We have more funerals than baptisms in our ward

Wow so much happened this week... it was nuts.

Our friend Breanna accepted a baptismal date and she was so excited! She is a single mother of 4 kids, ages 5,4,3, and 3! Plus she's doing college right now. Golly she's one busy lady, but she's awesome.

Elder Cottrell got food poisoning on Tuesday, so we were doing a bunch of mini exchanges to keep working, while letting him rest. We had to go pick up an Elder that was returning to this mission from Russia, because of everything happening over there.

Then one morning we went to help out an old couple in our ward. We were cleaning up their backyard so that it would be ready for a wedding of one of their kids... but he was feeling really bad and he couldn't remember anything, so we gave him a blessing and pretty soon before we left the ambulance came and picked him up. He's the second member to pass away in this ward since I got here! We visited their family on Sunday and got to talk to them.

Someone got baptized on Saturday and we were able to invite a lot of our friends to that which was awesome! And after the baptism we went to watch some baseball!!

Just kidding... kind of. One of our friends is a former pitcher for the Pirates and he coaches youth baseball here, so he invited us to watch the tournament. He was real excited to see us haha

Anyway yeah it was a super busy, but good week. Way too much happened haha

Bye!
