12/18/2017 Week 7: I Am In A Big Hurry

So I dont have much time because of my Zone being a distraction so this will be very short. We went to the aquarium today and they had a scuba Santa. We also had our baptism this week (the picture below) Zach the kid next to my companion was baptized. It was  an amazing experience that I wish I could go into detail about. I gave 2 talks this week one at the baptism and one in sacrament. Those were fun. I got a haircut today. Cant wait to see the family on Christmas. Sorry for everyone not participating. Maybe I can in 2 years. We have another dinner appointment today and I feel like the members are doing too well at feeding us. I am super tired, this past week has been full of a lot of things with the baptism and transfers and other things. Yesterday night we had a thing where our stake and 4 other churches come together and celebrate Christmas. It was fun but I have learn I have a bad temper toward things I know are not true so when the preachers for the other churches got up and spake I nearly got up and walked out which wouldnt be good because 1. the missionaries all sat at the stand for everyone to see, 2. President and sister Welch were there in the front row, and 3. bad impressions. I nearly fell asleep also. The only talk that had the spirit was the stake presidents talk for some reason ;). We understand why of course. But there were a lot of cookies so it was good in the end. I got called out during it by the host who is a member. He told everyone I am from Alaska, and lived in Japan. He listed where people were from and he said places like Utah, Idaho, Tennessee, one sister from Canada, California, New York, etc. Then he pointed at me. I did have a lot of fun this week. I feel bad for the ward mission leader because all the work he does. By the way mom and dad message him on facebook to see when I am able to skype you. I have to go bye!!!!
