the one where the baker baked

Man did this week fly by!! Sorry in advance... kind of a long email this week.

Monday we went pawn shopping and didn't find anything too good. We did debate on getting a dope pistol crossbow so we could kill squirrels but we decided against it (for now). The rest of the day we spent doing fun things at the church with other missionaries.

Tuesday we played basketball with Aung, Minn, and Thet which was fun and we ended up killing them so that was nice. 

Wednesday we had district council and interviews with President Bailey! It was great and me and him had a good talk about Japan and how he knows I'm gonna love it. 

Thursday we took Sheila out to dinner for her birthday and ended up putting on her on date for baptism so that was pretty successful.

Friday we went on exchanges with the ZL's (zone leaders). It was a really good day and a ton of fun. When we go on exchanges though, at the end of the night you just stay at their apartment.

When we got up on saturday we packed up the ZL's ENTIRE apartment because the rent just got raised so they were getting moved to a new apartment. So we were lucky enough to be there and moved them into their new apartment. After a long morning of moving we got back and made a birthday cake for the nice member that does all of the laundry for our whites (her birthday was last saturday but she never told us). So we dropped off our laundry and gave her an excellently crafted cake (I WAS a baker and cake froster before coming on the mission 😎). Then we went and played soccer with Thet, Minn, and Aung which was a blast. Right after, we met with this super awesome lady named Suzannah and she fed us some SUPER hot african food (at least it still tasted good). Then we had a lesson with a guy named Tim but this was no ordinary lesson... he really wants to come to church but he feels he doesn't look nice enough and he wanted a haircut so my comp said he knew how to cut hair (he's buzzed elders heads and cut one elders hair with kitchen scissors) and here we were getting ready to cut Tim's hair. By the end it actually looked pretty good and now hopefully Tim can make it to church! 

Sunday we had a stressful beginning of the day trying to get lots of people to church but we ended up getting more than expected so it all worked out! After church we looked at a new house for Sheila (shes getting kicked out of her old apartment) and it was AWFUL. It used to be a trap home and so its full of so many nasty things and the celing, walls, and floor are all moldy and falling apart. The fridge has old food in it that hasn't been emptied in a couple years. Its not insulated and just a dump. So we spent the whole time there convincing her NOT to get it. (who would've thought it eh??) Then we went to a member meal and had some amazing breakfast casarole and crepes. We ended the day with finding the most elect dude of all time!! And then had two really great lessons where we put 2 new people on date for baptism! 

Overall this was probably the fastest week I've had so far on the mission. Every day just flew by and it was a ton of fun and lots of good things happened. 

Feel free to email me!
