Time is really speeding up. Well welcome to the world baby Lindsey. I'm disappointed it's not Sally. But oh well. Yeah for a new baby! Since I will have a lot of time when I get home, I will be the only one who gets to hold all of the new babies that will be around! Yeah. I got those nice, up close pictures of her. I'm not sure if she looks like a Galloway or not. She'll have to open her eyes for me to see. Congratulations! Well, we taught a lot of lessons this week, but sure didn't get many new investigators out of it. Oh well! We still worked hard. We also postponed our baptisms. Maybe by then we'll have a couple of more people to add to the baptismal program that day. There aren't many investigator updates to give. No one is really progressing any many than the week before. This week we're going to give a baptismal commitment to basically all of our investigators. So from that we'll be able to see who really gets to have our attention for the next couple of weeks. Our district leader has really been trying hard to work with the bishop and our ward mission leader, in order to get them to really get stuff going. They all have the desire, but it wasn't happening. But I think it’s going to start happening; the whole ward council is going to be much more involved in missionary work and we have a bunch of members coming to appointments with us this week. Hopefully our investigators are really there! We're all also going to ward council now so that's helpful. Before it was just the District Leader and his companion. We really have an amazing ward, and an amazing bishop. He came with us to an appointment last week, and the investigators weren't there, so we took him to visit a less active we've been visiting for 3 months and they were a little surprised we showed up with him, but he ended up giving them both blessings and had a good talk, and they actually came to church this Sunday for the first time in months. I definitely respect the bishop now a lot more than before. What else? Not sure. The weather is heating up and I'm starting to remember how hot and sweaty the fall was and I'm looking forward to the rest of my mission being hot. Yeah! I'm excited for conference this weekend; it will be fantastic to hear some new revelation! Ha ha, just kidding. I'm also looking forward to hearing the apostle voice-overs in Spanish. That should be great! I'm grateful that we can actually watch conference here and that it's at a normal time. The blessings of being stateside I guess! Well everything is still going really well and I'm really enjoying being companions with Sister Lewis and the Hispanic people are wonderful! I don't think I'm growing up at all, but I love being here! Love you all! Have a beautiful week!
Emily and her MTC companion
