It was sooo great to hear of all of the great physical and spiritual experiences you have all been having! i really liked that picture of Dad and Benjamin in front of that canyon. You are all looking so great! We did a little "hike" too i guess you could say out to the sunflower fields and i came to a rather discouraging conclusion of my out-of-shapeness! I guess walking around in procelytes all day in temperatures over 100 and humidity at its max, its keeps your weight down for sure but doesnt quite gime me my cardio workout:) Benjamin and Dad looked like two workout trainers on the front of a magazine or something!:) This week i recieved my transfer call so i will be leaving marioupul this next thursday. Its a real bummer to leave an area after working so hard to pick up its work but im confident that the next elders who come in will keep moving it forward. We also found out we will have an addition of another apartment in mariopul meaning we will have a total of 6 elders in our satellite city! it was great news!! Our little investigator Nastia is back on date for the 20th and i really think she is going to make it this time. Her mom is back to the determination she had before and now we have a concrete plan of how we can help Nastia get to church, even when her mom has to work. It will be so great for the branch to see another baptism. It does so much to raise the spirits of everyone as a whole. Anyways, i thought i put some pictures up really quick before my time runs out. Hope you enjoy them and have a great week!
