Hey! Sorry I have been slacking, I have been just a little busy saving people. Ha Ha Jokes. But for real I have been crazy busy this week, we were able to teach 19 lessons! That's the most I have had on my mission so far! But we also got to see on of our investigators enter the waters of baptism on Saturday, which without a doubt is one of the most fulfilling moments in my life with the exception of when I got to confirm her a member of the church, the Spirit that was in that circle was the most intense I have ever felt before and being the baby that I am, I was just crying , really, I am surprised that anyone could understand me. Anyways, I am still alive so don't worry. I just thought you might want to know what my schedule is like here. At 6:30 we wake up, and we are supposed to be doing our morning exercise, but normally by the time we roll out of bed and say our prayers it's breakfast time, which normally means good old cold cereal, while my companion showers. Then when he is done we switch. After breakfast we have our study's until lunch. After lunch we start visiting all the people that we planned to visit the night before. Most of the time they are not home, but that's why we have back up plans for everyone, so for example, we probably write down 25-30 names, but we only normally only get into 3-5, but the really cool part about it is that most the time we end up teaching people that weren't on our list. Ha Ha, turns out the Lord just had us write down one name, so that we would run into someone else. Then we do that till dinner which is normally at a members home. Then it's back to work until 9pm. Then we plan for the next
day, which is what I have the least amount of motivation to do when I get home, but it's important so we do it. So yep that's about how my day goes, it's actually pretty fun, especially if you make it fun, which I feel like I am pretty good at
ha ha. Hope you are all doing well, thanks for all
the support and love.

Hey,
This week seems to be slower than last, but we are actually about the same number wise. I am doing really well. I really have learned so much its crazy! My Companion and I have really been great, I still have a few time sharing issues, but that's to be expected. I am having a lot of fun, our ward missionary has been teaching me a lot about
surfing, it's really cool, there are actually supposed to be 50 foot waves on Wednesday, and that's some serious waves! We actually have two investigators that have a baptism date now! Its way cool, one is Ashley, she is from Alabama and lives on the military base with her husband Mac, she is really cool, I think after she gets baptized , Mac will follow. The other one is Amber, her story is funny because both Elder Lee and I thought she was already a Mormon, she is 17 and has been going to church for 2 years, and she just
told us "hey I want to get baptized, do you think you could help with that?" Ha Ha. It was awesome. Well that's about it.
I love you.
