Week #71 Sorry - - Super Busy!

Hey!, 
     I got your box mom, so I'm waiting on the other shoe right now  - - lol. (Our Elder needed new P-Day shoes, have to mail them in separate boxes, one has been delivered!) Sorry I didn't write last week we were super busy!  We had to reorganize the transfer board at President's house and we helped one of our investigators move. 
     Speaking of investigators - - we have a baptism!!!!!!!!!!  He he  - - this coming Saturday, his name is Gabriel.  He is 20 years old and super chill - - he's actually a boxer!  He was found knocking doors by some Elders like a couple months ago. Then he just stopped taking the lessons and stop going to church  - - so they dropped him.  They kept him in the area book, so a week an half ago we decided to pass by and see if we could reignite this dude.  We taught him now he has a date marked and has gone to church with us twice!  He will be going again tomorrow.  The lessons that we have had with him have been super cool, he really opened up and is really progressing.  
     We have transfers this Tuesday so it's been really busy around here, all the plane tickets are bought and ready to go for the people that are going home.  I think that's the worst part about being Secretary - -  all the people that are going home stay at the staff house (where we live) their last weekend on the mission.  IDK just everyone's all crazy and ready to go home.  We wake up  at 2 in the morning Sunday night to help them get the shuttle to the airport and you see everyone leaving and crying. It just stinks because after all that we have to go back to work - - Lol.  This transfer we have 11 missionaries coming: 6 Sisters and 5 Elders, 2  American Sisters 2 Hispanics. 
     Sorry I don't have pics this week, I left my memory card at the house :/  but  I love you guyz!!  tchau.  Elder Akina
