Oh Yeah, a baptism

Yo Fam Dizzle,

So, I finally took a couple pictures. I've been so busy and time goes by so fast that I can't keep anything straight or even think half of the time. One is of our Zone Leaders and my companion and I going to the driving rang on a P-Day and the other is of a baptism we had last week that I totally spaced on telling you...oops:) Like I said, we've been really busy and I can't think straight. The baptism went great! Brother Joe Steadman, a convert of a year and a half, baptized his children on 7 June 2008. Craig (10), Conner (10), and Summer (12) have been taught by us for a couple of months with the desire to be baptized. Here is a little background on the situation. Brother Steadman was married, had some kids, then was divorced and met a member of the church, was later baptized and married. Over time, he convinced his ex to allow their children to be baptized. She saw the improvement it made in his life and finally thought it would be okay for her children to join the church, so we entered the picture and taught the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now the kids are baptized and Brother and Sister Steadman will be sealed to eachother this weekend and we will be able to attend. Yeah, its pretty much just awesome!Besides that, its the same old same old. We have some really good investigators that will probably be baptized next transfer, so I probably won't be a part of it. I've been here for a quarter of my mission! When you're in a good area for so long it really grows on you. It will be way cool to come back in a couple years and see all the people in my Greenie area.So, the family sounds like it's holding together just fine. That blog about the tomatoes was super funny. I can totally picture Cassy and her expression in not liking tomatoes. It made me think of when you got the leftover cake at some church thing and she yelled, "We get the cake? Yay, we get the cake!" Oh yeah, We were talking to this girl on OU campus and she was from India, but she had the funniest voice. She was the voice of Minnie Mouse. It was the funniest thing, I was talking to someone while my companion was talking to her, so when I finished I went over to where he was and stood there while he was talking, then I heard her voice and man! it was hard not to laugh. That was a strange shock.Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Oompah Loompah's in the Temple, eh? haha! I think that's a really good idea to have the members take turns cleaning the Temple. Its a good experience for people and it helps people gain a greater respect for the building as they are a part of the cleaning. That's actually how the Temple here is cleaned too.I really liked Roger and Hillary's pictures by the Painted Ladies. San FranCisco has so many beautiful scenes. And it sounds like Sarah's doing well at the Gubler's. I hope your new office turns out great Randy. Thanks for all the e-mails and pictures!I love you all! Can't wait to hear back next week.

Love, Elder Osness
