Dear Family and Friends,

Crazy stuff this week! So in order to have Elder Wright at their baptism, our investigators that got baptized last week asked to move the baptism to last Tuesday night instead of Saturday! Their baptism was so awesome. They asked me and Elder Wright to baptize them and I could feel the Spirit so strongly. Their confirmation was yesterday at church and it was great too. 

So last Thursday Elder Wright and I drove to Dickinson to drop him off and pick up Elder Bewall. I'm confident that Elder Wright will sufficiently fill the role as Zone Leader in Rapid City! Elder Bewall is the bomb! He's way nice and he has such a strong desire and focus to find, teach, and baptize. He also LOVES to workout and he dragged around 210 pounds of weight equipment in his suitcases! He is way cool because he's totally jacked, but he doesn't workout for pride or vanity; he just has a passion! I'm learning Spanish with him and it's going swimmingly! I love it! My Spanish name tags should come in the mail shortly.

Today we are heading off to Bismarck for Tri-Zone Conference tomorrow. And guess what! We get to go to the temple afterward!! I'm am way excited to go for the first time after 9 long months! We are going to Minot today first to catch a ride from there to Bismarck with the Zone Leaders. Hopefully we can get to Minot a little early so we can have fun celebrating my 20th birthday today (keeping it missionary appropriate of course)! I cannot believe today my teenage years end...they have been inexplicably valuable to me in countless ways and I will miss them.

I love you all!
