So apparently not everyone has been getting my emails, I apologize my phone is very funky so I will be having my amazing mother send them out so don't reply to her reply to me :) 

 

 

Anyway with that out of the way, I guess to start, Last Sunday (not yesterday) I had my first baptism! Granted she was 9 and already wanted to be baptized but since she was 9 she had to go through missionary lessons (I don't know why I don't make the rules). Regardless she is so sweet and her name is Emily, it was her own decision and not her parents which really made it that much more special. 

 

 

My companions and I are doing really well in Gig Harbor, it is the richest area in the mission so you know we are getting fed and getting stuff from the members, we have a really nice house as well. 

 

 

Everyday gets a little bit easier. It's been really hard to leave everything behind and focus on one thing (focusing for me is hard in general I guess) but I have gotten a lot better at it. The way I see it now is the time I have right now is not mine it's God's so I can forget my wants for now and focus on what the Big Man wants. 

 

 

I like to keep these emails short but I also love reading responses. I love you all and don't be afraid to reach out even if we haven't talked in a while. As always here are some pictures 

 

 

With Love

Elder Welder
