Dear fam, great to hear that you are all doing so well. I am especially excited to hear that Mom and Dad are moving in on Saturday! Nate I'm excited hear what comes of the application and Eric my arms are still sore from the Yellowstone so go ahead without me... where are you guys going? Pascal's baptism did not happen last week but will come on this week. My new comp is Elder Mlilo, he is from Zimbabwe! He is 24 and was a teacher before becoming a missionary. Training is super fun, but super hard. I am learning a ton and i'm excited to keep learning more. I already experienced many lessons and I know they will help me in the rest of my time training and for the rest of my mission. The picture of the smashed bike was Elder Mlilo's bike, i'm just glad he is ok. Its been funny to see how much his first week was like mine and I bet it will continue to be like my first weeks. I'll tell you more about him as the weeks go by. One thing he told me that really moved me this week as we were talking about our families, is that he was able to do baptisms for the dead for his father and mother. I think that is one of the wonderful things I have ever heard. He is hardworking and obedient and I'm really excited to work with
him.

Kind of just a side note, I was had the opportunity to do a baptismal Interview for one of Jamestown Elders candidates. There is nothing to say about it but it was a great experience, and I know that the Lord is really pleased with those that accept the gospel and decide to be baptized. I hope next weeks letter will be longer but hoped you enjoyed the pictures!

Love, Elder L.
