Hey everyone!
The winter hasn't really hit here
yet and the fall was kind of weak but that's ok the weather is still nice and
we haven't had to layer up too much yet actually just a jacket here and there.
Well, Halloween has come and gone
we weren't really allowed to do much proselyting on Halloween so we studied at
the church and made candied bacon and hires root beer! great time! One of the
member families stopped by to pick something up and they talked us into trying
this pepper that one of the other elders had.... big mistake haha! It was a
ghost pepper which is the second hottest pepper in the world aka the Bhut
jolokia pepper... google it... it set us on fire for nearly an hour and we ate
the smallest bite. So that was basically our Halloween, a lot of screaming and
ice cream and washing the eyes out of elder arnold who decided to rub his eyes
after partaking... 
We have a lot of fun serving here
together. There's always a lot of stress that comes with missionary work but
the good times always out weigh the hard times and you always are learning and
becoming more like the savior day by day. We are pretty low on investigators
right now, but our hope and faith is high that the lord will help us to find
those that are prepared. Maria is progressing very slowly, her traumatic
childhood and life up to this point prevents her from learning concepts quickly
so we have to be patient and help introduce the atonement in her life one step
at a time. She will get there. We also are preparing a training this week for
our zone conference. We are training on how goals help us o focus our sights on
the most important thing. Pray for us! we are going to need it. We had a
meeting with president irion and the stake presidency yesterday a meeting with
the missionary higher leadership tomorrow and zone conf on thursday... meeting
after meeting after meeting... haha gotta love it. Love you and remember to
focus your sights on the most important things!
Good better best!
Love,
Elder R.A. Bakker
