Email from Oct 1

hey mom,

so this week was cool. i dont remember anything the weeks feel like days right now its amazing. all i can remember is that we went on splits twice this week again. i love splits! (sarcasim) but they do make the week go by a lot faster. i had to go to yamoransa to do a baptisimal interview. it was pretty cool i got a chance to be with my old mtc companion elder ighama. he is the district leader in yamoransa. he has changed a lot since the mtc. we had a good time. we had our baptism on saturday. it went well. saturday was really crazy. they had a funeral at the chaple in the morning. and their funerals arnt like the ones that we have at home. they are really loud. then we had our baptism and then there was a wedding at the chapel. again their weddings are really loud. and yamoransas church building ran out of water so they had to come and have their baptism at our chapel during the wedding reception. the spirit wasnt there at all.

yeah its october! im going crazy right now. if time keeps going this fast im going to be done in no time. i dont really know if that is a good thing or not. i dont want to wish way the last months of my mission i like the work that we are doing here and its only a short time that i will never get back but im still excited.
