Excerpts from Mom's email:
Hey Mom!
Wow so much has happened this week it is crazy!! Well I'll start with transfers. I am still in Grange haha, so that's easy. I think I am here one more transfer to finish Elder Tauti's training. He was super worried that I would be shifted out and that he would have to lead the area haha. I think you are right that I am here for a reason! No doubt about that! I am totally fine with staying here one more for many reasons. Now it just will be hard to leave at this point haha. Sent you a lot of videos and pics so hope you like those. Trying to do better with that.
Well there is so much idk what to start with. Well big news first. F... had his baptismal interview last Saturday and all green lights!! Super pumped for that! Not confirmed which day this week it will be, just needs to be arranged. He has been doing so well and when it came down to it, he just needed to pray for an answer! He fits in the ward so well and is probably one of the most converted and dedicated person I have ever taught! So grateful for him and his family!!!
We had a lot of really cool and interesting experiences this past week. One of them being F... and seeing the big text when he told us to arrange the interview! We also had a really good trade off this past week with the Zone Leaders! Elder Lautele is finishing his mission, so it was really good to spend a day with him one last time. He has been here since I arrived and has been an important leader to me! It is pretty funny, his trainee has no idea that he is leaving yet and he leaves tomorrow... He is from Italy and doesn't know English well, so when we talk about it he doesn't know what we mean. Kind of mean, but they are just running with it haha. We also had our district p-day last Monday, which was a really good time! Brother Gabehart took us crab fishing and we caught quite a few with the whole district there. Then we went to the chapel and had another sports night to finish off the day.
Well I know a lot happened, but don't have heaps of time today so I can't tell you it all... Just short stories about it all sorry not much detail.
Love you!!
Excerpts from Dad's email:
Hey Dad!
Well since I am messaging you I will get straight to the story to save time:). So we were following up with a few old potentials from before I was even here that I found in the records for the area. One of the guys we went to see is named G..... or gman is what he asked us to call him. So he is one of the most interesting blokes I have ever met. The funny thing was part of the twelve week program, my companion is supposed to lead out on "How to begin teaching and Restoration" lessons, so before we go in I tell him he can lead this one. When we go in I realize that was a mistake because this guy likes to talk... but hey I heard some pretty funny stories that had me cracking up laughing after. Pretty funny stuff. He has seen some crazy stuff like a demon coming out of his body when he flew here from America, seeing little gorilla men in the homes of beautiful blonde girls (he said always a beautiful blonde girl, so beautiful you couldn't believe apparently).
As for our new investigators, been going well, but most return appointments are this week so hopefully will see it go somewhere. Some are more solid then others, but two are awesome! Just busy schedules. Not much time this week so will just have to message you back and forth... sorry.
Love you!!!!
