1Nephi 3:7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandements unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

I Finally Got Bit By a Centipede!!

Hey everyone.  How's it? We will start by answering my dearest mother's questions
 
1) Bulu's Baptism went great! Well kind of haha it had to start like an hour late because there was not member of the bishopric to be found but we finally got ahold of bishop.  Our ward mission leader was supposed to be there instead of a member of the bishopric but he called us like 2 or 3 hours before it was supposed to start and canceled so we had to find someone else.  When we finally got everything going it went well.  He had to go under twice though haha.  The first time the guy who was baptizing him couldn't get him under so he was like pushing him down trying to force him under haha and bulu is a very large man so he was struggling.  he pretty much almost drowned him so he decided that was a good time to bring him back up haha he came up and had to do it again because his hand came out.  The second time bulu pretty much through himself back and like hit the bottom of the font and splashed everyone watching.  but all went well and we stayed and ate of course after the baptism.  Oh and guess who confirmed him on sunday! ME! i was pretty nervous but i think i did alright.  Bulu is finally a member!  Now we just hope we can teach his kids. 

2) Candice is still doing good. We taught her yesterday her boyfriend was in and out of our lesson.  We taught her about alma 26 which is an awesome chapter if anyone wants to read it. At the end he was asking how someone could all of the sudden change there life like Candice and Bulu have (Bulu is his brother). He kept saying he didn't believe them. He thought they were faking it because they changed so quickly.  I quickly told him it was because of the spirit they feel when they follow the Lord and i told him to read the intro of the Book of Mormon.  I hope he does it.  It's really cool though because Bishop is doing this new thing with the ward where someone takes a Book of Mormon and gives it to somebody that they think may be in need of it.  He was the first to do it and he gave it to her boyfriend, so we are trying to get him to read it and see why Candice has changed so much!

3) I have a Crazy experience for ya! i finally got bit by a centipede!  It killed!  I was in the Hospital for 3 days! they had to cut off my right thumb!... ok maybe not but it still hurt a ton! and it swole up a little but i used the Doterra oils on it and it was fine haha mom you gotta get some.  but i was just sleeping.  Probably having a wonderful dream and it just crawls on my thumb and bites it! what a jerk! so i quickly flipped it in Elder Browns direction haha (not on purpose) but i flipped out and jumped out of bed and turned on the light to see the biggest centipede i've seen yet! it was like 6 inches long!  Elder brown went and grabbed a shoe and smacked it like ten times! the thing wouldn't die! finally it stopped moving and now we were freaking out because we had to go to sleep again haha but we were able to finally fall asleep and not be attacked again. 

4) I like that list of things to do to develop the gift of charity mom that is exactly what i have been trying to do.   Patriarcal (is that how you spell that?) blessings are the best things ever! i might have said it before but it's true!  they help so much.  I love teaching the Gospel i must say.  It makes me so happy when you see someone change and see them just figure it out! i love it.  I also love to see how God has everything planned out.  it's almost become a game to me to try and see what is going to happen next or who i will talk to or what i will go through.
5) My insanity workouts have been going very well but as for the whole diet thing... not so good... We have had french toast like a million times and not  just french toast.  French toast with peanut butter, banana, syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream... oh man it was good. haha i am getting so chubby i hate that!  i am really gonna try to be better this week.  I just barely got the power bars i don't know why it took so long but it is here now. im ok haha

6) Once again mostly nothing on p day haha.  there just isn't much to do.  oh except i shaved my head! weird huh! i haven't done that since i was like 8. it feels good though and saved me 20 bucks!

Well i think that pretty much covers it.  It was a pretty good week i must say.  I can't believe it is already week 5 in the transfer!  this week and next and it is over! 

This just in... i am flying to oahu for a training.  i have to leave for 2 days... ...  It is for all the greenys though so maybe i will see the elders from the mtc! well that's all i have to talk about this week.  love you all.
