Hello folks,

I'm not really sure what happened to the e-mail from last week, but we sure enjoyed the pictures of the birthday. Anyway, this week Dad told Elder Frogley about his trip out to see us for Kathryn's baptism and Ben's blessing. Mom, Christian, Jessica, Jami, Jason, Addi, and Caden all came, too. It was a blast. Meanwhile, Elder Frogley has a run-in with some gun-wielding druggies, one whom his companion had taught previously.

Wow, trip sounded pretty tight! Im jealous! Life here is pretty chill right now. Its been raining alot. Adding on to the house eh? sweet! Shoot me some pics! The Birthday party was pretty great! Ya dont need to worry about me, the members take care of me. Speaking of that I have a story for you and Christian that Mom wont want to hear! We were talking to some members out on the street in the Grota. We were on this tiny little stare case inbetween houses, then suddenly people in houses below us started running into their houses and closing the door, naturely we were curious. Then we see these 4 guys walking up the stairs, one with a sawed off shot gun and one with a hand gun. we just sat there and tried not to stare at them. They passed and one of them tapped my comp on the shoulder and said whats up, which my comp calmly responded to, cause hes pretty use to that from California. Apparently the guy was a guy he had taught one time. They were all looking for a guy that had stolen some drugs or something. Crazy stuff! I have some statistics for you when I get back, I tell you about the crazier stuff in a few years. Just know that people love us and were safe. So as far as the work, were trying to get this women to let us baptise her daughter. Her other, older daughter was already baptised, but she thinks that the younger one isnt ready yet. But the older daughter said that her Mom had changed since the last time we visited so were going back to mark the baptism. Hopefully all goes well! Im close to the end of the transfer and its verry possible that Ill train next. Im kinda nervous! Love you guys and Ive got some pics to send!
