One heck of a week.

Hey y'all,

Man this was a crazy week. I hope that this week is better or you than this last one has been for me.

So last Monday we went over and it turns out that Brandy had broke up with her member boyfriend. It was a sad time. She still wanted to move forward with the Baptism.

Well Everything started out fine. We had district council and interviews and both of those were great. Elder Leavitt got some good advice for when he goes home. We also got some good advice for how to help Brandy.

Then when we got home we talked to Brandy's ex-boyfriend and he was just blowing off steam to us. Then Brandy's son came home and was just receiving all the steam. We tried to tell Brandy's son to just leave the room, but Brother Reed thought we had told him to run away and so he blew up on us and doesn't want anything to do with the church anymore. It was crazy and kind of scary, but he calmed down and so the situation has stabilized.

Then the rest of the week we tried to overcome that situation. We kept moving forward on the baptism and it was going good until Saturday afternoon. We had just finished helping someone move and then got to another service project and she called us and told us that she has some problems that we need to work with her. I am glad she was honest with us though. Other than that, it was a pretty normal week. Probably the craziest though. I hope that things are going well for you and hopefully I am telling you about a baptism in a few weeks.

The only other exciting thing going on right now is Elder Leavitt is finishing his mission. I am proud of him and excited for him. He will be flying home on Wednesday and I will be staying in my current area and receiving Elder Porter. He is the technology specialist of the mission and I am excited to get to know him better. I'll let you know how it is going next week. Until then have a great day and God Bless!
