Mission Blog: Last time I learned that when missionaries take off their shoes there is always a smell, and it's not very pleasant.  So this time, we had them sprinkle their shoes with a little powder, and no smell!  Zone conference is always a special time to get together and recharge our spiritual batteries.  

The only (baptism) that I think is going to go through is a girl named Kina. She had been taught all the lessons and then her parents made her stop (this was before I got here) but than her parents allowed her to get baptized so she is going to get baptized on the 16th of this month, so we are really exciting about that. We are teaching a lot of other people too. We just found two families that we are really exciting to teach. One of the mothers said that we look differently we act differently we talk differently and that is why she wants us to teach her family. IT was really cool that she could see and feel the different between the missionaries and other people. We told her that what she was feeling was not specifically us, but it was the spirit of the Lord, so that was really cool. Ok I will! Thanks so much for the Reminder!!!

…We heard about those missionaries that got their mission calls changed! But reassure them that it was definitely a call from the Lord and that they are definitely needed here. Also Angola I feel is a lot better place to be than Mozambique, not just being biased to my mission, but just about of different things that I have heard.
