hey everyone!
this week has probably been one of the craziest weeks of my life! but its been great. we had zone conference this week too which was awesome. i was so nice to have and get that spiritual boost to finish off the transfer.
well tuesday was crazy i was on exchanges with the zone leader and we were going to a lesson with our on date rob ( who was baptized this last friday!!) but on our way there i got pooped on by a bird!! it was pretty gross but pretty funny. but after i cleaned my self off we went to robs house and he wasnt home! he was gone so i was kind of freaking out because he was supposed to get baptised in like four days and if he wasnt there it was kinda scarry cause no one knew where he was. and the week before a baptism is a very vital time cause satan usually works his hardest there. but he was baptised on friday and it was awesome! his baptism wasnt anounced really so we were scrambling to get people there and we didnt find speakers until like the night before and one canceled so i ended up giving a talk at the baptism. it was a great servie, we even sang acappella because we couldnt find a pianist! it was good tough.
oh and i got to see my friend from school though! sam staples lived on my floor at byu and his older brother is my eq president so he brought him to the baptism. it was so cool to see him again.
we also found three new investigators this week and we are so excited they are so ready for the gospel. they have been prepared and searching. it is a mom and her two sons and they will definately be getting baptised soon!
also on sunday i had like the grossest thing ever happen to me( and yes it was way worse than the bird poop) we got picked up for our dinner appointment and this guy called us while he was on his way to pick us up and asked if we were allergic to dogs cause his was in his car. we said no thinking it was no big deal but we didnt realize that his dog basicly lived in the car! he pulled up in this little old honda hatchback thing with this giant fullgrown lab with its head out the back window. e aiken like ran to the car and jumped in the front seat so i got stuck in the backseat with "buckshot". the inside of that car was pure dog hair, it was floating through the air and the dog was laying all over me and they he would stick his head out the window and wag his tail which would then hit me in the face! i couldnt get out of the car fast enough. my suit is now coverend in dog hair and reaks of nasty dirty dog. so its currently in the dry cleaners, hopefully that will work!
but it was a good week though just crazy and im glad i dont smell like a dog any more either!
i hope you all have a great week. give hank the lovins for me
love you

Issaquah 1st Week 4
hey everyone!
this last week has been great! just really stressfull.
we baptised natalie and josh this last week and it was awesome! natalie is a single mom and josh is her 10 year old son. they are great. we had their baptism at 8 friday night because they were busy all weekend but thankfully we still had a great turn out. everyone loved it. it was such a cool thing to see them baptised together. josh is an amazing little kid he really has a special spirit around him, im so excited to see him in the futute and see the great things he will do! i definately think that he is going to be a great leader in the church someday. im so ecited to see him grow up.
also sunday morning we got a call from pres larkin and elder aikens dad had a heart attack that morning. but thankfully it was only a mild one so he is fine but he should be out of the hospital today. so sunday was a really stressfull day because of that and then we had two confirmations. but its all good now everything should be fine with him which is good. ( i forgot to tell you guys about this in my call yesterday sorry)
oh our investigator , rob that we have been working with who is ondate for the next weekend, we might move his baptis up to this saturday. we really think he is ready and holding it off isnt the best thing. so we might be baptising someone this weekend too! it will be great.
now we just have to find some more people to teach cause now we have like one investigator left so we have to do some serious finding, which is going to be fun! well i hope everyone has a great week there.
love you

ISSAQUAH 1ST WEEK 3
hey everyone!
well this last week was one of the longest weeks of my life! so much has happened i dont even know where to begin! first natalie and josh didnt get baptized they are on date for this friday now, and elder kicuchi of the 70 came to the mission!
we had a crazy week with natalie and josh though, wed she texted us and told us she couldnt get baptized, so we went over that night and we had such a powerfull lesson with her and spirit was so strong in that room. after that lesson she was so excited to get baptized and we moved her date up to friday instead of saturday!
then on thursday morning we got another text that said she still couldnt get baptised and she didnt want us over any more and she would call us when she was ready. we had to go over again and talk to her. but satan was working so hard on them i have neven seen him work so hard on some one before, but now she is on date for this friday and we are so excited for her. im excited for josh he is like 10 and he is such a cool kid. he has such a special spirit around him. im so excited for him.
elder kicuchi came to the mission and that was really cool. he said some really cool things to the mission and made some awesome promises about how we will be able to baptise 200 people a month by the end of the year if we are obedient. but it was really focused on what we can do better as a mission and how we can improve. but it was awesome it was so cool to be around someone like that!
oh tell grandma i had a good talk with sister larkin this morning and we both can wait until they get out here!
well i hope everyone has a great week
love you
