We recently met with our stake president here to go over our zone/stake goals and concerns, and his name is President Humphreys, his mom still lives in Montpelier IDAHO, and he said that he grew up working in a podunk middle of nowhere place called GENEVA, and he couldnt believe it when i told him that i know where that is and that i have friends from there:-) It was neat, he knew alot of the older people from the valley.

This week i recieved a phone call from my last area that one of the investigators that wanted to be baptized but couldnt because he was on probation, was going to be baptized on last saturday, he was way cool, when we first found him he was in the pits, he was smoking, drinking, and sitting around all day long, he has since got his hair cut, cleaned up, broke all of his addictions, and basically changed his life around, it was sad that he couldnt get baptized, but he had a special interview with President Darrington, and was found ready and worthy to be baptized, and he had prayed about it and decided that he wanted me to baptize him, it is almost a two hour drive, but president gave me permission if i could find a ride from here with a priesthood holder, so i was able to go back to apopka this week and baptize him, it was a sweet reunion! I am really happy for him!
