Cleaning the Font

My letter i wrote today describes it a little bit. i will send it later.  every one loves the idaho pins but turns out that the other elder from IF has the same ones and gives them out. he started doing it in the MTC  Elder Walker. is his name his dad was a seventy at one point.  well thats about it for today i will try to write a good letter cause so much has been happening that when i am done reading all my email i have forgoten what i was going to say in my email. 

Well bye for now 

love you Elder Ritchie

 

Simply put, this was a really stressful week. first problem was i was expecting changes tommorow turns out the Lord wants my comp hear for 7.5 months which is kinda rare, he was alot more stressed than i was though his blood presure has been really high and we went to a doctor lady in our ward and she gave him some weird pill thing, not sure what it is but it seems to work. 

 

the other reason for stress was we had three baptisms on saturday and if that wasn't enough, we had our entire district baptizing in the same two days and the font didn't work. this is after we had already opted not to use the font in our church cause the water in is dirty and it doesn't drain. the one we did use did drain but the water wasn't clean but we spent all thursday morning cleaning it and we cleaned it really good. we then went and got fam lara for their interviews at the church and luckily my comp decided to look at how amazingly clean the font was and to his surprise it had about 4 inches of filthy water in it. it was the drain that did not drain, it decided it wanted to do the job oposite of its intended purpose. so we had to go back that night again and clean the font again. less difficult but we also and to find a way to unclog the drain luckily we had hro lara with us our investigator who offered to help us clean, he works with problems like this all the time so he unclogged the drain for us.  we did manage to get them in the water even if it was really cold and with a different investigator from the other ward.

 

well, i am starting to relax, my comp is staying here with me and every thing worked out in the end.  not  to mention hno lara bore his testimony at the baptism and it was awesome.

 

well, other then that i played a really competitive game of basketball with some old guys. that was really fun

 

love you all!

do good for others!
