Greetings!
Sorry, I have to keep this short, because I only have a
little bit of time. We had a really good week, and we got a lot done. I really
wish I could tell all of you all the great things, but time is limited. I am really
glad that we are having a lot of success and working hard before I will
probably move this month. Here are a few highlights from the many.
Mas Bimo, our investigator has been continuing to make a lot
of progress, and was baptized yesterday. I was so happy to be able to baptize
him, since it was the first Investigator that I taught that was baptized. I
hope and pray that he will continue to be active in the church, and prepare to
serve a Mission. I have learned a lot from him, and have been happy to see his
progress.
It has been raining a ton lately, and sometimes we just
can't wait it out because of appointments. So we often get completely drenched,
even while wearing ponchos. But I actually like the rain sometimes, because the
city gets a lot less loud and busy.

I have felt very close to all the members here lately, which
is natural since I have been here for so long. I am so happy with how welcome
and loved they have made me feel. It truly is incredible that no matter where
we are in the World, we can always find friendship and refuge at one of our
churches.
For our P-day activity today, we played basketball at an
indoor place with Elder Waltman and Elder Hasibuan. We played for a pretty long
time, and it was a great workout. I was completely drenched in sweat the entire
time! I guess I will never fully get used to the heat and humidity. It was nice
to talk to Elder Waltman about how we would be going home by now if we were
Sister Missionaries!
Well, I am once again sorry that this is short. I really
appreciate all the love and support you all have given me over the years. I
wish I could express my thanks to each one of you individually. Thank you, and
I will talk to you next week!
