Well it was a good week. J-- was baptized on sunday, he asked me to baptize him. He was so excited. What was great was C-- A-- and I-- attended the baptism and while we were chagning they had people bear their testimonies and I-- got up right as I came out and he bore an extrememly touching testimony. We had 8 inv at the baptism and afterwards all their kids (6 kids) came up and were like that was sooo cool, I want to be baptized. A-- recieved the priesthood and C-- got a calling, she will be working in the primary. She is excited but nervous. I called her last night to tell her I didn't get transferred and that I heard she had recieved a calling and she was like "I dont know how to teach kids Gospel stuff. I told her it would be good practice. We had dinner with them on monday and I-- all excited says "Elder Jolly I am getting married!" I looked at him shocked because I had no idea he was dating anyone. I said wow to who? He replied "I dont know yet but its going to be next year in the temple". I said You don't know who? and he told me No but it will be in the temple and you have to come. I told him I would definitely come. It was cool to see him so excited about getting married in the temple. We have some recent converts in our branch of about 1.5 years and they just got the recommend to go to the temple and they were so excited. He was like Elder Elder I am going to the temple soon I just got my recommend and I am going to be sealed to my family! Blessings of the Gospel. Last week Pres called us and asked to be put on speakerphone. He said Elders I ussually like to call with good news but not this time. Salt Lake City wants to retire your car. Like half the mission cars are going to Church Headquarters to be sold. Sad day. We did some reorganizing of furniture in our house to open it up a bit and make it more friendly, it was a fun task. Anyway that was about my week. The work was a little slow but it was still rather enjoyable. Until next week, love you all.
Elder Jolly
