Tracting for the first time

This week was pretty normal.

Here are a few highlights though.  Elder Franco's mom got baptized! It was a reallllly beautiful baptism. Like, a lot. I loved it, and shes amazing. We decided to be daring and go do some Procura (tracting i guess...?) in the half of our area where there are literally NO INVESTIGATORS not even from way back when.  This area is really far and full of tourists. But,  that new family, the Nielsons, moved in there and it makes sense that someone has to live there to run the businesses for the tourists. Yeah, we didn't meet very many people.  Even if the people weren't tourists they were way meaner than the people here in the city area. Boooo. But, it wasan adventure!

Our ward really loves us, and we love them. It was kinda hard to tell there for a while but in the past few weeks, everyone in the ward has just been so incredibly nice to us and helped us so much. They will just come up to us on Sunday now and say, "We are so glad you've stayed here, we really love you two." That's a relief because we really like don't know how to interact with the ward sometimes. So yeah, everyone go tell your missionaries that they're awesome and that you appreciate them being in your ward.  Even if you don't know them. They will love it. Other than that, there's not a ton to write. Our district leader (who has already said he's jealous of the friendship Irma Quebbeman and I have) is trying really hard to become besties with us. He does things like ask us to bake for him. And he tells us he's going to play pranks on us. And he says that he really likes to irritate us for laughs. Yeah, he's making a ton of headway on that one.....

But, having the elders here is really fun.  So we have enjoyed hanging out with them too. It's really funny watching a greenie eat at members homes sometimes.  He takes it like a champ.

I love and miss you guys!!
Happy early Birthday Mom!
Love you and I'm recording a tape for you! I'll send it as soon as its done!
