So this week, Heavenly Father is just laughing at me and Elder Ball. So, we have noticed this week that we have become way prideful about America. I can honestly say now that America is the best country in the entire world. My patriotism has gone through the roof. Anyway, me and Elder Ball have been really praying for us to get more accustomed to the culture. Guess what Heavenly Father does? Cuts off our power to the house. Its really humbled me up though because I have experienced what the people have to go through. I have had to shower using a big metal bowl that gets filled by the well because our water pump runs on electricity. We have had to plan off candle light and its been a humbling experience. I hope our electricity comes back on now......
On a good note. We had a BAPTISM :) Her name is Sister B. She is very faithful. We sent out a text to bring a friend to church. She called us and said she couldn't bring a friend because she was already at church :) Isn't that so cool :) We have been getting a lot of rain and it really isn't even worth it to stay dry. We usually just get soaked down to the core  :) Its pretty fun  :) The things missionaries do for people. :)
We have had success finding people by going to their neighbors :) It works like a charm :) We have a couple more baptisms coming up in the next couple weeks and I am way excited :) I am happier than I ever have been because I am helping people and just having fun while I do it :) I love having an American companion. :) I feel the spirit so strongly in our lessons and our investigators are responding to that spirit. :) Elder Ball is an amazing missionary :)
I have also learned how to pray... I stay up for a while at night just talking to my Heavenly Father.... Sometimes for like 45 mins. I have never been so close to him. He really is my best friend :)
This week I have felt like its been a real growing week for me :) I love you guys. I pray for you to do missionary work :) I love you all!!!
Love
Elder Bigelow
