Ramona Oaks: Baptism

You know what is funny?  I just sent her a letter right before I came to the library today! So consider it done!

I am super jealous about the family reunion! I'll be honest though... you guys missed out on an awesome baptism! hahaha

We finished up the Styx family (baptized March 16 a little over a month after I came out)  with the baptism of their 9 year old daughter.  It was so sweet to see the father perform his first priesthood ordinance.  And to have it be the baptism of his 9 daughter was awesome! I can't wait to see them get sealed in the temple in a year.  They are super solid and stories like them keep us missionaries going.

June 15th Baptism

We had an AMAZING week as well where I set my new record for lessons in a week (25). we usually shoot for 20 but hey, the more the merrier! Add that with the baptism and you could say it was one awesome week! :)

I got a boat load of emails today which was a nice surprise! Today had been kinda rough because not having a clean car finally caught up to us and we finally cleaned it today which took forever!  But good news is is that the ticket still hasn't come in so I am pretty sure nothing will happen... I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

So quick funny story! My companion had recently hiccuped and burped at the same time.  He thought it was the weirdest thing ever.  So we are having dinner with some of our members and he brings up the fact that this had happened... the only problem was the way he said it. He said, "So, I have been having some issues with the Hurps (hiccup burps) recently" not realizing that Hurps and Herps sound identical! After he had proclaimed his recent troubles, the room fell silent... that is until his trusty companion (me :D )  busted up into laughter completely embarrassing him! it was seriously one of the funniest things I think I have ever heard!

Anyway, I can't wait to hear from you all next week!
