Awesome Week!

Wow thank you all for the letters and emails they are awesome! So just an update on brother Bai I saw him that next tuesday he said that same night we had given him the blessing he was up and going again. He woke up the next day and was able to go to work and had no problems. He had a touch of malaria on sunday but wasnt going to let that stop him from coming to church 2 weeks in a row. I love that man so much. He just took an old taxi he had and cut it in half and turned it into a little work truck and so of course i stop by everyday to see how it looks and talk to him about it its so sweet! To those of you that read this and might know him He is Brother Bai Sesay in the Grafton branch i think Elder.... Rogers with a branch missionary baptised him actually about 2 years ago now. Anyways this week was really good. We had a zone service project at the national football stadium we picked up trash around the stadium i got some cool pictures of the inside that you will get when elder Gunderson comes home. Also we just got back from the beach about an hour ago! It was so amazing! White sandy beaches with palm treas and stuff so cool! I got some cool pictures of that. There was this big huge row boat sitting on the beach and so pres roggia got the idea of having all the elders sit on it and take a picture so just before he takes the picture the boat completely tipped over it was so funny. a couple of the missionaries got kinda hurt. I also bought a sweet shirt on the beach and in krio it says what happens in sierra leone stays in sierra leone. I payed kind of a lot for it but i really wanted it haha. But i promise we really did work this week haha. We have a baptism on this saturday it is these 2 girls name Jenneh and Hawa. They stay with ther aunt and there cousin just returned home from his mission last week. He was actually serving in this mission but he was in liberia most of his mission. (Elder Kamara) and so he is going to be the ones to baptise his cousins. Then the very next saturday we will be having another baptism so.. the work is going very well. I went on exchanges with Elder Norton who has been on mission for a little over 3 months and man i learned so much from him!! He is such a good elder! The weather is starting to be really really nice i love it! Oh here is another story. The wellington 1 elders just started teaching Aunty Christiana and her Daughters and they absolutely love it the hard part is going to be working wiht her husband but her daughter Maybell went to church yesterday and ended up actually teaching relief society because they didnt have a teacher and everyone wanted to know who she was because she did such a good job teaching. Seriously if Christiana gets baptised i would be so unbelievably happy! So please keep her and her family in your prayers. Sis Roggia came up to me today because she knows how much i like cars and told me that president is trading in the old car and getting a new one which will be sweet! Its kind of sad though because everytime i see that old car it makes me think of sister squires and how president squires used to hotrod in it and she would yell at him. Anyways everything is really good here I love it this transfer is going to be really good! Thank you all for the love and support! 
 
Love Elder Lancaster
