Baptism!!!! It went so great! We had a rough beginning of the week cause Elder Elzey got sick, then I caught it, then he felt better, then I felt really bad got a prescription, then he caught it again and now we are both on prescriptions! We rested alot this week to recoop! Now we are back up to speed and kickin. Then yesterday with the baptisms, and also extending a baptismal date to a family and they accepted!!! WHOO!!!! Love it! I was able to perform the baptisms of two of our three baptisms, Sis Trimm and one of her daughters!  Elder Elzey was able to baptize the other daughter! Things are going so great! We have zone conference Tuesday again and I am excited. We have been studying Alma 32 and 1 Corinthians 13 to prepare for it.  Reading of the Book of Mormon is going great, there is so much to learn in there!  Elder Elzey on Saturday decided to go no hands down into a ditch and come back up. The ditch was about two feet deep and had a fair incline and decline. Well he did and I got the biggest laugh when he bounced up and down on his bike then eventually flipped over onto the grass!!! Hahahha he was fine just a little bruised. Then, literally not 30 ft later, he jumped and was going just to the wrong angle when he landed and fell into another ditch and flipped over again! This time a lady pulls up laughing and asks, "Is he okay?" haha I was just busting out laughing again! He got up and shook it off and then about 5 to 10 minutes later, he went into another ditch (with hands) and went up this big bump and flew in the air and landed on his side and skid a good little bit! haha It was one funny day with him crashing. I told him to take it easy though before he gets a broken arm and can't proselyte very well. He does make riding fun though. We had lunch after the baptism with the family and had another delicious bbq, really enjoyed it. Oh and we painted fire hydrants out here in Nashville Saturday morning with our ward. They hadn't been painted since 1976 and they were all sorts of bad looking. Now we see them everywhere and they are all  a really pretty red! Trying to help our communities is helping us get recognized.  A member suggested that we write articles about ourselves and us coming out here on our missions and put them in the papers so people can see them. We are gonna double check to see if thats okay then move forward with it! I hope all is going well back home for everyone, I still haven't heard from ALOT of yall! :p it would be nice too, I love you guys, have a great week! :D

 

Love,

Elder West
