the news!

hello hello! thanks for all the emails :) do i say that every week? probably, but i mean it every week. so you've had a sneak peak of our week through pictures! also from the lack of pictures, you probably noticed O didn't get baptized. kind of a crazy long story. he's still awesome and i still think he'll be baptized soon...he just needs to get sundays off still. he was actually interviewed and it went really well. we were going to baptize him even without sundays off (since he was so ready and has been waiting so long) but then we found out he goes to his old pentacostal church every sunday night (because he's off work by then). now we don't have anything against the pentacostals, but it seemed kind of weird to baptize him and then have him be completely active in another church. we thought it would be difficult to help him progress. SO we will see. we're hoping he gets a job driving school busses before the new school year starts! this week, R didn't come to church, but sister Ndid! (the one from germany) i hope she had a good experience...the testimony meeting seemed to focus on the pioneers a lot since the youth had just gone on trek...that's kind of different for a new person so we'll see.

so yeah, that was the main stuff investigator-wise. but it was a busy week with meetings and such! zone conference was yesterday and it was wonderful! one surprising/kind of sad thing though. so every zone conference, all the missionaries who are leaving before the next one bear their testimonies. up until now, we've been having zone conferences every transfer, but now they're changing it to a quarterly thing. SO the next zone conference is in november and they called me up to give my little farewell testimony! i was shocked and very sad to realize it was my last one. but i was glad to have a chance to bear my testimony, and even more glad i'm staying an extra transfer :)

ok i need to send this off but i'll be on for another 5 or 10 minutes!

love you all!!!!!!
