Hey Family,


Well first things first I kind of really wish that I was there with everyone.  I'm glad everyone got to see each other again though and that everyone got home safely.  Thank you for the photos as well, it was nice to see everyone.

This week we unfortunately didn't get a baptism.  The "8 year old boy" that we were teaching ended up being 7.  He was going to be the last of the family to be baptized as well, but we'll just have to wait until October.  We almost witnessed a miracle as our baptism fell through though, we ran around all of Saturday to everyone we knew that could potentially be baptized.  We then found Alan who is 19 and also the last of his family to be baptized.  We all went to the visitor's center and we taught him and he accepted to be baptized, if...  God saved his brother.  We were super confused and he explained that his brother had depression.  We told him at least 20 different reasons why he needed to focus more on himself but that his heart was in the right place but he wouldn't budge.  He had his baptismal interview and passed and everything.  Just not the baptism.  But he'll be baptized soon enough.

Besides that it has been extraordinarily hot here.  It's been around low hundreds here and we were definitely feeling the heat.  Hopefully it cools down soon or someone's gonna pass out.  Also, still not a big fan of this whole zone leader life.

That's about it for me though.  Love you guys and hope things go well there.
