"WHY?!? I know it's true!"

This week has been very busy, but it's been good.  Four individuals we've been working with for awhile (ranging from 8 months, off and on, to... like 2 weeks) were baptized this weekend.  :) 

  The lady we had been teaching for the shortest amount of time, Annika, is one of the most solid people I've taught my whole mission.  To be perfectly honest, we barely even had to teach her.  Her mom and daughter are both LDS, and they've been teaching her for a long time.  She approached us on the street because she wanted her own Book of Mormon.  She already new 85% of the lessons we have.  I've also never seen anyone so impatient to be baptized.  We explained to her like a billion times that people are supposed to go to church a couple times before their baptism.  She was like "WHY?!? I know it's true!"
Her mom flew in from Oregon see her baptism, her step-father baptized her. :)  

The baptisms were all great, but I'm absolutely exhausted.

I don't really know how I'm almost out of time.  Writing about my week is really hard, I just get lost in thought.

Doing this email thing is clearly not my strong point.    That's ok, I can repent and try again next week!
