Hey, sorry for the shor leter last week. this week my computer is
really slow, but im writing u first, and i told people that aren`t
immediate family i can`t email them any more. well this was a very
productive week.  before i forget i do need u to check on my
scholarship, i turned in everythng but i don`t know if it went
through.  anyway i have a very long leter for u, that ill get in the
mail today hopefully. there isn`t a postoffice in my area so i guess
it is very hit an miss when i can send mail cause the president has to
approve it.  but this last sunday we had 20 investigators in church,
which i s awesome, and we have 13 people with baptismal dates, which
is also great.  this last saturday we didn`t baptize cause they all
got moved back to the 26 of this month, i think we have 6 and then
like 10 more for april.  well i guees my companion was using the phone
too much or something cause we had an emergencyu exchange last night
and i now have a new companion. this will be intereseting because
neither of us know our area very well.  but he is another really cool
elder.  i really liked my other one too, and we accomplished a lot of
good things together and he taught me alot, but hes in a place outside
the city now. oh well.  we  have been teaching this lady that is 21,
and has a young baby, her sisters family are recent converts, and she
lives with them, this last week we had a great time with her, at the
beginnign of the week we had a great lesson, but at the end, she said
she didn`t want to be baptized, and didn`t think that there were
prophets , but a couple days, and lot of prayters later, she had a
change of heart. i think it helped that her baby was sick so we gave
it a blessing and she got better. the following day we had another
great lesson for her, and she committed to be baptized and saked me to
do it, so i was really excited about that.  i explain this story
better in the letter, but theres not a ton of time for it on here.
anyway, everything here is going well, i love the people, the food, my
comp, and the language is coming more everyday.  and tell the young
mens president, i can`t remember his name!!  but tell him that i take
the first shower every morning haha hell appreciate that.  he was my
mission prep teacher, kinda big guy, you know him. any way, tahnks for
everything.elder donaldson
