Week # 51 Oh the Fan!

 Hi Mom,
     This week was super cool, we baptized Bianca!  She's 14 and was a refferal from a member.  Teaching her was super cool as she accepted all of the commandments and has made a commitment to live them.  Bianca is a great example to the other youth in the ward and to me.  She is a very strong individual and a very sweet spirit.  She is the only member in her family.   We had 2 investigators at the baptism too. 
     We have a baptism lined up this week, with Adriele, she super chill.  We will teach her tonight in a family home evening and at a family's house.  Please pray that she can be baptized this week.

     This week was good, it rained a ton, which we were needing.  We watched General Conference at the Bishop's house and he has a projector so it was cool.  We watch it via the internet, the chapel doesn't have satellite.  I really like Elder Durant's talk - - Ponderize and the challenge he put out with the one verse per week - -  which me and my companion have already started doing.   I also liked Elder Russell M. Nelson's talk on Women.   That story he shared about him and his wife  - - when he couldn't save the kids life and his wife helped him through it when he wanted to quit.  I love that one!  I don't know  if you saw, but Elder Costa spoke in  Sunday afternoon session.  Elder Costa visited our mission - - he is suuuper cool!  He spoke about the Sacrament.  Conference was good - -  nothing beats sitting down for 4 hours with a fan on you - - ha - -ha!
Love you all. Tchau.   Oh, I need a new alarm clock, mine broke - - one that uses electricity.  Mahalo Mama!
