NOTE: 1 NEW PICTURE! CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO THE RIGHT TO VIEW THE PICTURE ALBUM.

Last week was wonderful, but I expect this next week will be a little bittersweet.

We had several great lessons and many good visits and lessons with our investigators and less actives. This week, we're baptizing two of our investigators, Shawna and LJ, which is wonderful. They are just wonderful people who are really progressing. The bad part is that we have to find people to replace them. This isn't a last minute thing, we've known these people are going all the way and have been searching for more people to teach, but it's hard to replace those golden investigators who want nothing more than to learn more about the gospel.

Elder Clark is starting to think more about home, but he's not getting trunky (thinking of home so much that he doesn't want to work anymore), if anything he's starting to work harder. Sometimes I say to him, "Okay, it’s getting late, and we need to start heading back now..." but then he wants to go visit that one last door or talk to that last person. He has an incredible work ethic and that's a good thing

Everything else is going good. We've got a couple of families (soon to be, they need to get married) we're teaching and we have some solid people that are progressing. I even came across a couple of deaf people the other day but they weren't interested in the slightest. Oh well. We're in Mesa Branch's area anyways, we don't want them to have all the ASL baptisms ;)

Have a wonderful week!
