Creed's latest

Hello People,
It's a pleasure to be writing to you today also to hear all your wonderful stories and such stuff. Congrats to dad on being able to hatch 6 chickens. That makes me want to ask you how many there are now? Also I feel you should know that my opinion of eggs has changed and now they are a main course of my life. They make me strong like Gaston. How is your book going dad? And Cally´s movie have they started? Is she going to have to be there watching it like every time they film?

This week was all right. The best part was definitely Erick's baptism. He got there at about 6 with his cousin and his cousin's pregnant wife. It was scary for a bit because we were the only ones there because the whole ward almost was in the stake center at different activities. But once the Dominican hour rolled around (30-45 minutes late) people started to show up and we had a beautiful baptism service. My favorite baptism here named Patrick directed the meeting he is a ward missionary so that was cool. He wants to go on a mission but is a bit worried about forgetting all the school he has taken. He's studying to be a computer programmer.

We're super low on investigators lately and its been kind of wearing on us but we just keep working trying to find news. Maybe you guys could pray for us because we could use some extra help. We found a couple people who seemed interested this week and understood our message a bit but they didn't come to church so that makes it harder. Sometimes it feels like we have worked everywhere in our area but then if we just stop and talk to people we realize there are people everywhere we go that we haven't talked to.

Today we played some basketball early this morning with the two other missionaries in our ward and it was fun. Me and Elder Anderson won. He is from my group and is really cool. We also cut our hair this morning. Our electricity schedule is terrible where we are right now we only have it really in the mornings so anytime we want to to laundry we have to do it during study time which I don't like doing.

I really don't have much to tell you all except happy birthday to Brandon I hope everything is awesome there with him. I love sweating in the hot sun all day and meeting new interesting people everyday. Its even better when they understand the awesomeness of our message. I´m trying to tell people how cool it is that we get to listen to Apostles of the Lord in a couple weeks. I am super excited for conference and have been reading a lot to get ready. I hope we can have some good progressing investigators then so they will instantly know our church is true and want to be baptized when they hear those men speak.

I hope you have one awesome week and I hope everyone is happy. I know this is the church of the Lord.

love you all
love
