This week was really good! The crowning event was Trevor's baptism on Saturday. What an amazing experience. There was a little scare at the beginning so started 20 minutes late, but it was exactly what it needed to be. So many of his family members and friends from Kimberly came (as well as a good handful of our YSA) - there was SO much love in that room. The room was simply packed!! I am so thankful to have been here to teach Trevor and see his progress. He is so amazing, and I am so proud of him!!
I love the people in this area so much. There has been a lot of contact with people who are uninterested and don't want to talk with us. If this was at the beginning of my mission, I would probably be sad because of the rejection, but now I am heartbroken because of their dwindling faith and lack of progression - they are not happy! I love them all so much, but I know that I can't force them to move forward. It makes me think of how frustrating it must be from Heavenly Father to see us stumbling and bumbling about when we have to truth right in front of our faces! But then again, He is perfect and understanding of us, so He probably wouldn't be frustrated per say :)

I know other things happened, but these are the only things at the forefront of my mind, so that's about it! We have transfers on Thursday, so I'll let y'all know next week what happens!!
Love you all so much! Thank you for your love and support
