WeEk FiVe of the 9th TRANSFER

So if this week 5 is anything like all the other week 5's of my mission then it is going to fly by so fast....every transfer i ask myself..."what happened, why is time going so fast?" not that it is a bad thing, it's just that my mind cannot comprehend it. we had the baptism of the family that i mentioned in my last post. it was one of the best baptisms i've had on my mission, and the first family that i have baptized :D transfers are in 2 weeks (the 7th) and i have decided that i am not going to make any predictions on whether i am staying in lakewood or not...cause i seem to be bad at those kind of predictions haha. a part of me wants to stay, but i kinda want to go to a new area :D

miss you all

miracle baptism this weekend :D

so two weeks ago my companions and i had only found 1 new investigator, but we average 6-8 every week so we were really bummed out that sunday had come and we didn't have new people to teach.....until......elder lewis went in to the clerks office to grab a pair of scissors, he met the ward clerk in there who told lewis that there was a message on the phone that we would might want to hear. apparently that was i family that used to live up in the puyallup south stake in washington who was taught by the missionaries, but had moved to cali...they eventually moved back up to washington and moved here to lakewood...they were supposed to get baptized the thursday they were going to move up here, but the missionaries in cali told them to wait until they got to the ward they would be living in :D so we are having a baptism of a 3 piece family this weekend which was an absolute miracle :D

PLAY BALL!!!!!!

So today we (about 20 missionaries) went to a baseball game....it was the Tacoma Rainiers vs. the Las Vegas 51's. I of course was cheering for Vegas cause i love it there plus that is where one of my comps is from haha. the score ended up being 6 to 2 for vegas which was really exciting, though the game it self was a really slow-paced game. haha i should have worn a jacket to the game cause it was really cold, but i guess i can't complain.

as for missionary work things are going fairly good...we had a baptism last weekend and we had a miracle happen on sunday.... there was a guy who moved up from california who was visiting the missionaries down there and was going to be baptized last thursday, but the missionaries told him that he should wait to be baptized in the ward that he was going to be moving to...so i guess that means a free baptism for the Lakewood area :D

that's all
