well my birthday has come and past. this past week has been a really good one! we have had a very busy week here in samala. first off tuesday we started off with a marrige! 1st one in the mission. that was really an interesting expìrence. and it was very nice to see our ward welcome them into the ward. the bishop bought a bunch of presents for the family and distrubuted them to the members and they gave them to the family. they felt the wards love in this.
well my birthday. started off by waking up and getting ready for the weekly planning meeting. me and my comp planned then went to the store to buy some food. after that we went home. there was still no power so we couldnt shower or do anything really. that was our first challenge for us here. one of the members was giving us options for where we could baptize the people... a river near by the stake center or a pool in a local hotel. well we called the bishop and he told us that he would steal the generator of the stake center so that we could use our building.... close to baptizing in a river. but it would be a sucky atmosphere for the people... so anyways we left to pick up two of our baptisms... the sister in law told us that she wasn´t there and that the day before our investagtor told her mom she was getting baptized and she freaked. she took her to a ´´spirutual circle´´ to clense here.. well that so called spritual circle is a witchcraft organization... we havent been able to get back into her house or talk to her. after that we left for the church to fill the font and then waited for our other investigators... there we waited and waited. eventually our family came! and our other one too. was really cool we didnt get our 9 but we got six...
and now your woundering why soap for the subject... well one of the familys for my birthday gave me a present.. i felt it up thinking i was a pro at feeling presents for all the times laying under the christmas tree... well i thought it was chocolate. no... was not. i opened the box all excited for candy and no... was a 3pack of soap... i know in the states that means i smell.. but here what does it mean??? well i dont know i probably do smell...
that night me and my comp borrowed the keys from the bishop and made some cookies in the church since we dont have an oven.. they were soo good. so if you have the chance to feel free to send me the cookies or muffin packs that only need water or an egg!
as for now my week have been going by really good it amazes me that i am already half way done with the change.. time is flying here. its amazing and im enjoying it! how is everything going at home? everything the same... how is the sports life going? i herd there is an up roar about jimmer in provo...
