Guess February is almost over now.  Next week is March.  Glad everyone had a great week.  This week was super busy.  We had some going home missionaries staying with us and it was transfers and busy stuff.  This week should be a little calmer but probably I’m not counting on it.  March is going to be pretty busy too.  I'm exhausted.  All day Saturday and Sunday I was dropping off during our lessons.  It was pretty bad.  They were some pretty hard nodding off and blacking out for about 2 seconds.  Pushing on though.  

Transfers were great.  It's weird that that was my last transfer I will be able to attend.  It would have been the last time I see almost everyone in the mission except we are having a mission tour with Elder Curtis in 2 weeks so I'll see everyone again then.  Then it will be the last time.  I had a really nice experience at the Temple this week when we took the going home missionaries.  I loved it.  

We did some of our own pruning today too Dad!  We have a big mango tree in the compound and the goats need some food so our landlady asked us to cut down some branches for it.  This goat is evil.  It charges me almost every day.  I have to grab it by the horns and fight it around a little bit but I always win, well almost.  He did get me once from behind in the leg.  That sucked.

This week we Skype taught a woman in Germany!   The woman said she didn't understand English so randomly we got an email and set up a Skype lesson.  I'm glad I'm not in one of those advanced missions and ours is just simple.  Makes life easier.  

We had a great service project with a member in our area.  It was for a less active because she is unable to come to Church so we arranged to have another less active with a car come and start picking her for Church and now they both come and are great friends.  I love it!  She is a great woman.  We went and weeded at her house for about 3 hours on Friday morning.  Lots of people actually came and looked at all the white people weeding.   They loved it.  We are trying to get her to the Temple this week.  She has been working on her family history and just found a paper that her father wrote about her grandfather and great grandfather with cousins and everything with year and everything you need to do Temple work!!  That was so cool!!!  I live for little moments like that!

Love you all, have a great week!
