Week 9 in Provo

We had our first baptism on Saturday, which was AWESOME! Anthony is super cool. He absolutely loves the church, and now he's officially a part of it. Elder Gallegos is holding his iPad with one of the previous missionaries that taught Anthony before we came along. It was really great to see how happy Anthony was to be baptized. There were also a ton of people that came to see him!

Earlier in the week, we did a whole lot of service. We helped Anthony out with a service project he had to do, which was cleaning up a park. We also helped a family spread mulch around in their front yard. That doesn't sound like much, but they have a really big yard! He works on the audio for church films, and he also owns a business.

Here in Provo, we get fed a ton. We eat with members for dinner every night except Mondays, and we often get something even if we're not actually having dinner somewhere. Yesterday, for example, we stopped by a member's house to talk about some investigators, and before we had left, we had had a glass of milk and two cookies! It's crazy all the food we get.

Anyway, I'm about out of time for emailing today. This was kind of a shorter email, but I'll try to say more next week!
