hey mom,

This week has been great a lot was able to get done. We this week will be having another baptism on Saturday!!! this one kinda fell into our arms but is going to work out. The person that we are baptising is Deborah. in the middle of last week she text ed us and was like can i be baptised on the tenth, instead of the seventeenth. Well obviously we are not going to say no, especially when we already have a baptism scheduled for the seventeenth so it worked out for the best. we taught Deborah a ton we had 4 lessons with her and an interview from a counselor from the mission presidency, she passed with flying colors. We are very excited for this baptism. Elder Nash will be the one doing the baptism and i will be confirming her on Sunday. I am very grateful that Elder Nash is able to do that. He is from Pocatello and has grown to be one great friend. He has a great connection with Deborah and it means alot to her so we are excited for her.

We have still been teaching Bob, he is still struggling with the whole smoking situation but has been progressing in the gospel. we had a great lesson with him this week we read with him 3 Nephi 11 with him, when the savior comes to the Nephites, we really focused on when Heavenly Father introduced the Savior to the people, and we applied that to Bob and said "What have you done in your live that would make your introduction to some one so great". It was really great it made him think alot about what the savior and Heavenly Father wants from him and their expectations. It was one of the most spiritual lessons that i have ever been in it reconfirmed my testimony of this gospel that we do have and the blessings that do come from them.

This week we also had dinner with Jessica, it was great we also were able to clear up some concerns that she had from relief society, about eternal marriage. she is still doing super good and is still on fire. she unfortunately probably wont be baptised on her date. But she will be baptised she already has a testimony of the restored gospel and is striving to have that spirit with her at all times. We are really excited for her as well.

The weather here has been really hot till yesterday. I was COLD it didnt get  more than about like 68 degrees, same with today its really cold. Last week had been up in the higher 90's and low 100 so sixty is super cold. But all has been going well. Gabby is still doing great she is loving her new life and is just as strong as ever!

I Love you all!
