This week we have preparing for Juan's baptism! He will be baptized on Sunday and we have been struggling to teach him everything that he needs to be taught. This week we had a slight problem with mosquitos. Since Juan is a single man we teach him outside and for some reason the mosquito population of Paducah gathers right at Juan's house to listen to us teach. Well Hermana Stokes and I had prepared with some repellent but even then I counted at least 200 bites on her legs, arms, and head. I myself was bitten but it was nothing compared to hers. I have been trying to nurse her limbs back to health ever since.
It has been HOT in Paducah these days and our numbers have seen better days but we are happy missionaries. In all I would say that It was a good summer.
This Saturday we had our Pioneer activity in Mayfield. The whole stake gathered together to celebrate with some food and games. And then on Sunday Hermana Stokes and I got asked to give talks in sacrament meeting. We talked about hastening the work and aimed it toward the mission aged teens. We were each just suppose to take 10 min but I don't know what came over me and I above and beyond my time. That has never happened before which was why I was not very worried abut going over my time but not filling it up. Lets just say that when I finally sat down I was extremely embarrassed and probably wont ever get asked to give a talk again in this ward.
Well, that was it for this week. As I said to one of the recent converts in the ward, the life of a missionary rarely changes and I start to feel like my life is not as exiting as it was at the beginning.
Talk to y'all later!

PS I finally got my camera back! Here are some pictures of my silly companions and Hermana Winder and I at transfers.
