Hello Mom,
I think I will
start out with the funny story of the week. As I may have told you one or two
times, my area is built on the side of the mountain. The higher up I get, the
steeper the hills. It goes from streets, then to stairs, then to rocks.
Well, wouldn't you know that we have a family of recent converts who live
where the stairs stop and the rocks begin. So yesterday we got finished
teaching them and we started to come down the side of the mountain. My
companion was using the rocks to go down and I was too. But you know what
happens when you don't pay attention??? Let’s just say I now know what it is
like to trail blaze the face of a mountain!!! No worries, the ground was really
soft. All-in-all I came out with just a scratch on my elbow.
Saturday was a
really good day. In the morning we participated in the weddings of three
families of investigators. Then in the evening we participated in their
baptisms. We had what is call a "white night". A night when lots of people get baptized.
There were a total of 7 baptisms. Lots of missionaries in the past have worked
hard for this night. Everyone is a part
of helping these investigators get to this point. I was privileged to be here
for their baptisms.
A great week,
Best Week Yet!!!
Love, Elder
Rucker
