The home stretch!


hey guys, how's it going? I didn't think I needed to elaborate on last week. It was just a week full of really good hopes that all fell through. Seemed like the more I tried the more it fell apart type thing. This past week though, this past week was good. It started off super strong with Monday and Tuesday. We were shooting for a 30 lesson week. we lost momentum in the middle and picked it up at the end. It feels good to have stuff work out. Slow weeks are more heavy the closer you get to going home. We've got some good new investigators coming out of the work though. I'm excited. and this past week we had a really good heart to heart lesson with Two guys, chuukese, Jay and YJ. 19 and 17 respectively. two brothers. No addictions, but they've done stupid things. Jay is actually almost exactly like me. Just I grew up in the gospel and he didn't. these guys are like brothers to me and I've been working with them since I got here. We just barely picked up YJ last week and that was the push Jay needed. They both accepted baptisimal dates. I'm way excited. Thats the highlight of my week. I'm just working on puttin out these last two months. They're kinda bittersweet. I don't want to leave Saipan. But I'm super excited for my post mission life. I've made such good friendships with this ward. One of the youth richard who comes with us all the time is moving to idaho next year with a family in the ward. before he goes on his mission. He's yapese but he's got dreams and he'll make them happen. I told him he could fly into uah cause it'd be cheeper and him and I would rode trip up to idaho seeing some other people along the way. Yes bring me some clothes. and the puppies are way cute. Thanks for nameing Maui Maui. I thikn the name fits. I guess he's my replacment yah? Aight guys, take care. I love you guys. shoots. -Elder Lapeyrouse
