haha dont worry mom. i have my own countdown. i try not to think about it but it just happens! time is going by so fast!! so this week was pretty cool. we went to nola for ztm and i bore my go home testimony to the zone!! it was really cool because i got to hang out with elder ainge again and i called elder wilson while i was giving my testimony so he can hear it and i cracked a joke during the testimony and heard his stupid laugh and i couldnt help myself and i burst into laughter for like a minute! its getting really hard to stay focused out here. i cant stop thinking about RC and all that stuff! so we went to marias house and taught them about repentance and we decided that it would be better for us to wait for her mom to get ready for baptism as well so we can dunk them together. so we wont have the baptism this week. but we are still working with them. haha there is this guy in our branch who has high functioning autism and last week during confrence when president monson and the twelve walked in he stood up and did the nazi salute whilst saying "heil monson!" "heil the twelve!" and we were dying laughing!! it was hilarious!! good thing it was just the missionaires though. and yesterday during fast and testimony meeting he goes up to bear his testimony and he was like "im sure the missionaries can agree with me here. the people who oppose the prophets dont want me in salt lake because if i was there i would pile drive them into their seats for what they do!" the whole congregation (of 3 people minus the missionaries) couldnt contain themselves! hes a funny guy. well thats about it i think ill talk to yall next week! elder horrocks

alright well this week was a pretty cool week! not much happened but i just wanted to let yall know that im still working hard! so last week we had an awesome member with our investigator maria and we talked about baptism and it was such a spiritual lesson!! after the lesson we were telling her about how the lord helps out those who follow his comandments and prepare a way for them and then we asked her to be baptized and she was like... DUH!! so we asked her if she can commit to the 15th of october and she was so excited! also general confrence was like way cool. i think my favorite talk was by linda reeves! i cant really remember any of the talks but i do remember that they were all very good!!! i was hoping that they would have talked about the flooding here and how the helping hands was a big blessing to louisiana but that didnt happen. so maybe they will talk about it in april or something. well thats about it for all this week. not really much to talk about this week. love yall and i hope yall have a good week! here are teh pictures of our fishing extravaganza
