Wow. Well things have been pretty good. Elder Bolkeim doesn't really want to work so this transfer has been different. A few weeks ago E. Johnson (an Elder that I came out with) went home. I guess he didn't want to be a missionary anymore or couldn't handle it. I'm not sure, but it shocked me that he went home. So for 4 days, his comp. Elder Wong came into our area. E. Wong is an awesome missionary. He is a great example of standing up for what is right, even if it's not the popular thing to do. He's from Hong Kong, so for a few days we were quite the international group! All together we spoke 5 languages. E. Wong speaks Cantonese and Mandarin, E. Bolkeim speaks Marshalese and a bit of Tongan, and I was the only one who speaks fluent English. It was fun. Well, we had a great lesson with Steve last Monday. He told us that he is not yet divorced, but is dating Jennalee. So he has already talked with Bishop, but if he is going to be baptized they just need to be friends until the divorce is final. He asked us what he should do and I don't really remember what I said but at the end Steve was crying and he is going to be baptized on Nov. 21. Steve is awesome and is the most sincere investigator that I have ever taught.
