Sup kiddies.

It's hot and humid here.

Gross.

Lets get down to business.

So!

This week was intense. Like, Magnum P.I. intense. (I have no idea what I'm saying.)

Anyways!

"Carmelite Saint-Aubain, Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen."

(I think thats how it goes...)

We had a baptism! Carmelite is the sweetest woman in the world. She's had it rough, But we've been with her every step of the way the last like 4 weeks we've been working with her. Shes a saint. She's a Haitian woman, who grew up in Brooklyn, and she doesnt like speaking Creole with us, but she speaks it just fine. It's pretty weird haha. She's got a bunch of kids, and we're going over later today, to get all of her kids set up with baptismal dates for this weekend! Super excited. Ray a 17 year old recent convert baptized her. He's from Cuba, and the only member in his family. He's a super trooper. I love this kid! Anyways..

I've seen so many miracles out here. We just saw 1 actually. Carmelite hasn't had it easy with her finances, and we've all been praying really hard for a miracle for her. Monday at 12:30 (Just 10 minutes ago) She would have been evicted, and had to live in a shelter. But! She just called, and everything worked out. Shes good. God has blessed her. Fasting, Prayer... They work.

So, last week's email was probably hard to understand. I have a hard time describing myself, and my emotions. But, That experience was basically when I knew without a shadow of a doubt, that I've walked down a path where theres no coming back. I know that Christ lives, and that His church has truly been restored on the Earth. I know with all of me, that fact. And, because I know that. I cannot deny it. No matter what happens, It would be the biggest lie I could ever make if I said otherwise. I know that It is true. All of it. And I cannot deny it.

I don't know what else to talk about!

Hmm.

We've just spent this whole week basically working our butts off, and I'm feeling the missionary fatigue. It feels good. It feels exhausting beyond all description, but its perfect. I wouldn't have it any other way. The fruits of our efforts are the in lives we change. We are doing the Lords work, and I vowed I wouldn't ever give up. Not even if I can't take another step! I'm going to take that step, and I'm going to love every second of it.

Elder Owens is now just "Joey."

That punk.

Some members in the ward added him on Facebook this Sunday (He immediately accepted their request.) And his status was "Waking up at 10:00am... Priceless." It was hilarious, but a massive rub in our faces!

Oh well. Like I said, I like feeling exhausted. It means I'm doing my job. If I wasn't on the verge of collapsing, Im probably not working hard enough! haha

It's so freaking hot and sticky. It's nasty. The last week its progressivly gotten hotter, and more humid. My sweater is far from me now.. Every time I step outside now, my glasses instantly fog up, and I go blind. It's really frustrating. It's like nature is against me.

Elder Hoole says most missionaries here that need glasses, either don't wear um, or they wear contacts. The fogged lenses is super annoying, but I have to wear them! I'm blind both ways though, so I dont know what to do. Contacts? Those things are my greatest foe... I loathe them. But If this whole fogged lenses things keeps going I'm going to have to come up with a game plan. Any suggestions?

I don't know what else to say.>>>>W.tfa sfqwtgeuiw98yqwrfjsdgnjmfds9`104r(U%TGFMMgggklfmfd alsfhasfjpoaq

hmm.

Okay, heres something.

I'm not one to bash another's beliefs, but I heard something yesterday that's made me really sad.

As Elder Hoole and I were walking home yesterday, a woman was coming out of our neighbors house. Our neighbors kids were running around and saying their goodbyes to the woman. It appeared that the woman and our neighbor just got done with a bible study or something. The older woman turned one of the Children and said "Be obedient so that Jehova will love you!" with a cheer in her voice. (Jehova's witness..)

That hurt me. This isn't a bash, but let me say something here,

Jesus loves EVERYBODY. Even if you're disobedient! He loves you. He loves you so much he suffered for every sin, pain, and grief' you'll ever face in your life. He loves you so much it cannot be described. He suffered incomprehensible pain for all of us. He bleed at every pore for us. All so we could overcome these pains. These sins, and these griefs, and live free from them! Overcome the pain! And live in happiness! He died so that we could live again, and live in happiness for an eternity...

His love is not conditional.

And it will NEVER be.

He will love you no matter how far you stray.

His love for you is infinite.

No matter how rebelious and disobedient you might be. He loves you. He might be dissapointed because he knows you can do better. But His love is not conditional.

Ever.

Never forget that He loves you.

He loves you so much.

He's never far.

If any of you feel lost, or afraid, or as if you are alone.

He is there.

You are never alone.

If you call, he will answer.

Nan non JeziKri, amen.

I love you all.

Forgive me if this letter is lacking at all.

I love you Mom, Dad, Lisa, Kate, Friends, Families, Babies, Girls, Kittens, and Zombies.

I love you all so much.

I really hope to hear from you all soon.

Steph!
