1 week til mothers day!!

I don't really have much to say this week, seeing as how next week is mothers day, I'm just excited to call home.

We were supposed to have a baptism this past Saturday but it got pushed back to next Saturday. The only reason being that she has family getting baptised in another ward next weekend and she wanted to be baptised with them. So we're really excited for that. Plus the bonus is that we don't have to set it all up. BUT, Brother McGaughey called us last night and told us that he wanted to baptise his son Tayzah this Saturday. So we now have a baptism Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon. So that should be a pretty good day. It was funny when brother McGaughey was talking to me though because he mentioned that Bishop Snow asked him if he had started thinking about a date to baptise his son and he said he wanted to do it before May 15th because that's when I'll probably be out of this area for reals this time. I'm super excited to get to see him baptise Tayzah though. That's one thing when I first came into this area about 6 months ago that I told myself I wanted to see. The McGaugheys start coming back to church and Jeremy baptise his son. And it's happening! Hooray!

We had Zone Coference on Thursday and the Assistants taught us this lesson from Luke Ch. 5 when the fishermen are cleaning their nets and then Christ comes and tells them to cast their nets one more time and so they do and they catch so many fish that their nets break. But the thing we were supposed to get from it was that they were cleaning their nets, in other words finishing up their day, and Christ told them to just cast their nets one more time. So on Friday when Elder Ulas and I were on an exchange we were biking and we were pretty far from the flat, but then we were biking back for lunch and stopped for some air in the tires and while we were doing that, we got a phone call to go visit a referral that was so far away, it was actually on a road we had just been on. We could've just gone in for lunch and forgot about the referral, but then we remembered the story from Luke 5. So we casted our nets again, but the guy wasn't home, but it's the thought that counts! It was just a big faith builder for me, even though he wasn't home, we were still being tested.

2 more weeks til transfers!

Love you all!
