My stomach is better. I eat fruit every day for breakfast and a little granola and after that I feel better. But if i eat like cereal or something like that with a lot of sugar, I don't really fell that great which is really weird. I got some questions. The other missionaries had a baptism yesterday, and I don't think the people went all the way under the water, but the witness said they did.  What does that mean for the baptized people? Does the baptism count or what's up with that? Also, do they give priesthood for the dead?

I don't know what to do with my investigators. They won't attend church. They say they will all week, then Sunday comes around and nothing. Yesterday was a little rough for my companion. He has had a rough mission. Like he is a good missionary, but hasn't been able to see many fruits of it. Then we see the other missionaries who are not obedient, who are having a ton of baptisms, but us nothing. The mission is so focused on baptisms. Like in a way, that's how you are looked at as a missionary which kinda stinks. It adds lots of pressure. This week I went on two exchanges. One was with the leader of the zone and the other with the leader of the district. They were both good. The one with the leader of the district was interesting. We had just got to bed like an hour before and then lights go on. He is like, "Elder I don't feel good. He has problems with his heart. The thing is, he has a week left in the mission. All he has to do is last seven days, without anything happening. So I stayed up with him, read him scriptures, and we prayed.  Then after a while, he said, "I will just read. You can go to sleep. I didn't get much sleep that night and the next few days I was so tired, but its better now. It is not a fun way to spend the last few weeks of your mission, feeling terrible. I feel bad for him and everything he has to go through. 

This week we taught an investigator. Then after we go to the house of a less active who lives close by. She said all this stuff about him like he was using us and all that,so that wasn't good. I never felt like about the investigator. So I guess we will have to look for that now. I really don't know what else to do. I wonder if it's just one of those things to say because she can't get out of the house much, so it's like the gossip stuff. 

That's not good that Lori Anderson died. She was one of my favorite ladies. We worked for her for a long time. I can remember when I was little before I could mow, that was one of my favorite houses because I would pick up the sticks and then I could play in the ditch the rest of the time. Other then that, not much has happened. Have a good week!

Love,
