Helloooo, Yeah, the picture of the snake was stinking HUGE. I was blown away. That's pretty sweet that Savannah is at EFY again. EFY is super fun. Weird that she's up there alone now though. It's weird because I've heard about all the changes, like Breeann being in Louisiana and Aunt Jen being in California but they're not really real because I haven't experienced them yet. That car looks super nice. Super blessed. I can't believe Dad is going to be 50 on Tuesday! You guys aren't old, don't worry. Oh, something exciting that happened this week was I got Grandma Sem's package! THANK YOU. I've almost finished a whole pack of Oreos and it's only been two days. My companion and I will also be living off that spaghetti for the next two days so that's nice. As far as money goes, if you wanted to send me more you can send it through something called western union. I don't know exactly how the whole process works but that's what all the missionaries can do to get money from home so I can ask someone and do it no problem. Let me check how much I have and come up with the list of souvenirs and everything I need to buy and tell you how much I might need. I've been locating all the sweet souvenir places. Anyway, this last week was a pretty interesting one. We spent the whole week seeing all these people we found and getting them really excited about church and when Sunday came not a single person showed up... what? This is the first time on my whole mission that I've had no investigators at church. It was pretty frustrating because we were expecting like 8 people or so and they ALL didn't come. We went to see everyone and some of them actually had some pretty crazy things happen to them. Some of them were just lazy so we'll probably drop them. But I guess it just showed me that I still have lots of work to do and if I get lazy in anyway I'll have to suffer for it! Not that I really feel that I've been lazy but it was a good little learning experience anyway. One sweet thing that happened this week was that we had a baptism! We found this new spot in the river and the place has nice clear water and it's seriously just like a gorgeous place to baptize someone. We baptized this older like 55 year old lady that I think I talked about before. She had been praying to know which of all the many churches to join and one day she felt that she should come to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and she has come over since! Pretty sweet. Another sweet thing is that the district leader in our zone is in Kossoh Town (My first area) so when we do interviews for them I get to go there and sometimes I run into people that I taught or baptized. It's pretty cool. This last Sunday though I ran into the first person I ever baptized on my mission. It was pretty cool because she was excited to see me and I was excited because I could finally understand what she was saying and I was confused that I was ever not able to understand her Krio because it was super clear. But seriously, I couldn't understand a single word she said. At all. Guess it shows that I've finally learned the language. Haha. The week was nice and this next week will be sweet because we'll have 1000 people at church and 2456 people converted. No problem. I love you all and will talk to you next week! Love, Elder Stewart P.S. Send me any more ideas for souvenirs that you might want! Pictures -I learned some cool poses here. Also, I'm wearing my super sweet homeboys. Yeaaaaaaahhh.
