            This week has gone by with a lot of laughter for me. Like I have said- the mission is hard, but it’s the most joy that I’ve ever had in my life. I love my life right now! As for the work, we’ve been seeing a lot of miracles happen lately, there have been contacts that we have been getting, and the people already have the desire to change. When we teach them the gospel of Jesus Christ, they see that it’s the only way, and then they accept baptism without even thinking twice. I love these people here. Transfers are going to be happening in this next week or so. I will see if I stay and train, or if I go somewhere else. I hope I stay; I want to get to know this ward better. I love them very much already!

            Today we celebrated the birthday of two elders in our district. We had a BBQ for them. I’ve had meat sweats ever since this afternoon! I feel so fat! When I come home, we’re getting a gym membership!  

            I think that you would all be glad to know that the missionaries here have a choir program going on. We sing every weekend in a different stake. Surprisingly enough, even to myself, I sing in a quartet. I didn’t sign up for it; someone threw my name in because they heard me sing one day, but I actually enjoy it! A lot of my timidity has gone away. Missions really change a lot about a person. I’m still the same old Chrixtian, it’s just that God is getting rid of all the not so great things about me and helping me become a good person. I still have a long way to go, but little by little, I like the person I’m becoming. I can’t seem to get rid of my craziness though. I have too much phun making others laugh at my sake haha.

            The pictures I sent are of a family that I interviewed for their baptisms. I love those guys soo much. Their last name is "U." But at the end of the night, I told them all to make a phuni face for the picture, and they actually did it! Before I forget, the package still isn’t here yet! Anyway, that’s about it for this week! I wish I could send you all some of my crazy dancing videos, but they’re too big to send. So you will all have to wait! I love you all so much! Stay safe this week!
