Hello friends. Here is an update of things that I did this past week in my mission, as is customary for a missionary. 
This week was a good one.  We spent some of it getting ready for the baptism this Saturday. This will be the first person that I'll baptize!  We were able to give her husband the priesthood so that he can perform the actual ordinance! It was a very great experience. 
Other than that, we found some new investigators and we got some solid return appointments for this week so I'm pretty stoked. It'll be good. 
I was at a members house this past week eating dinner and she fed us this cake and gave us whipped cream.  I ate all of it, but then realized that the whipped cream had expired last October! It did kind of taste funny.... but I'm alright everyone, don't worry. 
We also got the chance to use our guesthouse dogs to our advantage! We took them for a walk to try to get people to talk to us. It worked pretty well, they're a great conversation starter.  We will have to do it again! 
Also it snowed in Fortuna this morning!!!! It was awesome. It was actually like sleet but close enough!   We had breakfast at the Jutila's house this morning.  They are an older couple and when people need help, they just invite them to live with them! They have a ton of people living there and we get to teach everyone!  They're very nice. We've eaten there a lot.  
Song of the week is The Magnificent Seven by The Clash.
Have a great week everyone! Read a few verses from the Book of Mormon every day. I promise it will bless your life and you'll see a difference!
