Hey there, hope your week has been pretty good, this week was pretty good for ourselves. Well, kind of, the numbers are pretty bad and the week wasn't the best but there were a few highlights. Jennah and Jodeci were baptized this weekend so that was nice to be a part of. Had to play the piano in the programme which was terrible, just struggled with the melody to "I Am A Child of God" and "Count Your Blessings"; but that is alright I'm not here to play the piano at baptisms. Had to then scramble around trying to get all of the signatures for the baptism record forms, but it has all worked out now, so we're good.

Other than that, we really didn't do too much this week. Tried to visit our other investigators, the only referrals we get  turn out to be less-active members and then just working on our teaching. Ups and downs in it, with some translating necessary most of the time but a lesson is a lesson.

Not really too much else to say this week, nothing really happened, just a few growlings along the way by unhappy members in the ward with the missionary work, but that's just the other half of it all. I kinda feel bad but these members really just want to feed us, but we really don't have time for just a feed. If all we needed was a feed my companion would drag me to KFC everyday (sunday included) for dinner. So trying to motivate the members that we need more than a feed! But we'll see if it happens. As it says in a talk given by President Hinckley in 1978(?) "One of the greatest tragedies in this world is men of high aim and low achievement" (That was part of one of the growlings that I got this week). Food for thought or something like that. Not enough time in the day on P-days. Have a good one!
