Baptism Time!

Dear all,

So this past week was a pretty good week. We went on exchanges with the Kearney Elders in out District and we blitzed their area so we spent about two days out of our own area, but despite that we were still able to get a lot done.

Darryl is planning on getting baptized this Saturday, so we are very excited for that. His interview will be this Wednesday, so if he can get through that we should be golden! If we have to end up pushing it back a week or two, it should be fine, but we are planning on this Saturday the 25th. We are super excited!

Besides that things are pretty normal here in O'Neill. The work is slow, not a lot of receptive people, but we feel that through Darryl, the work will pick up a lot after his Baptism.

I love you all and hope everything is going well for you!

With tender love and care,
Ofa atu,

Dodged Another Transfer!

Dear all,

I dodged another transfer! If I can stay one last time after this, that'll officially mean I'll be a 3 area missionary! Wouldn't that be nice! But the pattern has been lately that missionaries get transferred to one last area for their last transfer, so if next transfer I'm no longer in O'Neill, don't be surprised.

As for this week, it was definitely bitter sweet. I'll started with the sad stuff. Turns out Brandon is no longer around. He went nuts and apparently destroyed a bunch of stuff and now is no longer living in the town where we used to teach him. Long story short, he stopped taking his medication and so he's gone off the deep end. I sure will miss him.

As for the good news! Darryl is progressing amazingly. He is still set for the 25th and this week we are going to talk to him about how realistic that date is and whether or not we need to push it back. He has received an answer thought that he should be baptized. So it's no longer a matter of if, but a matter of when. Pretty legit!

Besides that things are going good. This week should be really nice weather! Today has been awesome so far and the past two days haven't been below 30, so it's awesome! I'm lovin this weather!

I hope everyone is doing great! I love you all!

Frozen

So church was cancelled yesterday because of how cold it was. That kind of stunk, but it gave us a chance to recover from the day before where we were outside all day cutting wood. Let me tell you, by the end of the day I was not feeling very good. Most of my body was numb. Pretty cool. But not when you get your feeling back! Oh snap!

Transfers are here yet a game! Only one more after this one and after that it won't be a transfer for me. It'll be a transition.  D:

Well I hope everyone is doing legit. It's been a good transfer and I'm pretty sure I'll be staying here another, but we'll see what happens.

I love you all!

With tender love and care,
