Hey everyone. How's memorial day? I'm glad the internet is working today. Last week I couldn't read/send anything. Anyway the last two weeks have been very busy for us. We had baptisms the last two saturdays. First was Sarah and her son Thompson. Then this last Saturday was Gifty and Anita. Elder Kivaya has been teaching all these people for a super long time, and I think he's really happy they have finally been baptized. Gifty and Anita were both miracles. Gifty came to church for the first time since I've been in Oda 3 sundays ago just out of the blue. Then Anita after rejecting a baptismal date last week wednesday told us last week saturday to add her name to the list. It was really cool. Anita's younger brother did the baptisms. The last two weeks were also the last two weeks of the transfer. The last two weeks of the transfer are kind of like the redzone of the mission. Everyone who is behind in their goals (like us) is struggling and praying for those two weeks. One of our candidates, after begging for baptism and complaining about it for months, was finally prepared with her twin sons for saturday, but unfortunately for some reason she's decided to avoid us and we couldn't get the interview accomplished, and she didn't show up to the baptism or church on sunday. Well whenever she has the desire we'll sacrifice and prepare her again. Well I guess this is the rainy season. And soon to be world cup season. So the work here may slow a bit. Here no one likes to do anything or go anywhere when it is raining. On saturday it rained at like 3:30-4:00 and the baptism was at 5:00. We started at 5:30 and in total there were I think 12 people around. Anyway I took some time to write you guys letters during some rain. I'll send them at zone conference this Saturday. Well I love you guys. Happy birthday Spencer! Happy birthday Dad! Happy Memorial Day everyone! Congrats on finishing another school year, Talk to you later.
