the weather has been crazy. i was talking to one of our ward mission leaders out here and he was saying that the average rain fall in the months of march, april, and may are 6 inches. and supposedly we are already up to 12 inches of rain fall march, april, and may. but it has been pretty crazy. we live kind of down in the flats and alot of places are flooding, in fact, there is this one road down in plain city where the water was gushing out of this river and there was about 3 feet of standing water in the road...and that was all from rain and people are saying that it just floods from the snow coming off the mountain and most of the snow hasn't even come off the mountain so that is going to be some bad news bears.anyways for as the work is going, it is going pretty slow. Elder Law and I are actually working and we are kind of getting mad at the people in this area. the reason being is because they aren't really helping us out a ton. for example we are trying to get a couple of kids to church whose parents are inactive. and the parents don't want to go to church and they don't care if their kids don't go to church and we have talked to their neighbors and we have asked them several weeks in a row if they could invite them. and every week when we check up on them they have told us that they didn't invite them....which is super lame. i dont get it. but that has kind of been one frustrating this week that we have had to deal with and also we set up 22 lessons this week and 9 of them cancelled, which has been super gay. but i hate to be a whiner, but this area is slow and the less active people are really mean, they don't want anything to do with the church, and i feel that some of the people that we are meeting with are just meeting with us like it is a chore and i feel that they don't have a desire to meet with us... but for the good news, our one ivestigator named Mike who has been taught by missionaries for about 10 months, has finally accepted a baptismal date for june 11th! which is awesome and his newly married wife is going to be baptized next month, so that will be exciting! but i love my companion, Elder Law, he is one awesome dude. he is way into asian food and he also likes to have the apartment clean, and he is smart but anyways hope everything goes well with you this week and that it doesn't rain too much!


Love
