Hey There Family!

April 17, 2011

Sorry these past few weeks have been so scanty on family emails, I've had lots to do and needed to email fast. How is everyone? I miss you all. This past week was really great! Saturday and Sunday was conference, we watch it a week after everyone else. Wasn't it just amazing this year?

Monday was a fairly normal p-day, nothing particularly exciting. The only interesting bit was that the water pump decided to stop working properly. This has resulted in a week of the water randomly deciding not to work for hours at a time.

Tuesday was a long day in Pavia, a section of our area that is really progressing. We are teaching several families and they are all really interested. This is also where sister Jennifer lives, one of my favorite investigators just because she loves the gospel so much. Unfortunately she hasn't yet been baptized. She's having a lot of trouble getting a copy of her birth certificate, which she needs to get married to the man she's living with.

Wednesday was interviews with the mission president. These are fun just because I get to feel like I'm special for half an hour!

Thursday was really fun because we found two more full families to teach. Both of them had been taught earlier, but in the case of one it was just one daughter that was taught- the rest of the family now joined. In the case of the other, the previous lesson was really short. On Thursday we committed this family to baptism! Both have the last name Janas, so it's going to be fun to keep them straight.

Friday was really similar to Tuesday, another day in Pavia!

Saturday consisted of a lot of walking. We had 6 lessons planned, but only taught 4, and more interestingly only one of those 4 were planned. the others were all new investigators.

Sunday was church again, then more teaching. We went home early because I ended up with a really bad headache and felt too sick to speak Hiligaynon. I ended up going to sleep almost as soon as we got home. The headache is gone now though- so all is well!
