Holy cow mom, haha i got a letter from you sweeeeeeet! Not just a funny small email form jessicas phone! haha I am just teasing, but thanks for sending me an email anyways when you guys didn't have the computer. You are amazing. This last week was really good, it went by soooooo fast, and we did so much. It was hard near the weekend though because i caught a cold, and its hard to push through the busy days when you are feeling too well you know. Haha no lie, i had never been more tired in my life than i was on saturday and sunday. We had so much going on with planning and making sure maria's baptism went well, oh and it totally did it was amazing, i'll talk more about it in a bit. THen Elder Larson and i had to plan and train all the elders in the zone at zone conference. Then we had a meeting with the president, and just a bunch of appts with other people and just a lot of running around this week. Sooooo i am way super happy that it is pday and i can just chill for a little bit and go have some fun with some of the other elders out here.
Things with Elder Simmons are going great. He is going to be a really good missionary, and he and i work together well when we are teaching. He had broken his arm skateboarding before he came out, and today we are going to the doctors so he can get his cast removed. SO he is way excited for that to happen. Hmmmm any new and exciting news here in Geneva... well we are working with a few new people right now. One of my favorites is this old lady named SUe. She is super cool and she knitted me a beanie, and she is just a super nice old lady we met through doing some service at the catholic church, and now she just wants to know all about us and our church. We are working on finding more people right now too, espcially at the Hobart College campus. I think that we might be able to really find some people there that need the Lords help.
Ohhhh and the weather here is already soooooooooo dang cold. You guys would be freezing! I can't believe last week it was still almost 100, hahahah and i laughed when you said we had a big cool down and its in the 70's. That sounds oh so nice right now. It is usually in the 40's right now but it dips into those 30's and thats when it gets me cold haha. It hasn't really been snowing too much yet, but this next week it is really supposed to cool down and start snowing on us. brrrrrrrrrr i'm gonna freeze! haha pray for me
Frank is still doing well, and he is taking good care of us still. Its been good because since i have been in geneva for ahwile a lot of the people in the ward know and like me, so we are being taken care of pretty well in the ward too. Its really fun working with the ward members and they are so important in our work. So if you guys have a chance this next week, you should invite the elders over for dinner.
ALright on the Maria's baptism. It was pretty much amazing. It is so crazy to know about 6 weeks ago she knew nothing about mormons or our church and now she is a baptized and confirmed member! THat is such a miracle. ANd it has been fun because i have been able to use my spanish in teaching her. It was funny too, we just met her one day and asked if we could come talk to her about church and then from that first visit she just loved it. It was cool working with her and seeing how much better her prayers got, and how much she really like relief society and everything. Its just amzing to be able to work around people and see how much better thier lives get from the gospel. So we made sure this baptism was going to be really nice, we got quite a few people from the ward there, and the whole spanish crew too that comes to church. Elder Larson and Cox came, and everything just went great. ANd i was blessed to have the chance to baptize her. That is such an honour to me that someone would want me to. ANd it is cool because now she is going to be focusing on the temple so she can get the work done for her dead husband and be sealed to him for time and all eternity. Wow thats just amazing. I love being a missionary!
So that was pretty much the highlight of the week. Baptizing Maria and having a wonderful service with everyone there from the ward helping and being great. Well i love you mom and keep on rocking, i miss you guys like crazy but i love being out here. I mean i have already been out here for a little over 5 months! Crazy. Love you mom and i'll hear from you next week!
Love,
Elder Ingram
