you send me something in the mail it needs to be soon or else send it to the mission office and they will forward it to my new address. 

I love you all!!
