Our Baptism this week fell through, but no problem-- we will come back strong next week! It was a bummer because it was the last week of the transfer (missionaries can be moved to a new area every six weeks (one transfer).
Saturday and Sunday mornings are always a blast! On Saturdays, we actually don't teach many lessons because we are using our time to invite everyone to come to church! Sunday mornings are a blast too! We have this one street where we have a ton of investigators (people who are investigating the church) and recent converts. Church starts at 9:00am, so we wake up really early to go and wake up everybody up. Literally. We wake people up in all sorts of ways, whether its shaking them, throwing their dog and/or cat on their bed with them, or pouring water on them. They always thank you later for waking them up. We go house to house grabbing all of our investigators and then one of the greatest feelings is climbing this big hill in the sun on the way to church with all your investigators. Church is so important. The Church is like a Hospital. We all have different problems (like in a hospital--we are all there for different reasons), and we need the Hospital to get better. The Church is the same but helps us heal spiritually.
Sunday Mornings are crazy!
In Doctrine Principles Class a couple Sundays ago, they asked me to lead the music. But I was the only one with a hymn book so I lead and soloed the four verses! It was a lot of fun!!
Elder Moody had this giant in-grown toenail that was taken out last week. That was cool! We also helped move a member from one house to another! I almost fell out of the Uhaul--although it wasn't a Uhaul! it was more like an oven on wheels offroading.
Sorry, this email is all over the place! Everything is fantastic and can't wait to get back to work! I also saw President Lagos (our mission president) for the second time, today! He is awesome! Every week he drives to areas to visit missionaries that are 9-18 hours away. How great of him! He does this every week!
Love You all!
Keep up the good work in the States!
