Dear family well this has been great so far. Well lets start off with last Saturday we were getting ready to leave and head over to Keyandra's house. We were on our bikes and we finally got there. We were just chillin and we started the Testament movie. Half way through the movie the power shut off. We looked out the window and the trees were swish swashing back and forth like rubber bands. I went outside and then I said we probably should see if we can get into your neighbors house just in case of a tornado. We were sitting out watching this when a tree behind her apartment broke and hit her roof then flew over our heads. We started to get a little more serious. We then went inside and said a prayer, well a couple minutes later the wind slowed down. We were going to try to get home but it was raining pretty bad so we waited it out. It finally slowed down enough to leave so we left. By Keyandra's house the road has a pretty good pitch slope to it so you don't have to peddle so Elder Henriquez was going pretty fast and tried to turn well his bike came out from under him and he went sliding for like 10 feet on his butt. I pulled up just laughing at him because he never thought he would of wrecked because he never does up him helmet. He was fine other than across the street was a family sitting on their porch looking at him so he was embarrassed. The next day all the trees from the night before were just trashed. All the cars and houses were smashed so after church we went over to Sister Colman's moms house to help get a tree off her truck. After that she invited us in for ribs, fish, beans, 2 different kinds of potatoes and a whole bunch of southern food. This lady was the biggest red neck I have ever met. She had some chew in but she was way nice. The stories she told were just hilarious. The next day was P-day well nothing too exciting we just played ball with the brothers. I rolled my ankle the first game so that day was pretty lame. The next day was the best ever it was Tuesday. We had a great day. We had a couple lessons with some members then we went and prepared the font for Keyandra. Yep Keyandra was baptized. She was so happy and still is. She just looks like a new woman. She came up after and told me thanks for everything. It was one of the best baptisms yet. We were pretty excited. This was a great week. Well it sounds pretty busy back at home. Spuds should be all in and the cabin should be about done so you guys are probably enjoying that. Well send some pics of wake boarding, cabin and all sorts of stuff. Well have a good week.

From Alli's letter
Well this week is what I needed this whole time. We had a great time at Keyandras baptism. Keyandra is a very spiritual girl so it was a very spiritual baptism. Well her mom came and she is just a big sized keyandra. So we talked with her for awhile. So we might start teaching her now. It would be so great because that is basically Keyandras whole family because she is the only child and her dad is in jail so if her mom was baptized her whole family would be members. So our plan is to teach her when we teach Keyandra so hopefully everything works out. But it makes me feel so good to see Keyandra shine she just is always smiling so it makes me feel great. That is what the mission is all about. She will be receiving the holy ghost on Sunday. It feels so good to get another baptism and to know that I helped someone who needed it. But at the same time I did not do anything because the holy ghost was there helping us and her to understand it was there the first time we met. She told us that she normally tells people like us to move on to the next house. She said there was something inside her that was telling her to let us in. So it was meant to be from the beginning. I just had the opportunity to be apart of it. So our next baptism is going to be Charline and Don Charline is sick and she was suppose to be dead 2 months ago. So then she calls us and ask if we will bring over a Bible and Book of Mormon. So she is looking for a church. She is also very sick so we might just barely have time to teach her. But I can't get a hold of her because her phone is dead and she had surgery 2 days ago So I'm kinda worried about her because she is a great lady.
