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
