Letter Deprivation

Hello, hello.
sorry i didn't write last week. i am back in business. this week was cool. some of the highlights were:

-jehovah's witnesses coming to our door
-cleaning out horse stables
-our cool investigator named frank
-getting everything ready for our baptism this week

one morning sister kellett and i were in our room studying and we saw the jehovah's witnesses outside of the window. they came and knocked on our door and we said, let's let the other sisters answer it. so they did. and it was funny. it was a very nice and friendly conversation. no contention. but it was about a forty minute discussion about the bible. it was just a funny humanizing moment for me. usually the JWs are like a competition or something. i mean they stole our sweet investigator norma from us. but it made me realize they're just people like me going door to door and hoping for people to be nice to them as well.
we started teaching this couple named roger and silvia. they are very nice. they never had any kids.. they're in their fifties now.. but they did have horses. we helped them clean out the stables on saturday. which basically meant raking and shoveling and moving big mounds of maneur. it was pretty fun though. it wasn't as dirty as i thought it would be. and we got to play with horses and goats. it was a nice change of scene. i feel like i could never own a horse though. so much work.
our cool investigator frank is awesome. he is 16. and he's like the funniest kid ever. but is super curious and willing to act on things. he loves reading the bible and always talks to his friends about it and brings it to school to read to them. but he plays football and stuff and makes it sound like he has lots of friends. so it's cool that he has the integrity to do that and not be afraid to talk to his friends about it. he's so rad. we'll tell him things, like about seminary and church activities and things and usually with investigators its like pulling teeth to get them to go to things but we'll just mention something and he's like,"yeah, i'll do it. i'll go." and he came to church this week and we didn't even have to look after him really he just went up and was introducing himself to people and it was awesome. we love him.
alfredo, our eternigator is getting baptized this week. we are pretty excited about it. there's not much else to say about him really. we're super excited for him. and. he has huge muscles? huge muscles. we will take pictures at his baptism. you'll all see.
not much else is new here. we're working hard trying to find awesome people and trying to love even the buttheads. sister kellett and i are working great together and having a lot of fun. we're hoping they won't split us up this transfer. we need everybody's positive thoughts and energies sent this way. :)
well that's all i've got from this part of the U.S... sure would be nice to here from more of you out there.
xoxo
