thank you for the thoughts about prayer, that is very important to remember.
Sorry but im going to be brief today (see dads email about internet problems...)
I will let you know that i am doing well right now, we had our
investigators confirmed yesterday, so they are no longer investigators
I guess haha. We should have another baptism this next week, possible
2 depending on some transport issues.
I have gathered almost all of the stuff necessary to make that lasagna
(I need cottage cheese or rociotto) and should be making it next week
so i will let you know how it goes.
I am glad that you are improving, And I hope you have a good rest of June!
Love you!
