Thanks for your email Mom, it is always fun for me to hear about the little things that go on in your lives. I don't have any of that here. You mentioned that President Kaopua spoke in your conference, what is his calling now? I seem to forget a lot of the details of home while on the mission. I have almost put away completely thoughts of home while here. It helps you to not get trunky.
Our baptism on Saturday went great! Kristy is the girlfriend of Allen, one of the more active members of the ward. His Father is the first counselor in the temple presidency here. They put on quite a show and a lot of people attended. Our recent converts who were baptized just the week before, Flor and Delia, brought their investigator friend, who we have had a hard time teaching because of schedules and such, and she had a great time at the baptism. They walked there as 3 families with seven kids running around. The investigator felt the spirit tell her to keep investigating, praying and reading, and then to apply what she learned. She is progressing now, we are just working on the husband. Flor has read up to Alma 20 in the Book of Mormon. He just started a month and a half ago. Delia is now in 2 Nephi. They are doing great. Flor will receive the Aaronic priesthood on Sunday.
This Friday is transfer day and we found out today that neither of us will be transferring. We get to focus on Capitol together for at least one more transfer.
I am glad you got my pictures. I’ll have at least another 4 gigs when I return home. I have been taking a lot of pictures lately.
Sure love you all. Take care,
Elder Schenk
