This last week went by quick, we went on exchanges with the ZL's on Wednesday.  Saturday we were suppose to have two baptisms, but only one of them happened.  Mark, our investigator got hurt and had to go to the doctor to get fixed up.  He hurt his back at work.  We rescheduled the baptism for the 26 of June.  Church was good yesterday.  the chapel filled up slowly after the sacrament meeting started.  then i taught the Sunday school class.  It was fun, the lesson was on the book of Joshua.  I focused on chapters 1, 3, and 24.       So guess what?  This morning i weighed myself while Elder Mutadhuba was getting a hair cut, even though i feel like i lost weight, i gained ten pounds.  i thinks i'm littler than i was when i left, but the scale says otherwise.  either way it doesn't matter, i feel great and look great too :)  I've changed the way that i proselyte these days, i got tired of carrying my quad everywhere, so i bought a millitary edition of the Book of Mormon and that is now what i carry around with me now to teach.  it's sweet, it's so small that i can put it in my pocket.  so the World Cup is going, i don't even know if America is paying attention, but we africans love soccer (football).  FYI- USA tied with England.  The world cup is going to make teaching hard for us over here.  we have to be aware of the games so we can schedule appointments for when people are not watching the games.  i think there are games like everyday for the rest of the month and everybody is a fan.  it's gonna give me a headache trying to work around soccer games for the rest of the month.  But no worries, the Book of Mormon is true and Joseph Smith is a prophet, so what else matters.... right :)   I attached some photos, one is of the girl who was baptized and the other is of Elder and Sister Randall.  they are going home in two weeks and yesterday was the last time they were attending our branch.  so we took a picture.  the couple who is replacing them are from Blanding, UT. i think they get here this week sometime, not exactly sure.  Have a great week, remember that obedience brings blessings, so keep the Lord bound!  If we do what he asks then he has no choice but to bless us. 
Love ya.
