Okay this will probably be my general email since I'm responding a lot to your questions in this already haha.
So things have been pretty good! This week went by pretty fast and we had a good end to this week. We did a lot of tracting but not even half of it was in our  area. This was the last week of the transfer and elder Falatea and I are staying together. We did a lot of blitzing in other areas because the other areas are having a hard time right now for some reason. We blitzed the Creswell area with a couple of elders from the zone. We got some new investigators and we blitzed elder Johnson and Bushmans area and got a new investigator so it went pretty well.
So for the exciting part of the email, Darryl got baptized on Saturday!! It was so awesome. It was a cool experience to see him get baptized and have a first time with a baptism on my mission. He was super excited. After he got baptized and dressed again, he walked out and spoke at the front for a little and said, "This is the proudest moment of my life besides my family!" It was freakin great. Yesterday we stood in on the confirmation circle and that was super cool too!
All of our investigators seem to be doing super well. Shawn is doing good again and Marie is doing awesome and the rest of them all seem to be doing super well!
I get to talk to president fairly often since I'm in Eugene like 15 minutes away from the mission home and I have had two interviews already but I haven't gotten the one he is talking about I think.
It is awesome to hear how people in the ward are doing and tell them all that I said I miss and love them. I got the Mcgraws email but I haven't gone through any of my other mail yet so I will get to it in a few minutes! I know that relief society president is going to be super cool for you even though you liked teaching! Just wait for it haha! That is big and I am super excited because with your calling our family will be blessed, with dads calling our family will be blessed and with mine you guys will be blessed too. It's kinda weird because I've never felt really spiritual before but now that I'm on a mission I say all sorts of weird stuff like that haha
The news about Joel is awful. I really hope he gets better and I will be praying for him! That has happened to one of the elders in our mission too. He will pull through and everything will be alright for him, I know it.
This next transfer is going to be awesome, I can already tell! Tell everyone I love and miss them! Love you!
