January 24, 2011-Email & Pics



Hey Everybody!How are you doing this week? This was a great week! We actually hadthe baptism yesterday after a lot of stress and planning it actuallyhappened. The only thing is that it was another super small andbasically secret baptism. The only people there was us, our branchpresident and there family. So it was interesting but its over withnow and they are on the right path. The only bad part about the wholething was that the font took forever to fill up so by the time we hadto do it it was not even up to my knees... so it was a good thing thatthey were both really small. i got them both down and didn't have todo it a second time which was good. Other then that we haven't hadmuch else going on. we have another 2 baptisms coming up next month.We taught the refferal that we got from a member in blanchard and shepretty much was begging us to get baptized. Thats a first for me! Butif shes ready then shes ready she reads a couple of hours everynightfrom the book of mormon and the pamplets that we left. So she isdoing really well. I'm pretty excited this week for the 4 day meeting.Its going to be a blast. I even get to stay with elder mcgill inmoore! He was one of my favorite companions. I think that transfer wasthe most fun on my mission. It sounds like you guys are doing well.its been a little chilly this week and then kind of warm. It can'tdecide if it wants to be winter or not. BUT we did get a 1/8 of aninch of snow on thursday. not even enough to cover the grass but thatsall i have seen! I'm enjoying the weather right now but that meansthis summer is going to be super hot, and i'm not looking forward tothat at all! Hopefully i'll be in a car for the heat of the summerthis time. Transfers are the 16th. There not to hard to figureout its every 6 weeks so after that it will be march 30. Thats how iknow when i will be going home. you don't leave till transfers andtransfers will be on the 7th so that means i will be flying home onthe 8th. Thats how they have been doing it. You actually serve a 2year and 5 day mission so yeah thats the big day. Its really weirdthinking that its only 10 months away. It feels like it was justyesterday that i was only out for 6 months or 9 months. Its crazy howtime has been flying. Heres a picture of the 2 girls i baptized andone with me and them. you can tell how fun it was to baptized themsince they were so small. I'll let y'all know next week about themeeting! Thanks for everything!
Love y'all!Elder Downs
