Rock Can't Get Baptized

   One more week has come and gone! This week is transfers week and I am staying in Mobile for another transfer but Elder Hadden will be leaving for the last 40 days of his mission and go to Tallahassee. I love Elder Milne. I am getting Elder Joshua Wright....my district leader in the MTC, I really wanted to serve with that kid and now we will be hitting our year marks together, I am really excited about this next transfer! This past week was pretty good. Monday we had a really really hard lesson. We were teaching Rock and for the past few weeks we have been teaching him the gospel of Jesus Christ but we are teaching it principle by principle. This last week was Baptism. The lesson was fantastic and he said he was willing to make the change if his wife was willing to and then we had to drop a bomb on him...he can't get baptized for a few more years because of some problems he has had in the past so we had to tell him that. Luckily president smith is working with us to get it approved via first presidency. Really really hard lesson for me to swallow! After that lesson we went up to Grovehill to spend the night and then go to their district meeting in the morning. I had an amazing tradeoff there with Elder Douglas, I have some gorgeous pictures from that neck of the woods but will have to send it next week, i would buy that property up there any day...the people are little crazy but i love them! We had a tradeoff with Monroe A on Thursday and oh man was it crazy! We left about 10 minutes late and when we were about 20 miles out of Mobile we came to a dead stop! We were stopped for about 2 hours and found out later that 2 semi trucks crashed blew up and that 1 died. We were so lucky that we didn't get caught in all of that. We did a church tour with the jones family which went well but their commitment level always changes, the one who is on line for where they should be is Darius, the first kid we talked to. I love and miss y'all, wish i could tell you more but i have to go help Elder Hadden pack!
