Yo what’s up guys?!

Happy Birthday MOM!!!!!  So cool I get to email you on your birthday!!  I had an awesome week.  I tell you all about it in my recording, but I had an incredible miracle this week. I grabbed a super hot pan and it sizzled my hand.  It hurt so bad, but I got a blessing and the pain instantly left!  It was amazing!  It feels a ton better!!! The priesthood is so real man holy cow!!!  Instant healing!!! It was the best miracle!!  The Lord is so awesome! We also got commitments from the young investigators I’ve been teaching since I got here that their parents want them to be baptized.  It was awesome!  We also had 8 investigators at church!  It was such a great week!  I did experience something really scary though.  So saturday night when we were coming home we were in way bad traffic and we got to this intersection and a bunch of people were crowding around and putting sticks on the ground to get the cars to go around this dude that had just laid his bike and was just chillin in a pool of blood.   It was nuts man and then Sunday morning the same thing happened.  I got in traffic on the freeway cuz this giant camion truck smashed the front of this baka and all the people were just out on the side of the road laying down holding their heads and stuff in pain and the driver was pinned in the front seat with the smashed front end gashed into his legs pinning him in and all these people were wedging crap in the front door to try to free him and his shirt was just covered in blood along with the door.  So yeah pretty nuts!  It was crazy.  Makes me not want to get into another car here! Please pray for me.  It was intense hahahaha! I bet it scared the heck outta Elder Morrell hahahahaha! It will for sure be something I don’t forget.   I was thinking I wanted to buy a motorcycle when I got home.  Yeah never will I ever own one!!! It was pretty nuts but it actually didn’t really phase me hahahah  Don’t worry I’ll be safe. I got a giant legion of angels by my side!! I wear a seatbelt whenever I’m in the front seat.  Problem is the ones in the back don’t have seatbelts, and it’s impossible to walk where we need to go hahahaha! The other thing is I’ve been so tired lately.  Driving an hour every morning and every night is making us so tired.  I’m just dying hahaha  I’m gonna talk to the guys tonight and see what they think about doing prayers earlier so we can go to bed earlier.  Anyway, the life of a missionary!  Hahaha Tomorrow we have the conference with Elder Katcher, the Area President.   I’m so stoked!!! Gotta get up at 5AM though, so I’m gonna die hahahhahahaha I try to do my best!!!  My legs have been hurting a lot lately like growing pains hahaha or probably just from walking?!  Another funny thing is I’m to the point that I don’t like AC hahaha I’m gonna freeze my butt off when I get home hahaha  Oh, and send tons of the starburst chews and jolly rancher chews!  Those were so good!!!  I also LOVED my cheesecake!  It was super rich, but soooo good.  Americans eat so much sugar!  Hahaha  So this week I need you to pray that fr Loïc and sr Cynthia can get baptized this sunday with fr cyrille and that we can get fr Rodrigue ready for baptism and that fr chris and sr victoir can get baptized and that their parents will soften their hearts!   We also have this guy I forget his name, but he just came from Nigeria.  I told you guys about him a few weeks ago but he has been transferred to our ward because we have more english speakers so yeah pray he can be baptised soon and that he can find work and a place to live cuz he is still homeless on the streets.   It is so sad man!! He has so much faith! Man he is gonna be baptised way quick!  I hope we can have 8 baptisms this month! I will try my best!!!!!  Its my birthday month so man i gotta kill it!!

Well family have an awesome week!  I love you soooo much!!  

Love,

Elder LeBaron
