Last Day of February 2007

Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2007

Well its Wednesday and later today my new comp will be getting into town. i am in Eager which is 30 mins away from St.Johns serving with a another missionary until my new comp comes up from the Valley. so were both anxiously awaiting the arrival of them both. I'm still serving in St Johns probably for another 3 possible 4.5 months. and i love it! next transfer its looking like we will have 10 baptisms! PARTY! I'm thinking a lot about my new comp . but i have faith that Pres Buttars will send me a good one! fingers crossed though!

Well this week was a interesting one.. had some ups and downs... we traveled out of town to teach Robert and on the way back while i was driving (to get used to the area) we took a little detour in a dried up river bottom... note to everyone DONT try that! we got stuck in the sand.. for 3 HOURS!! digging us out with a window scrapper and sticks.. finally we had to
hike to the road and flag down a man to tow us out.. it was So funny! good life lesson. wont do that again. luckily it was during our travel and lunch time so we didn't waste more than about 20 mins actual proselyting time. it was SO funny!

We had a lot of good lessons this week too. but most importantly 2 baptisms! and i got to confirm Dollie a member on Sunday! it was So sweet! also a investigator who was up until this point kinda flaky has really turned around. she came to Dollies baptism and there i invited her to be baptized, and we set a date for her! I'm Way excited! she is starting to take it seriously now! also the fiance of the other lady we baptized on Saturday asked me to baptize him next month. so its looking like we'll have 2 or 3 baptisms on St. Patty's Day Ironic?? haha I'm looking forward to it!

Things have been interesting with Elder Jasper going home. we've been visiting people and saying goodbye for the past few days which really is hard. because it makes me think about home and things.. which isn't his fault but is hard when all u do all day is be around people who talk about home and future plans etc. so its hard to stay focused but its understandable because of the situation. but hes gone now so back to work! the work is going well! i love it! I'm dang excited about the transfer though! cant wait to get my comp and Do So much good work!

well i gotta fly. Love you all!
