Everyone I was NOT swimming! I promise that was just a flood in our area. I just wanted to show you how deep it was and I would never swim in waters here, you never know what is in it. I got right back out of the flood. I will try and stay dry, plus we have a good Taglaba so my clothes are clean.
Do you remember telling me about the pants that the missionaries got made with the cool pockets? I got some made and the pockets are Winnie the Pooh :) They are sooooooo coool :)  Next Happy 100 days of Pasco (Christmas ). Let the countdown begin, we have already started to sing Christmas songs in church and people are putting up lights. Its crazy..... Anyway, its been tough for me this week, its been a weird week. The hardest thing for me is not trying to aspire to positions, but the lord is chastening me real well. I have to see that just being a missionary is as good as DL or ZL. What I learned is that sometimes what I want is not what the Lord wants for me. I need to trust that HF has a plan for me and that everything will happen for a reason.
Also, the most frustrating thing is when Investigators do not come to church. You put out your whole heart and soul to them and they just do not understand what the gospel can give them. The people here see baptism and the church is like a ceremony rather than a need. So we are going to have to change a lot of baptismal dates now again because of church attendance. Our next baptism is the 28th of September. :) I just have to keep smiling and keep working :) I know that the Lord will help me if I stay exactly obedient :) 
The work was also a little slow this week too. There was a brown out on Friday night and a big, big storm on Sunday night. Then my companion had a baptismal interview and it just seems like we have gotten punted more than ever this week. This week is transfer week and I have this sinking feeling, I am going to transfer..... but when I look at it probably not. I will go wherever the Lord sends me. I will just continue to work and do whatever the lord needs me to do :) I know that this week will be great. :) Thanks everyone for reading my blog!!!! Tell everyone that I would email them but I only have 1 hour on the computer.
