Haha! This week has been kind of insane. First Millie doesn't want to get baptized anymore so we had to work a lot with her and try to help her out. Then we hear that we are getting a new companion. Then we baptized thousands. 

    So here is the story. Something came up and Millie did NOT like it at all. She was so upset that when we walked into her apartment we asked how she was and she said "You aren't going to like this." I told her that we would be fine and then she said "I'm cancelling the baptism." We had been warned by the bishop's wife already so we knew that was coming. We talked for a little bit and unfortunately said the wrong thing which made her more upset. But some how we were able to schedule another appointment with her the next day (3 days before her baptismal date). So we went again after LOTS of prayer and fasting and we were able to get her to reconsider the baptism. She was struggling with something that wasn't too big of a deal. (Satan, hes the worst!) So again we went back the next day and talked to her and we were super nervous. Well actually we weren't really we knew things were going to work out the way they needed to. Before we went to Millie's we talked to Bishop's wife and she said something that I hadn't thought of before. Millie has been doing family history for over 20 years now. She has over a thousand names ready. That means when she gets baptized we are not only baptizing her but over a thousand of her family members as well. No wonder satan was working so hard. When we got to her house that day, she was totally fine and ready to move forward. Her baptism was incredible! It was so powerful! I am sure her family members were all there cheering her on. And Sister Thompson and I were able to sing again. We sang the song that I did at my farewell. People really liked it so now we might be doing it in Sacrament meeting next week. Yikes!

      Oh, so I got another companion. We had an emergency transfer this week so now we are in a tri-pan. It has been really fun so far! We only have a small one bedroom apartment though so we are super crammed. But what is new? Thus is the life of a missionary. Her name is Sister Dixon. She is so sweet!

Oh dang it! I already have to go. Gah! I will update you more next week!  And thus I end my epistle! Love you all!
