the baptism on saturday went really well. thanks for asking it was actually a little funny too. but anyways so i baptized chris and then the next baptism, his name was michael and he is a little afraid of water because has like really bad ears and so when he goes under water goes into his ears really easily and so whenever he was baptized he would always jerk up and so it actually took 5 times to baptize him and his sister, cyndi, was baptized by my companion, elder behrmann and he is honestly not the best baptizer so he whenever he would try to get her down he wouldn't get her all the way down and so he tried 4 times and then he gave up and told me to do it so i went ahead and baptized her and then her younger sister crystal i baptized her also but it was a really good service and the next day on sunday we had them confirmed and so that was really awesome. and also chris and micheal were give the aaronic priesthood later in the day so now they are priests. but it was really aewsome teaching them and it was a great oppourtunity to baptize them.

but things are going really good out here. yesterday we actually helped some old people play bingo because we are teaching this one guy named sam, who is not going to get baptized until January, but it was really funny becuase we got a couple of missionaries in our zone to help and this old lady that i was helping kept on falling asleep and i am pretty sure that she had Alzheimers because she kept on forgetting if we were playing bingo but i pretty much played bingo for her, but anyways after wards she tried to get up and was like can you help me stand up?? so i had grab somebody to come help her. but anyways things are also going good, we have started to teach this guy named C.G. and he is a typical grease monkey and works on cars all day but anyways he is planning on being baptized on the 3rd of december, but i am really happy in this area, i really like clearfield when at first i thought that i would hate it, especially with the small apartment and all.
