This week went by oddly fast. This was the last week of the transfer so there has been a bit of packing and saying goodbyes for elder Baxter. We found out Saturday that I'm staying here as district leader again and I'm getting another missionary who has been out 3 months named elder Clark. I've already met him because he came out at the same time elder Nelson did so I'm pretty happy because he seems pretty cool. The craziest thing about this entire transfer is that the 8th ward elders who live like 5 minutes away from us are going to be elder Falatea (my trainer) elder Nelson (who I trained)! It's so sick! I'm going to be able to see them all the time which is awesome! So this transfer could be great.

I'm also really excited because this transfer is Thanksgiving, which means turkey bowl! And also Henry will be baptized! This last transfer was good because I was able to meet all the investigators and figure out who to focus on and how we could best help this area so this next transfer we are going to go hard in the work and get'er done. It's only a five week transfer because of Christmas but it will be good.

So for this past week, we were able to have a few pretty good lessons. Had my first lesson with a great family. They are super awesome. They are a young couple who are a less active and part member so I think it will be awesome to focus on them! 

Also we have continued to have lessons with Henry even though we have finished all the lessons twice haha but it is so awesome because he sends us texts almost daily talking about how excited he is to get baptized. So that will be so awesome to see this next week! 

Also taylie was baptized on Saturday in Utah! So that was cool, it was elder baxters first baptism so it was good to be with him during that. It's definitely not as exciting when it's in Utah but it's whatever haha. I will send pictures with her probably next week because they aren't home yet. 

Other than that the only other thing we did this week  was attend a conference with half the southern half of the mission on Thursday and it was pretty much like 5 hours of getting chastened real good haha. Like it's crazy, missionaries are usually like 18-20 year old kids and as soon as you become a missionary no one even sees you as that anymore, they all of a sudden think you're very responsible and a perfect person. Let me tell you, it's not true lol. Well anyway that's all for this week I think.
Stay Solid

 He said he didn't take any pictures this week so he just took a picture off the wall at the church and took a picture with it???
