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.

Love
