...that is going to be a great day!

General Conference was great! We didn’t get as many investigators as we would have liked but I felt the spirit and there was some amazing talks, and dad I think it’s a good idea to wait a few months before I get married haha but when I get back I better do it fast because we all know that the world is coming to an end in 2012 and that’s the year I get back….(lots of sarcasm) haha.
            So we got our transfer call Saturday and….. (drum role)…. Im staying in Roxboro. And that means... I would be very great full for your prayers for me haha The weather is having its ups and downs here and allergy season is coming along with summer. I hope its not as bad as last summer. I think its going to be weird to go back to Arizona after my mission I might just live in the swimming pool haha.
            So we had a really good lesson with the woods family and we went thru the baptismal questions and they are both ready to be baptized we just need to get them interviewed and they are getting baptized on April 30th and that is going to be a great day! The older sister woods is really funny and as we talked about Joseph Smith she surprised me on how much she knows. One reason for that is that she has the book of Mormon on tape and she losses her spot all the time because she can’t see…. So she has heard to the testimony of Joseph Smith over and over again. The thing they both love is that the gospel is true, and that it is the only true church and they can feel it as they pray. They have great spirits. I got the grandson to love me so whenever he sees me he asks me two things 1.when are we going to church and 2. When are we going to play basketball? (he is 7 years old.) It's really funny how much i'm able to use basketball to start talking with people because everyone and I mean everyone loves the game here and they all want me to play for their team haha The other day we were talking to a bunch of gangsters (like the ones I use to play with back home at parks) and I heard some words that I have not heard in a looooonnnnggg time. And yes they wanted to play ball too haha.
            But still moving along and just pushing forward I hope you all had and will have a great week! Be safe and strong and happy!
