Hey Everybody,

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there! I hope that you all had a spectacular Mother's Day. Shout out to my mama for being the best mom ever! It was nice to Skype home and say “What Up?”

This has been a little bit of a slower week.  We continue to find new people to teach and have great lessons with them but getting a return appointment seems to almost be impossible.  Every time we go back for an appointment they are not home.  We had quite a few appointments fall through this week and one of the only investigators that we did have, we had to drop because she was not keeping commitments.  This gives us a good opportunity this week to go find some people who will!

There was another baptism in the ward this week of a kid that we had been working with named Joshua.  His dad was actually called as our new ward mission leader last week which we are super excited about.

The weather this week has been outstanding! Sunny and warm every single day.  We haven’t had that kind of weather since, I don’t even remember when.  Probably before my mission! Haha.

That’s basically it this week.  We are going to go enjoy the weather now and you all do the same.  Have a baller week!
