Are you enjoying the nice warm weather there?
No. If it were nice, I'd enjoy it. However, 100 degree weather is far from nice. ;) If you could, I'd appreciate a little of your weather in a box.

You guessed it, buzz cut!
What is the date of your next transfer and how many weeks do they go between transfers?
The next transfer is TOMORROW. Each transfer is six weeks, and I only have five transfers left of mission service. So, I'm probably going home on the 28 of August (if there's a five week transfer) or the 2 of September.
7 MONTHS
Anyway....

I feel as if I just got on Hansel and Gretel's bad side, because the best way to describe the conditions here is a state-sized oven. Really, heat isn't that bad for me, but right now, as my homeland is hitting record colds, we're passing through record heat over here. Everybody's dying, especially the missionaries.
OK, we're not dying yet, because Sister Wright (the Mission President's wife) has got us all so full of water we'd have to go a week without water before that happens. What's sad is that although we're ready to work, heat like this chases everyone away. But with a little work, we were finally able to chase down a few good people.
One of these people was the mother of our other investigator. We'd received as a reference, or in truth contacted her when we were taking her son to church and he wanted to stop by to grab a little cake before church. :3 When we first went to teach her, it seemed as if she had always been waiting for us. Although she claims not to learn very quickly, we taught almost all of the first three lessons, and she understood all of it! Not only that, she has an honest desire to know the truth and have a complete certainty of that. To show that, when we returned, she told us the story of how a good friend of hers warned her about receiving "the Mormons," and advised her to reject further visits of this "devil worshiping cult." Of course, this wasn't the first time I'd heard that false rumor, but always fear that others may believe it. However, in this case, our investigator simply looked her friend in the eye and said, "No, I don't believe they are. I felt better with them than I did anywhere else, and if them helping me to come unto Christ is wrong, I believe we believe differently." When she related us the story, she was still innocently confused about why her friend said that, so we simply asked her to ask God for an answer.
Well, time flies and you never see where it's going. This week is transfers again, and I have no idea where I'm going. So I guess that will wait until the next episode of...
