Transfer 3, week 1

Hey, sorry no email yesterday. All the libraries were closed because of Memorial Day. It was a good day though. We played a lot of games for P-day, some basketball, and soda pong, then had a really good dinner at our Young Men's President's house. Azuree's baptism  was great. There were some complications about making the program at first, then there was a mix up about the building it was suppose to take place in, then Azuree's ride (her family) got into an argument over something and they wouldn't take her, so Sister Marquette and her family took her, and everything rolled fine after that. We had the 85 year old librarian in our ward speak at her baptism as well and she pulled out McConkie's "Mormon Doctrine" Hahahahaha. That book is some super in-depth look at the Gospel. It was so funny. So, I got into the font first, and when Azuree was about to get into the font she looked at me and said, "You know black people can't swim, right?!" and everyone started laughing. She then said, "Oh, crap. Did everyone hear that?" Haha. All I could think was, "Azuree, you're standing in a room made out of tile. They can hear you blinking." Hahaha. It was a good first baptism. I love that girl. She's really, really solid. We taught her everything in a week and a half, then just helped her along. She's read a bunch from the Gospel Principals manual and has bookmarks and highlighted passages. I'm super excited for her. We hit standard this last week, as well. It's been a good week, but a stressful one as well. I keep going through weird phases of depression again, then I'll be fine, then I'll dip down again. I'm going to ride out this transfer and see what happens next. I'll probably be transferred, which is good. I feel like my time in Woodcrest is coming to an end, but not my will, but the Lord's.

Elder Hughes is a good missionary. He's really good at being clear on Gospel Doctrine and isn't afraid to tell people what needs to be done. He's a pretty funny guy as well. We have Mark and Diane's baptism scheduled for the 8th, then Vasti and Corinna's  scheduled for the 22nd. We're going to slam those. It's been a good, hard week. It'll get better.

Also, also...I may or may not have played too much soda pong, got white girl Mormon wasted, ended up at a mall, and got a pedicure with 3 other Elders and Sister Pierce, the mission secretary that goes home this week. #DontJudgeMeBecauseImBeautiful.
