Ha Ha Gotcha...ya!

Well.. today is Wednesday... and we have P-day... We had to change our p-day this week because we had interviews and training for the other district on Monday and a bunch of other stuff... so that is why I wasn't able to write... but... here it is now...
Well from the sounds of your letter, sounds like you are just chillin' having fun.... just vacationing it up and playin' around.... man it is really too bad that you didn't get to go down to Logan... I guess Elder Nielsens parents went and said it was awesome and all the missionaries that I served around were there... tant pis... sorry...too bad.. haha 
Well this week was pretty awesome...I really don't remember anything that I told you last week.. and I don't know ... because we didn't have p-day on Monday, it threw me off.. I don't remember what was this last week and what was the week before that... 
This week we had a baptism in the Ward... His name is Ayi Satchivi.. he is 28 and is from Togo ...he is the most humble guy and has a huge testimony already of the gospel... Elder Cabrera and Elder Wallace are the missionaries that taught him... His baptism was really spiritual.. and plus...Elder Cabrera asked Claire to give the talk on the Holy Ghost.. We went over to her house before the baptism just to see if she needed any help with it and she had it all prepared and gave us the talk right there... It was a pretty special experience just to hear here bear testimony and to see how much she really understood the Holy Ghost and the gospel... After her talk the Bishop got up and said .. I am very astonished by our Sister Claire who was baptized a couple of weeks ago and to see how fast she is progressing.. It was good... Her talk made her sound like she had been a member for a long time.... also she asked us about a calling in the Ward and what she needs to do .. she asked if she needed to see the Bishop about it or if she needed to wait for him to come to her.. we told her go to him, it's better.. so she did and now the Bishop is working on getting her a calling.. 
I do believe that I told you about Antonio... and well.. he is doing really awesome.... We saw him this week just right before the baptism.. and it was our fisrt time teaching him... and so we were just hoping to get to know him and see what he was feeling about when he is going to be ready for baptism... so we said the opening prayer and asked him if he had any questions... and he just opened up and told us about his interview with Pres. Brubaker and how he had felt scared by the law of tithing.. and the ''obligation'' of it.. but he helped him understand.. and he was reassurred... so .. then on Monday we taught him with the High Priest Group Leader and it was soo good.  We talked about a testimony and what he needs to have before his baptism.. because we think he feels like he needs this big vision or answer so he is still waiting for that... and it isn't coming because he has already felt the spirit at church and in reading the Book of Mormon and everything.  He says he feels really good about it and about everything but he is just waiting for his answer... but we are really wroking with him and PRAYING hard so that he will get his confirmation and be baptized because he is really ready.. he should already be baptized he is so good... 
Ummm what else... oh.. we got some news this last week that Elder Russel M. Nelson will be coming next month and we will be having a Mission Conference in the Netherlands and afterwards all the French missionaries get to go to the temple...SOOOO THAT ROCKS... Thank you Heavenly Father... so now I will get to go to the temple 3 times on my Mission instead of only twice... and plus right after hearing from an Apostle...
President and Sister Brubaker are great.. we have had some more time to be around them a little these last few weeks.. and they have so much love.. Sister Brubaker was at the interviews on Monday making crepes for all the missionaries.. haha .. 
Things are going very well .. I am enjoying serving with Elder Nielsen .. he is a stud and so Christlike.. and we have a lot of joy together....
Speaking of joy we have started teaching this new man named Jaques.. he is from CAMEROON.. yes that is right.. the blessed country of God where the elect people are born.. haha I'm a little partial to cameroon.. 
Well he is great.. he is a Urologist.. I don't know how to spell that.. and he reads the Bible everyday and takes notes and loves God... AND PLUS he is super humble and excited to learn.. he brought me so much happiness yesterday... so hopefully things go well with him... other than that .. I don't have much else... I haven't gotten your package yet, but I think that is because you haven't sent it.. maybe... as for transfers, we still have a couple of weeks.. and it is possible that I will leave... 
Love you All!
