Baptism

he baptism went off with only a few hitches. Elder Fife was baptizing her and she kept floating on top of the water so he had to push her down so she would be fully immersed. She talks a lot too so it was funny when a member was giving a talk and she kept trying to interject with her own thoughts.  Besides that the week has been pretty much ordinary. We have an old lady investigator in Wheatland who is obsessed with my dimple. She says something about it every time we see her. The. We have another investigator that is convinced that everything she thinks is from the Holy Ghost. She will hand us some candy and say "The Holy Spirit told me that you wanted this" and she is completely serious about it. It's kinda weird. Not much else is going on here.

Still doing good here in Cali. Not much has changed but our investigator is getting baptized this week. Those pictures make me feel so old I didn't even recognize Matthew or Conner. That's good that Aaron is putting in his papers. I'm so jealous that you get to go to Texas, land of the free and home of the brave. I've realized that missionary work is really boring most of the time and very repetitive so it's hard to come up with things to put in my emails. I don't know if Jake shared with you the photos I put in my shared album. So I'll attach them in this email.

Hey, things are pretty much the same since I talked to you guys on
Christmas. I have gotten all of the packages that were sent to me for
Christmas. Elder Fife is getting transferred so me and Nunley are
staying together and now we are double covering wards. We have the two
biggest areas on the mission so I wonder how that will work. My
trainer is now back in my zone training another greenie so that will
be awesome. We have an investigator that is getting baptized on the
15th so be ready for that. How is it going back home? Is Jake ready to
graduate? Other questions.

Love. Heart. Gooey emotional stuff. Elder Tomlinson
