Hey Sweet Baby James!!!!!
            This week has been a crazy one for me too. As you heard, I lost my wallet. That had my license, my mission credit card, and my regular credit card. Hence, Elder Morris has zero money. I also had $20 in cash on my money clip. Just a little bit stressful there. Everything got worked out with it tho.
           To go on top of that my camera got stepped on by another elder. Now the screen is broken. It still takes pictures, but you can't see the pictures on the screen. I need to take it to best buy and see if that falls under the warranty. A lot of my stuff has been missed placed as well. Which really bugs me, but I'm trying to take it easy. LOL! My sunglasses broke this week too. Man!!!! But everything is still great.
            I had a long companionship inventory with Elder Bennet and I think we have finally got things worked out. Man, He was a tough one to get through to. He came out plenty bold, which is a good thing, but he had no love behind it. He didn't love the people. We went to a less active part members house to get to know them. After about 10 minutes he asked them to come to church and told them that we had to go. We didn't even know their background, no spiritual thought, no nothing. He just took over. Needless to say, they didn't come to church. I had a long talk with him and everything is fixed now from what I know. He has been working on loving the poeple and not just being a robot. I think our friendship is getting better. Keep praying for us though, It's helping a lot.
             All in all it was a great week all because we baptised Roland yesterday!!!!!! That's right, Roland got baptised. Elder Bennett Baptised him and I think that is also helping him love people more. Okay, next on your prayer list. We have Monique... Grandma Sligers granddaughter. She actually has a solid date to be baptised on the 31st of this month. Way sweet, right?!? We talked to her without Grandma and fixed all of her concerns. Next we have the Shepard boys. They have come to church the past two Sundays and we have a lesson tonight to commit them for the 31st as well. That will mean that we will hopefully get our goal of 4 baptisms this month. Pray for that as well. Transfers are coming up soon too. The night of feb. 2 we found out if I get transfered. I'm feel that for sure I'm going to leave. So, pray for the people in the area I'm about to go to too. Maybe pray for me to get spanish too :).
           Love your man. Nat Mat MO!!!!!
