Hi everyone,

Last week was an awesome week with a lot of success. This week however, things kind of went downhill. Everything is still going good with our investigators; Jessie is still getting baptized this coming Saturday which is going to be awesome. The members are freaking out! Usually, we have to push everyone to get just a few people at a baptism but people are volunteering to give a talk and cook food. I've never seen food at a baptism here so it's going to be sweet!

Our other investigators are also doing great; they are slowly gaining a testimony and overcoming the problems in their lives. This week however, we had some problems with sisters getting sick and injured. I swear I gave more blessings this week than I have in my whole mission. It's great to serve and use the Lord's priesthood, but it takes a tole on you when they are calling you 20 times a day; sometimes at 2:00 in the morning too. We eventually had to take one of the sisters to the hospital because she couldn't walk very well, and after three hours over at the hospital, we aren't any closer to finding out what's wrong with her.

So that's pretty much all that happened this week. Sorry this is kind of short. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it was one of the most stressful weeks of my mission. It's kind of funny how that worked out. Two weeks ago was awesome and last week was pretty rough, so I'm really excited to see how this coming week turns out :)

Love, Elder Smith
