Hello everyone!
This week was a good week, but frustrating at the same time. We had planned four baptisms for the 28th, but two of them basically decided that they want to stay at their old church, but we will see!
So funny story from this week is that our washing machine broke.. Which actually isn't funny at all because that means that A) I have to wash clothes my hand or B) I wear dirty clothes. I'm not one to be partial to one or the other so I decided that the best thing to do was to have a nice mixture of the two! :) Mom, aren't you so proud of me?! But you can't do anything about it since I live halfway around the world :) but we got it fixed on Saturday, so I'm so grateful for that.
I have good news regarding the package.. It arrived last Monday! (October 15) and it was really nice to see Dad's signature on the receipt and eat the beef jerky. Beef is expensive here and so we don't get it that often. I love Skittles and Starbursts and the Reese's Pieces were a nice addition. However, I did not enjoy seeing the shorts and shirt :) I think that I may send that home with Elder Taylor's package home because I have enough clothes to manage and not a ton of room or weight in my suitcase to spare. We don't even wear "normal" clothes enough as it is.
Like I said, we have a couple who is being baptized this Sunday and they are awesome! I love that family. They are dentists and they are just super humble and willing to change. It is so nice to teach them. They want to visit America one day and want to visit me. I love them. We are running out of people to teach though, which is really difficult and not a good thing since we are called to teach the gospel, but if we don't have anyone to teach, I'm just on a long vacation here. We already met the goal for baptisms for the year for the branch, so maybe we will just kick back and wait until January 1 to start trying again.. ;) Just kidding!
Thanks for all the love and support!
Love,
Elder Head
