im feeling pretty sick right now. ive got a head cold from straight from the devil. But that's not going to keep me down, because we had a great weekend! I was privileged enough to baptize both sakina and Sharon. its very humbling to do the actual baptizing because that's the moment where these peoples' emotions and faith are at their highest, and as the baptizer you get to be closest to them at that special moment. sakina and sharon are wonderful wonderful people and it was so great to see their excitement. I hope I get to be their friend for a long time.
transfers are a week away, we're expecting elder till to get sent to a new area and i'll get a new companion. but as always, we'll have to wait and see. i'll let you know next week!
also this week, president and sister black go home and we get to meet our new mission president. we're having a meeting with the WHOLE mission to meet president and sister ahlander on Friday. should be exciting!
hopefully all is well with all of you. remember, God is good!

I cant believe we're already half way through june. time is flying. and life is going good!
this past week was full of finishing up exchanges with the district. (I have to do it once a transfer with every elder in the district, so that's 5 times a transfer) it's kind of fun to go to the other areas and see what they have going on. it also means I miss half the things that are going on in my ward. turns out my presence isn't necessary though, because we had a great week in the ward. we had a combined lesson with Brian and Claudia and a couple of members in the ward. they discussed some of their reservations and the questions that they have. the lesson went really well. hopefully it helps them both progress.
the biggest thing we spent our time on last week was getting Sakina and Sharon ready for their baptism. They are doing great! and are both going to be baptized on Saturday!
President and Sister Black go home in a week and a half, and then we will welcome in President and Sister Ahlander. its weird to say goodbye to the Blacks. they have been here the whole time I have, and I wont have very much time to get to know the Ahlanders.
Its like all my missionary friends are growing up!
Hopefully all is going well! it's going greatful here :)
