"We have continued to teach those kids we met a few weeks ago. I’m not sure how the missionaries forgot about them. You’re probably right with missionaries talking with them and the elders got transferred to a different area and didn’t tell anyone. We have an area book we are suppose to fill out and it shows everyone that is taught even if they end up not becoming members it still talks about the people and how the lessons went so I bet elders got lazy and didn’t put anything down. This week while teaching them both said they want to be baptized which is amazing. One of the brothers came to church this Sunday and he has a desire to be taught and be baptized as well. So this week me are setting up a date for the baptism. One of the families are interested about hearing the gospel so last night we went to their house and they are such an awesome family. I don’t know if they have a desire to be members but they wanted to learn more so we will keep teaching them. I think the main reason they want us over is because they love Americans because the mom fed us so much when we went over. I was so full when we left the house,lol. It was a much wealthier family. I’m happy that at least they support the sons decision to become a member. So sometime this month we should have 3 new members. I hope I get to stay in this area so I can be here for the baptism because transfers are next week and I could get moved to a different area. 2 of the kids wanted me to baptize them but if I go to a different area I wont be able to. So hopefully I will stay. If not they are awesome kids and they will like the new missionaries who come in. We haven’t had anymore soccer games but I believe we have a big one every month so we should have one in the next few weeks. I don’t think I will get picked last again,lol =).

I don’t have a whole lot more to write about but I forgot to tell about our crazy bus ride back from the sweat shop. We took a bus out there but it dropped us off on the freeway so we could easily get to the shop. And we had to cross the highway and jump the middle guard,lol. On the way back we just stood on the side until vans drive bye and pick us up. We jumped in a van and 8 of us jumped in and there were 20 people in one van. I was slumped over because my head was hitting the roof and I couldn’t sit and we were listening to this crazy Arabic music. Then we got a flat tired going super fast down the road and I don’t know how we didn’t turn sideways. It was crazy!! Luckily there were 8 missionaries in the van I think that’s why we made it safely to the side of the road. From there we just jogged back into town and got lunch and now here I am writing to you =)."
