HUMP DAY TODAY!

We are doing really well and feeling blessed. We are starting temple classes next week for about 8 people in Eagle Butte and Cherry Creek. We are starting to worry that we are going to leave a lot of things undone. We have 5 baptisms tomorrow night. Lana Dauphneis who we have been working on for about 8 months. She had to kick a boyfriend out but she did and she is ready to go. Deloria Straight Head who we found, or I should say who found us in the dollar store who we have activated and have given the temple class to has a grandson who is being baptized tomorrow night and we have Golora Belmonte's granddaughter from Cherry Creek who is being baptized and a couple of boys the sisters have been teaching. Does that feel great or what. 

I just closed a deal here in South Dakota (Well we  just got everything negotated out and are ready to close at the end of the month I shuld say) (helped a lady buy a home). It’s a $300,000 home in rapid city. The buyer is a 70 year old school teacher (Indian) who is in our branch and not active. She is scared someone is going to take advantage of her. I went with her and looked at it and helped her negotiate the deal and helped her get it inspected etc.  she taught for 34 years. VERY nice lady. She wants to start coming to church but needs a blessing because she has anxiety about coming. I think I mentioned her before. Anyway it felt good to be back in saddle. (Kinda) the realtor I helped with the deal is pretty excited about my helping her also. I’m going to give her a b of m when it closes. (We just got everything negotated out and are ready to close at the end of the month)  It is pretty easy to do missionary work when you just help people and treat them how you would like to be treated!

We took the sisters to the bad lands Monday and it was so cold but they wanted to go. It was fun seeing the land and how hard it must have been for the pioneers to cross in places. We went to Wall Drug and looked at the suverneers there. that wasnt so fun!

We are hoping to get a lot of things done in the second half of our mission!! (I just know we are going to leave a lot of things undone!!) I HATE THAT!
