This week was great because we were able to get Nancy baptized. Wednesday we went on exchanges so I was with an elder from another area and we went to her house and taught her the last lesson. Then the next day our district leader was able to go over and give her the baptismal interview, she passed and said she was ready to go. We picked her up Saturday morning and brought her to the church. Her husband baptized her, but he is like 75 years old so I had to get in the font and help lift her back out of the water after he put her under. Then on Sunday Elder Post confirmed her.

Another crazy story from this week happened when it was raining really hard and we were walking to one of our appointments. We were on the sidewalk when this scary looking blue van pulled over and told us to get in. We looked at the people inside and we decided to get in. They said they were going to take us to their house. Eventually we found out that they were members of the Spanish branch that we have in our area and they fed us a lot of food and then drove us to our appointment. 
We also went tracting and met this lady that just got baptized into the baptist church but said we could come over. We set an appointment for a couple days later. The day we were going to go over she texted us said her husband was not happy about us coming over. The words she used was "it could be a hostile situation if you come over". So, sadly we were not able to go over and teach her. That was pretty much my week.

We had zone training meeting on Tuesday and those are about 5 hours long so it takes up a good part of the day. President started a new program that helps guide what you do during study time.

Zone meeting. Elder Kimball is right behind Sister Harding.  She puts all of the pictures on facebook, and it's funny because in most of them, the missionaries are eating!

The zone.  Max has his head poking up in the back, to the left of center.

There he is again, behind the elder in the blue tie

This week we spent some time trying to find Sherron (the lady they were going to put the washing machine in for) but have not been able to find her. We also spent a lot of time driving around with Byron to find lost sheep in our ward. These are people that have not come to church in a very long time and the bishop is not even sure if they live there still. So we go out and see if they live there and if they do if they are interested in having home teachers. We also helped Nancy move on Friday and hardly and people showed up so it took 7 hours to pack up, drive to her new apartment, and then unload. We also tracted alot and that was about it.
All our investigators are kind of disappearing for some reason so that hasn't been good. 

Today I think we are just playing basketball again. He's (Elder Post) good his knees still bother him a lot. I think I got the package on Monday so it was pretty fast. I've been eating all the stuff in it. 

It's been kind of cold and rainy here too. I have a stack of people I need to write letters too from the ward and family. Ill also get to writing the kids back. We are about to head out so talk to you next week.
