10/22/12

Hello!
So, this week is transfers and it is craziness here. Some elders leaving earlier than they should, and one that maybe will go home today too. We were to get 12 new people on the mission and only 5 were supposed to leave, but now it looks like 8 or 9 will leave. So, the mission won't grow as much as we expected. Things are going well, just a little bit of stress dealing with some sad situations.
 We ended up finding a package from one of the kids that already left the mission.... We couldn't send it back to him so we decided to open it hahahaha. At least I took a vote of all of the people that were in the room. Everyone agreed and we ate some gushers and roll ups with peanut butter m&ms!
Not much is happening this week we have transfers, and maybe a baptism this Saturday. He is so ready, but just needs to trust a little bit more in Jesus Christ.
Don't even worry about sending the ballot, we have received some here, but there is no way that it will get to the elder in time for him to vote.
We are just finishing some last minute changes in the transfer and I just sent to copy our mission newspaper that we do every transfer.
There was a wedding and a baptism this week that we helped with. Wasn't ours, but it was fun to be there to help. They have been coming to church for a long time, just needed to get married (because they were living together) to be able to be baptized.
This week should be awesome, with the new missionaries coming in and some meetings that will happen. Also, I think we will start to plan a lot more in detail about Christmas.  
Oh, by the way, those little CTR bracelets that you sent, were perfect. We owed two sisters something for helping us with our last baptism, so I gave 2 to them and they loved it! You were inspired when you chose to put those in haha.
Anyway, hope everything is going well at home, any changes?
I am really happy to be on the mission. It is funny to think that I am so far from everything, but happy. Serving other people really does make a difference in our lives.
Love you guys!
ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
