Hello everyone it has been another fast week. It has had its ups and downs but has been a good week overall. So first off, I learned that when we use our P days the way we are supposed to, we can get so much done.  I usually just love to enjoy the day and relax which is ok but then you don't have much time to get things done.  So I got so many clothes washed for a change. I am not a big fan of hand washing everything, but last week went on a washing rampage. I got enough white shirts, garments, pants, socks for the whole week. I also washed a bunch of other clothes I hadn't washed for a while. And Mom, big surprise, I finally washed my sheets. I haven't washed them since I have been here ha ha, there just is no time. I put on the spare pair. I actually washed them in a couple mornings before study.  I also enjoyed talking to Elder Hagen.  The whole time we washed just talking about life. It has been good being with him. Later that night we had a family home evening at the Tigolo family, a nice family and I am close to the teenagers who want to go on missions. We are helping the parents prepare to go to the temple to be married and sealed to their family. Also, I fell through this weak spot in the floor of a bamboo house during games ha ha, if you see the pictures. So this week was a way good week. We really doubled our work this week and taught 20 lessons to less actives and recent converts. We had 12 lessons to investigators and 163 people at sacrament, which is like the most that have been there since I got here. It was really a miracle. We had so many less actives at church (23). It was so cool to see them come to church, some for the first time in such a long time - since I have been here and maybe a lot longer. A lot were hardened and offended but we never give up on them. We invite them to church every week before church and also try to teach them that we can repent always and we had a very powerful lesson about the word of wisdom. We had a good week and 5 people got the Melchizedek priesthood.  So I have seen miracles this week and we hope to continue. We have 7 people with a baptism date for Dec 8. I have learned so much on my mission and I am way happy I chose to serve. Also unfortunately this week I forgot my light one night and it was way dark and muddy and I fell and landed on a sharp sugar cane stake. Unfortunately my camera is broken now.  It still takes pictures but the screen is broken.  It is ok though I will just look for a new one.  That is all I can do - just keep moving on and the worldly things are not important compared to spiritual.  Love you and have a great week.
