10/15/2012: the chef got baptized!

welp, our chef got baptized on saturday!!! woohoo!!!! It was awesome! he wanted a small baptism, so about 13 ppl were there. Elder Duke baptized him, and I confirmed him on Sunday :) I think that he is the most prepared individual I have ever seen, no joke. He just loves the Book of Mormon... he can't get enough of it! They invited us over for dinner tonight, we are having ribs and steak :O

in Elders Quorum yesterday, they passed around a sign up sheet for the chili cook off on the 27th and i looked at him and was like, "hmm... i wonder who is gunna win???" and he laughed and signed up. He already has an interview with the bishop to talk about him getting the aaronic priesthood :) He is going to be an awesome and strong member!

as for our actress, she is SUPER busy with her shows right now :( but we still keep in touch with her. she wasn't able to come to church yesterday because she was so busy.

It seems like once i leave everything starts happening... on Nov 7th Elder Christofferson is coming out to organize another stake in our mission :) woo!! go missionaries! also, Elder Perkins (from priesthood session) is coming to our mission in november as well... why couldn't they have done this in october!! It kind of hit hard yesterday just how little time i have left on my mission. We were over at some members' home for dinner, and when we were leaving brother _____ and i realized that this was the last time we were going to see each other, he is deploying on saturday. so he looked me in the eye and just said, "have a good life okay??" and i just looked at him like... holy cow... its starting to become real now. I LOVE this family. Brother _____ is Haitian and speaks like 8 languages... no joke haha. he is awesome. and Sister ______ is a Californian, so we always talk about cali.

its weird though... just gotta work hard. Elder Duke and I planned that my last week we are just going to work as hard as we can... like we never have before... go out with a bang! i hope all is well back home!!! i love y'all!!! Cardon and I can have an eating contest! i love y'all!! stay classy!

Peace out girl scouts!

Elder Cawley
