well thats sad to hear how big the fire is. is it still going  a
little bit or not?? well im glad that everything has worked out, i was
sure ptaying a lpt for all of you this week. the fire even made the
news here. the people i eat lunch with were telling me about it.  well
this was a pretty crazy week!! first off i tried to send letters last
week, but the post office is on strike indefinitely so hopefully there
back in business and i can send them today. i didn``t get any written
on monday because when we got home i washed clothes for almost 4
hours, and as it turned out ended mçup making me sick.  but we worked
tuesday, and wednesday i was tired all day, i really didn+t have any
energy and felt like i was gonna pass out all day. nut it was a very
good day. we found a less active family that want to be reactivated
and they have a lettle daughter tyhat were gonna baptize next month.
when we were done teaching us they told us how theyd been praying for
the missionaries to find them and help them, so that was awesome,
especially because these people live out in the boondocks, and so to
get to there house we had to walk for 25 minutes, in the dark, out of
town, so i was beat when we got out there, but the lesson made it
worth it,  most of the people here live in little huts of 2x12s, and a
lot of them dont have electrcity in their homes, and they have to hall
water to bathe, was dishes, clothes and whatever esle.  so its pretty
humbling to be out here.  there are the houses that have everything a
normal house would have, but the majority dont have that..  wednesday
night i didn+t sleep very good because i had a headache all night and
my kneck was killing me, thursday i had a temp of 102.7 so we stayed
home, and i was in bed all day trying to deal with a migraine. mom, i
now know how u feel with those migraines!!! not fun at all.  but i got
the medicine i needed and a blessing and friday i was good to go.we
had a good baptism on saturday, lots of members showed up, and we had
some good refreshments. its always funny to me because we say, the
baptism starts at 5, but everyone that needs to be there never show up
entill 6 so we always start late.  but oh well, we had the baptism and
the confirmation yesterday so thats great.  one of the ward members
got his mission call. here the calls are sent to the stake center and
then to the bishop and the the person readds there call during
sacrament meeting, so that was kinda interesting.    when i got to the
internet place i had the package waiting!! so im real exvited to get
homw and open theat.  and i also had letters from, shawn, crick
martindell, sis beedle,sis eagar, danica grandma aunt chantelle, and
grammy and papa red, so thank u to everyone, ill get u all letters
written back in the next couple weeks for sure.  well congrats for
cass!! i was hoping for a nephew, but ill be happy with a niece just
the same haha well thanks for the love and support, and ill try to get
some pics sent via emal next week.  con amor, elder donaldson
