6/25/18... Cameron's Baptism and President and Sister Alexander's Last Week

Had a pretty good week this week. We even had a surprise baptism which is always great. Well sort of surprise, Cameron was going to be gone for a while last week and so we thought we'd have to push it back but they still wanted to do it this week so we were able to find ways to teach him and get his interview scheduled. We had some fun lessons with him though I took some pictures of them. The baptism was good President came and he confirmed Cameron right after the baptism. It was probably the last baptism President and Sister Alexander will go to here. They go home this Friday morning. 

It will be really weird getting the new president this week. We don't know a whole lot about him, except he's from Germany.  He has a big personality (whatever that means) lol, and he owned some sort of clothing business in Germany, also he was an area authority in Europe before this so that's pretty cool. I'm excited to meet him, see how things change and what not, learn from a new President for a month. I'm really going to miss President and Sister Alexander though. We had our last zone conference this week with them and it was awesome. Sister Alexander gave a great training. They both talked a lot about careers and marriage sort of. Sister Alexander talked about being a good parent and preparing for that. It was really good, it got all of the missionaries thinking about home though haha. President talked about how to choose a career and really how to be successful. He talked about a pyramid with personal assets, market availability, and passion or interests. It was really good I took a ton of notes because I needed that training a lot! It was really good he encouraged everyone to go to school really hard. But we did talk about missionary work and both President and Sister Alexander bore really powerful testimonies which was awesome. Then we sang the mission song with them for the last time and it was just a tear festival pretty much. 

Went on exchanges this week with Elder Magnusson.  He is a Spanish elder here. We stayed in Reedy Creek with Elder Anderson. We had some apt. in the afternoon then we had dinner at Patriarch Siggs. Kind of interesting Elder Magnusson sang a song while we were eating dinner. Then Patriarch Sigg came out teaching with us, it was such an interesting lesson! We go into see a lady who ordered a bible and she told us all about how these spirits were kind of tormenting her and she actually was really concerned about them and so we got talking and ended up blessing her home. Then she told us about a nail in her kitchen floor that was sticking out so Patriarch Sigg drives home, the 3 of us stay and teach her about the restoration. He get back...knocks on the door right during the first vision of course and screws this thing south of the ground... It was a screw not a nail actually. She was really interested in the Gospel and having us teach more to them. So she said she'd like to come to church and have us come back and teach more! So we cast out a spirit and got a return appointment, she wasn't able to come to church but we are teaching her again tomorrow. 

Overall really good week and this week should be awesome too with the new president coming in! Just got done playing some catch today, that was really fun. 

LOVE  Y'ALL 

LOVE YA MAMMA HAPPY B DAY!
