So glad to hear that the funeral went so well. So drank a few cokes to remember Grandma by. Something really good happened for me this week. It seemed like we had the chance to teach the Plan of Salvation an unusual amount. Just made me happy to get to talk and ponder a lot more about it. We found out a lady that we are teaching is one Muslim, like child or record Muslim. When we first started teaching her we kind of thought she might just be a little slow. Now it is because she isn't Christian at all. It caused us some small problems because when working with Muslims you have to get special permission and a lot of extra things. Also found out she will steal the drunk people's change when they buy more booze, yeah she works in a bar. Her name is Mary. She is way cool so it kind of all works out. Just have to work some things out.

Again on Saturday morning I woke up about 5 to it raining and I was worried it would be like last week where it just rained all day. Luckily about 9:30 it stopped. Just made for some small flooding and lots of muddy roads. The worst part is that we came to a part that we couldnt' find a way across so we took off our shoes and waded across. Yeah I slipped on one of the rocks and cut my foot. It wasn't too bad and I crossed and just put my shoe back on. Though I had to go see the Mission Doctor this morning. He basically gave me some stuff to put on it and then warned me not to walk in the mud here becaues there is some kind of bacteria that can climb through your feet into your bladder and give you some problems. It was worth crossing the water though because we went and taught a guy who was referred to us by our stake patriarch. The man we taught is named Stiofe and he is pretty much ready to be baptized. That is all he wants. He has been attending instiute in a different ward for some time now and well knows that the church is true. Due to school and some other things he just wanted to wait. So now we get to baptize him. We just have to work and get his wife who is an Elder in her church or something like that.

Well that is about it. I hope you guys have a good week. Love ya!

Love ya guys too much!

Love Elder G
