So, this last week was all right. We worked a lot with our old investigators.. we found out that Marvina didn't get baptized because she is scared of being a hypocrite. She doesn't think that she can make the covenant and keep it.

Emier said I can have his X box 360 and a bunch of games... so I will be sending that home shortly. He has to get it from his dad's house first... I am so excited! Now I won't have to buy one when I get home. (But I am not thinking about that....right?)

We are going fishing with Marvina's family on Thursday so hopefully we can talk with her husband while we are doing that and get him in on baptism.

We had our President interviews on Wednesday and I think that President Newman is the most inspired man in the world... I walked in and he asked me what was wrong... I said nothing cuz I didn't think anything was wrong I thought I was fine. Then he said that I am not myself and he asked me what's wrong again... and I didn't even know why and I started confessing to him about how I cant get my investigators to church and therefore they can't get baptised and I was freaking out because I haven't had a baptism in months... he told me that none of it was my fault and that next transfer I would have a new companion and get back on top of things... but he said that he doesn't think my work here is done... so now I know that I won't be with Hill next transfer but I wont neccessiarily be leaving Dunn Ave. It was pretty intense. Then he told me that he wants me to find a new strategy for the mission on how to get people to church... He said because I am the one person who is most worried about it that I am the one who needs to find the answer for it. So, I got a lot of prayer and study to do this week... and once again, I didn't have any investigators at church on Sunday... but President says that I shouldn't worry about it at all.

So other than all that... I enjoyed the Easter package mom and dad thank you so much.
I hope you guys all enjoyed the pictures. I am going to go.... we might go to the zoo today. Love you all.

I was so close to this big one I even threw a stick at him and hit him right in the eye.... ha ha don't worry mom... when I was at the alligator farm they told us that its a rumor that alligators can run fast they are actually really slow... now crocodiles could burn me.
