So first off Joe got baptized this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was so awesome! He is such a great guy! his baptism went great and was super fun. Afterwards we were changing and he said that he felt new. Then when we went back into the chapel he was asked to bear his testimony. He got up and he said "PRAISE THE LORDS CHURCH" pretty loudly and looked at all of us then he said it again "PRAISEEEEE THE LORDS CHURCH" and we all were just sitting there confused and he said "man are there no believers in this room? when i say praise the lords church i expect a amen!" then he said it again "PRAISE THE LORDS CHURCH" and we all said amen haha all of the Asians were just totally lost! but anyways Joe went on to give a super powerful talk he talked about how we met him and how as he learned from us that his life changed he said we would be life long friends. He is such a great man. He is from Kenya! so that makes the story make a little more sense haha. also a little background on joe is he is never on time for anything! he is always super late haha. And so on Sunday he was supposed to be confirmed but he didnt show up until like half way through sacrament meeting so for the first 30 min we were just worrying haha. He came though and we confirmed him and gave him the gift of the Holy Ghost!
As far as the rest of the week goes not to much happened...... we had a couple awesome lessons with some new investigators and we are working hard. Lots of finding and what not im still losing weight and the weather is nice! We have no clue what to do for Pday haha everything in the city cost money and we barley have enough for food so we will probably just play some sports again or something.
Oh some important things..... i found a piccachu one'sy last night in a closet haha it was a little small on me though.
Life is great missions are awesome!!!!!!!!
A update on dawn...... So when we were meeting with her she had 2 weeks off from work but she started work again and she just works like crazy!!!!! so we havent seen her in a while we text and call though and stay in contact. She reads the Book of Mormon everyday and prays and reads conference talks and is loving it she knows it is all true and wants to be baptized so bad. We just have to have her come to church. She is trying to find a way to make it happen! she is still doing awesome!
ummmmmmmmm oh ya we had a christmas in july party since it is winter here! it was fun we did a gift exchange and all that, they call it a chris-kringle here instead of a white elephant.
LOve you all
