Hey everyone,

how is everything going? that sounds fun about girls camp. a
missionary that just went home called me this morning and he was out
on utah lake telling me how awesome it was so thanks for rubbing that
one in haha just kidding. No everything is good here. we had a super
busy week and im glad its p day. i needed to rest a little bit.

Transfers were on wednesday and so we got basically a whole new zone.
Its a way cool one too. Like all of my way good friends that i have
gotten throughout my mission (except grover) are all here haha. its
fun. They told us they got all of us here because were BAPTIZERS haha.
 thats hilarious to me because its true.
We got our harvest report for baptisms for each missionary and all the
of ones here have the most in our mission. They did that because our
stake/zone has the lowest amount of baptisms in the whole mission and
everyone makes fun of it and doesnt want to come here. Our goal for
july is 13 which is the highest it has ever been in the history of
this stake, we have 4 baptized and 16 with baptism dates its a good
feeling to be on top of everything like that and were hoping to show
everyone that it can be done in the kaneohe zone. So keep praying for
our success because we have something we need to prove president said.

WE confirmed daisy on sunday and that was good. we also had a miracle.
as of yesterday, to go back with the baptisms we only had ten with a
date and of course some will fall through. So we were praying to find
some solid baptismial dates. Daisy shows up to church with 5 of her 9
kids and i find out that two more of them can be baptized, so this
isnt about numbers or anything...... buttttt we have two more coming
up on the 28 now haha. just what we needed. It still is amazing the
things that happen when you just work. No one was home this week and
it was more like a screw this no one wants to hear anything but we got
some good blessings sunday and its because of our dilligence in not
quitting when it sucked. testimony builders everyday man.

And on thursday we got a mini missionary again to come with us. I dont
know why i always get them but they are fun. His name was jordan and
he is from our stake. He was with us over the weekend and it was way
fun to have him. He brought back a lot of greenie fire i think in both
of us and kept us going because we wanted him to love it so if this
last week had to be a bad one he helped us get over it.

so yeah. everything is good. as long as we hit 13 im gonna be happy.
hope you have fun at girls camp and that everything goes how you want
it to. love you all
