Working hard with Elder Garcia

My ward is the biggest that I have had in my mission.  It's a good ward. My bishop used to be in the Seventy, so he is cool. I don't really know him very much, but the ward is fine. I have a member wash my clothes. She is cool. She does it all for free, so I save about twenty to thirty bucks a change, but that is like a week of food, so that helps a lot. My companion is Elder Garcia.

With writing things in a notebook, I don't really have time to write one every day, because every free moment I have, I am reading because I need to study the scriptures because I can never remember where they are at, so I am working on that.

No one got baptized this week. The lady drank some coffee, so she couldn't baptize her, but she will be in Saturday. The other people are going through some struggles because Carlos wants to get married first and then baptized and Jess wants to be baptized first and she wants to wait on the marriage. So it's super complicated there, but we are trying to get it all worked out. Can you get me Chris Sorenson's email. I tried to email him, but I think I spelled his name wrong so it didn't go through. It's kinda funny he is in Wyoming, but that is good. And what is it? Spring is in the air so everyone is getting married? I don't feel like I am old enough for those people to be getting married that are my age. It's still weird and what temple is Lizzy Wray getting married in. That is cool about Ashlee Quinney.  Hope she can make it through it all. That is really cool about Utah the year. They are doing really good in sports. I can't watch, but hopefully they are building up.

Yesterday we had a harder day, and I don't know if my comp knew how to deal with it. I am like, man this is my whole mission. So I probably didn't have much compassion, but it's one day, and we have baptisms coming up, so I am super happy. I can't complain about nothing now this week.  It is a tougher week. because it's always the last week of the month that goes wrong, but everything should be good. Um that's about it on my end.  Have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gillies
