Happy Easter!!!!
Easter was pretty good! We had a good Sacrament meeting here in good ol Lawrenceville and Larane was able to make it to church again which means she meets all the requirements for Baptism! She got interviewed last week from our District Leader and passed it. She is getting very excited for Saturday, so if ya'll want to come to it it will be at 3pm on Saturday the 14th at the Lawrenceville Branch Meetinghouse :) hahah Just kidding! I will be Baptizing her on Saturday and will be confirming her on Sunday if she wants me to do it also. We've been teaching her for 11 weeks and she is now ready! It has been so cool to watch her testimony grow and see her become more interested in learning more about the Gospel. She participates in Sunday School and also participates in Relief Society and has made many friends in the branch. Im so excited for her!!!!
I got the Easter Package from you guys! Thank you so much for the iPod touch!! I love it and you put some pretty good music on there! I don't know about the music from like 1994 though, that is kinda weird! haha but I enjoy listening to everything on it! Thank you so so much Steve!!! I also got the package from Grandma and Grandpa on Saturday :) Thank you! Had a lot of goodies in there! and thank you Paulette for all the skottie dogs :) delicious! and they are already gone! hahahahah. Yesterday after church we went over to a members house for Easter lunch/early dinner. They gave us little Easter baskets with candy in it, so that was nice of them. After we ate, Bro. Andrews took us out to see all his animals. He has horses, cows, goats, bunch of chickens, pigs, donkeys, and dogs. He told us that every night he goes out there to call the cows in to milk them. I said "I wanna milk a cow!" So he called them in, and about 5 minutes later, here they came walking in to get milked. It was so cool! He let me manually milk them for a little bit and then he put the machine on them! It was hard to get the technique down at first, but once I got it, I had no problem milking that thing! My hand is sore today from milking it though and Elder Buckley was able to take some sweet pictures of me doing it. When I was milking it, I pointed the nipple towards me and squirted some in my mouth. It didnt even taste that bad, just a little warm and creamy, thats it. haha Most of it got all over my face, pants, tie, and shirt. It was a lot of fun out at the Andrews yesterday for Easter. They are also feeding us next sunday and hopefuly we can harvest some chickens :)I want to cut a chickens head off before I leave the country area :)
At zone meeting on Friday, my Zone Leader accidently broke the news to me that I will be getting transferred to Manchester Ward. That's where I was at during Leadership Training a couple weeks ago and I am so excited!!!! I will be with Elder Cook (former AP) and Elder Biscocho. Threesome!!! It will be so much fun! I will be in Petersburg on Thursday, so tell Tenneal to let her cousin know, or give me his/her phone number or something. That would be cool to meet her/him! Petersburg is definitely the rougher part of Virginia, and Bryce Ricks told me to stay away from it before I came out. hhaha go figure I would be serving in the same District that Petersburg is in. I love it there though. Petersburg is a really cool area with a lot of history.
Did you like the bunny pictures? hah I thought you'd like them! I'm still waiting from Bro. Van Winkle to get the CD with them on it. It was funny! Elder Buckley and I had a good time. We went over there to take the pics after the Elders Quorum breakfast. We had a lot of non members there and we ended up giving a church tour to a couple of them. It was pretty cool! I had never done a Church tour before. We cooked pancakes, waffles, hashbrowns, eggs and biscuits. We had about 35 people there and had a good time with everyone.
We havent met with the Edmonds for a couple weeks. They had some family stuff going on and we havent been able to set a time to go over there. We plan on stopping by tonight though on our way home. Hopefully they will be there. No progress with Marcus' wife. But Marcus blessed the sacrament for the first time yesterday. I sat up there with him to walk him through it and he did great!!! It was awesome! Marcus is so awesome and he is bummed that I'm leaving. I will definitely miss him, but I am definietley going to stay in contact with him!
This morning I had to go to the Dentist again! Last week during exchanges, I was playing my jaw harp (look it up on youtube or something) and Elder Pickup was like "arent you supposed to pull it out and flik it inward? And I said no and tried to prove him wrong. well, I pulled it out and flicked it in and the stupid thing hit my front tooth! It hurt so bad and I chipped off a little piece of it! I called President Evans up who is the dentist in the Lawrenceville Branch and he said that I could come in on Monday to get it fixed. That thing was so sensitive all weekend and it hurt to eat anything. I went in this morning to get it fixed, and he put a little bit of filling stuff on there and went on my way! It's nice to know a Dentist out here that does missionary dental work for free. I'm sure it would've easily been a couple hundred dollars or something.
Well I gotta go for now!! I hope ya'll have a good safe week!! Love you all!!!
Love, Elder Baldwin
