Happy Fourth of July and Happy Birthday to my nephew!!!!!!! Yay! How exciting! I hope you all had a wonderful week! I loved your emails this week! Thanks so much for those! Wow lots has happened this week... I don't even know where to start! Ok so here are the highlights:

1. Ceaser was baptized!!!!!! Yay! You remember the man I taught with Sister Looney from the Philippians? Ya well Sister Rodrigez and Sister Moyes kept teaching him and he got baptized last Sat! I even got to say the prayer at his baptism. I was so glad we got to go! That is one awesome thing about serving in here; even when we get transferred out of our areas we are still close enough we can go to the baptisms of our old investigators.

2. Last P-day we met this guy and we asked him to come to the VC on Sat and we would teach him there. Well we didn't know if he would really show up you know but he came and it was sooooo awesome! We taught him the restoration in a "tour of the VC" version. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he agreed to being taught by the Zone Leaders! It was so awesome!

3. We had a Women’s Conference with Sister Dalton and Sister Clayton. It was awesome! It was all the sisters on this Island including all the Sr. Sisters and she was such a great speaker! One thing that was so awesome was the day before the conference Sister Gulla was asking me why she wasn't just called to Germany so she could get better at it and just be back there teaching her people. She was just saying she didn't understand why she was serving German speaking when none of the Germans here would listen to her because she sounds so American. She was just kinda down about it but during the conference Sister Clayton looked right at her and said you are all called here to this specific mission, speaking a specific language for a specific reason. It was so powerful! We both just looked at each other and knew that Heavenly Father was speaking right to her thru Sister Clayton! The spirit was so strong during the whole meeting. Everyone was so happy and there was just so much love in the room.

4. Speaking of happiness... Holy Cow was Fourth of July so happy! haha we had so much fun! After we got done with tram we all had a BBQ at the Sr. Couples pad. And it was a blast! Sister Gulla and I strung up our Christmas lights and put up streamers too so it looked real nice haha you would have been proud! You will have to check out the pics I sent. But anyways we all just sang, took crazy pictures, ate good food, and watched the fireworks! It was so so so fun! I love my Zone so much they are all so fun!

Well those are some of the events from this week! I love you so so so much and I hope you are all doing well! Next week is transfer week so I am not exactly sure when my P-day will be so if you just have your emails sent to me by Monday that will work just fine!! Thanks for the responses to my emails!

Love ya! Sister C.
