That sure makes our job easier!

It was Independence Day here yesterday so we weren't able to email.

Samuel didn't end up getting baptized this week. It turns out that he is on probation for counterfeiting money, so he had to have an interview with President Gamiette over the phone. It will be this Saturday if all goes well.

We have found a cool lady named Herman. She goes by Baby. She came to church this week and her aunt is already a member. Apparently she got a Book of Mormon from some elders that were here a long time ago and she has been reading it on and off ever since! When we taught her the first lesson she already knew that it was true! That sure makes our job easier!

Our district has baptized more this transfer than any other. We have 3 more, including Samuel, that could be baptized by the end of the month. Seven in any branch of the mission now-a-days is unheard of! We are working hard, trying to get them all in the water by then.

Nothing new beyond that is really going on. Elder Morris is getting transferred next Wednesday and that makes us all excited. He's difficult.

All of the Elders in Vieux Fort, except me of course, got a call from President Gamiette this week about being disobedient. We were at a branch youth activity on Saturday and ALL 3 of them went swimming! Needless to say President was not happy with them. He's not mad at me though. :)

The scripture of the week is Alma 5:45-46.

P.S. Thanks for the Olympics updates. Go USA!
