July 10, 2011 - He2 Di Xiong Baptism!

Dear Family,

I do miss the 4th of July, I hope you guys had a good time. So yes.
He2 di xiong got baptized and confirmed. He will be getting the priesthood next week hopefully. His service was really good. Really smooth in the water and out. One solid dunk. He said that the thing that made him want to be baptized in the first place was that he had a great feeling when he attended a baptism last move call. And ever since then he has really wanted to experience the same thing. I'm really glad that we invited him to go to that baptism!
Other recent convert news, Lin2 jin4 tian2 (baptized last month) is having his interview to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood next week. Sweet. And he has three callings! I love that man. So willing to serve the Lord. He is slowly sharing the gospel with his family as well.
Rudi. Rudi is slowly progressing. Right now he has a goal to be baptized on the 30th of this month. We are helping him work towards a baptismal interview this weekend.

This week is zone conference. I can't wait. They are awesome. And next week is the temple trip. Which means I won't be emailing until Wednesday of next week.
Here is just has been really really hot. I sweat all the time. No matter what. Even if there is AC. Its an auto-sweat zone here. When we come back we are all going to die.
We found out that in the next couple months, there will be 40 new missionaries coming on island. That is a lot of newbz. But it also means that there will be lots of trainers and lots of young leaders. Oh boy I hope I don't train. haha

OK. there is a missionary rule... That I am super tempted to break. Every single Sunday. Every Sunday all the members bring their cute little Asian babies to church. And here babies are just passed around like a bag of chips. Everyone gets to hold the baby. And every week someone offers me a baby to hold. They hold the baby out and expect me to take the cute bundle of angel sauce. But like cigarettes, I have to avoid it as best I can and just say no. It makes me so sad.

So yeah. I miss holding babies. Like, Jesus said bring the children unto me. And I'm just trying to be like Jesus!!! gosh... But it's against the rules. Someone better give me a baby to hold when I get home. I miss babies.

Anyway. I have to go now. Love you peeps and I will email you next Wednesday
