This week has been kind of interesting there has been some good and some bad, but anyways the good thing is that one of our investigators got baptized this saturday and was confirmed sunday and i had the opportunity of being able to baptize her and it has been an amazing experience being able to teach her and to see her enter the waters of baptism but also we have another baptism coming up tomorrow and i am going to be baptize this little girl also. but things as to the work are going pretty good, we are set to see some more baptisms happen in august then we did in July, this area is starting to pick up and it is good.
But for the bad news this week, my companion, Elder Lanier got sick the other day and he was just throwing up and not having a good time, and he has diabetes and i was thinking that it might have been his diabetes that was getting him sick so then we stayed in the apartment and then 2 days later...i got sick and i started puking up everything.
Transfers are next week so i guess i will find out if i am still staying in this area or if i am leaving. But i will let you know next week. anyways that was my week. Hope that you have a good week!
Love

things have been going pretty good out here. We have gotten a pretty good teaching pool put together. We had one of our investigators interviewed by our Mission President and she passed and she is planning on being baptized either the first week or second week of august. But also we are planning on having another baptism this saturday and also we are planning on one next wednesday. So that will be pretty good. But we are doing really good out here, thanks for sending all that stuff for me this week, i really appreciate it. sorry that this letter is really short, they want to go play basketball, so next week will be longer.
Love

We just saw the angel Moroni put onto the Brigham City temple. It was a really cool thing to see, that was my first time to see an Angel Moroni being put onto a temple, but anyways we got there at 10 and we didn't leave until about 2 PM but at the start it was just overcast and then it started to rain like crazy for about an hour and then the rain calmed down and then they were planning on putting the angel moroni on and then it started to get really windy and they couldn't put it up because of the wind, so then they postponed it a little bit and then they started to put it up and then the sun came out and it was really hot and we were hungry so we left, but i guess our ride that we were with got a call when we were driving back saying that they finally got it up, but i pretty much saw the whole thing because the had the angle moroni sitting on the steeple for about an hour, and they were doing some kind of wiring, but it was still was pretty cool.
but as far as the work goes, things have been going pretty good, we have been having alot of lessons, but our one investigator who was supposed to be baptized on saturday wasn't answer her phone and we havn't seen her in about a week and a half, which is kind of retarted... but she was our most solid investigator and now she has just turned into our most sketchy investigator, which kind of sucks. but her excuse was that her dad couldn't come down from idaho and baptize her but she didn't let us know about this until the last second, but we told her to call us back with a time that we could set a baptism and yesterday she was supposed to be interviewed, but i guess she just bailed on us again...which has been super frustrating, but hopefully she will come around.
but this week we were able to pick up 2 new investigators, which has been really cool, one of them is a 10 year old boy who is pretty much active except his parents aren't really that active and so we are doing the lessons at his aunt's house and he is planning on being baptized on the 30th and then the other investigator is this 30 year old lady. we are finally a little busy and picking up more people to teach, but this one kid that we have been working with is hopefully going to be baptized if his dad can quit smoking, which we gave him a priesthood blessing for so hopefully he can become worthy enough to be able to quit smoking so that he can baptize his kid that we have been working with.
But other than that things are going well, Elder Lanier almost got hit by a car on his bike the other day, but anyways have a good week.

So this week has been a pretty good week even with July 4th and everything, normally Saturdays are our worst days because we don't have any lesson's set up and people are never home on saturdays even though it seems like they would be home, but anyways we actually had a lesson yesterday even though it was july 4th, but yesterday i had elk steak for the first time in my life and it was pretty good, to describe it, it is pretty much just like beef but leaner. so yeah that was my experience yesterday.
Our one investigator Diane is doing really good. We have committed her to baptism for July 23rd and she has come to church the past 2 weeks which is really good, but she is a really funny lady, she was telling us about how 15 years ago when she lived in utah before that she wouldn't have accepted the missionaries, but now that she has been pondering about her life and stuff that she has thought about taking this step towards following christ towards baptism, but anyways we told her that 15 years ago we wouldn't have even taught her! but also she has a mouth like a sailor and she was telling us about how her sister-in-law stole some jewelry from wal mart when she was in texas and i am pretty sure that she said the word sh*t about 20 times and it was really funny.
We have also started to teach this guy named Andres. who is a really cool kid. he is 18 and he is living with this one really sweet family in Willard, anyways he comes from west valley city, and yes he is pretty much a mexican gangsta. he has like a bunch of tattoo's but he is a really nice kid, when he was living in west valley he pretty much was doing stuff in a grand theft auto game. but he went to juvy and when he was in juvy he turned his life towards god and started coming to church and when he got out he needed a family to live with as a part of his juvy program and he was playing soccer at box elder high at the time and one of the moms who would give him a ride to and from practice from the juvenile detention facility let him live at their home and he is living at their home but anyways he has accepted a date for july 30th to be baptized and he is a really awesome kid.
Also we have another baptism hopefully happening this saturday hopefully. her name is Alisha, but she might be a welfare case and so hopefully she passes her interview because the interview has to do alot with if you have a testimony or not, but we really tried to see if she was just going to join the church for welfare but she pretty much has a testimony of the church, but the bishop thinks otherwise, but anyways that was my week, hope you guys have a fun one.
