Elder Porter, Tess, Boobie, Elder G. 

Tess's baptism back in February.  Her husband, Boobie baptized her!  It was awesome!



Whats up there my dear mother! Sorry about not writing yesterday,
things got crazy and we were at ZLC. We had a good ZLC, a lot of good
revelation and things talking about how to move the needle in the
mission to baptize more. It's crazy to think that E. Stelter & I are
the oldest missionaries in there and the rest are all younger than us.
My companion now has only been out for 6 months so we picked him up
from the airport, it's pretty cool. I like him a lot, he is going to
be a good companion to die with.

So our baptism this past weekend for A.... didn't go through, we are
having trouble being able to teach her. She is solid and comes to
church a lot, it's been a struggle teaching her tho because of things
in the home, so she will be baptized, just not sure when. But we do
have Tasha's baptism this Saturday! I can't wait, she is money. Of all
the people on my mission that I have been able to see baptized, she is
one of the most prepared. She is right along the lines with the Jays,
so she is awesome! I'll send you pics, it'll be good.

So this weekend was nuts.  But, all is good now. I think I have heard it all on
my mission, Some crazy things have happened in Maui.   But, we are going to see a
lot of baptisms this month, we have already have 8 and we have
12 more scheduled, if we get 18 we will set the record for the most
Maui has ever seen in one month, so that's the goal. I am loving life,
love the mission, love you! Sorry so short. Thanks for everything!

Love you all, Elder G.

Guess who I met yesterday?  Happened to run into Sister Duke!  Awesome to see a good friend from home!
