Hello! I am alive. This is the last week of the transfer (I’m very unlikely to be moved) and next transfer is my last :(
Andrew and Aden’s baptism is looking good for this weekend!
We’ve been meeting lately with a YSA aged girl named Milan from the college. She’s been doing awesome. She has been reading the Book of Mormon a lot. Her priest (her family is Catholic) has been telling her a lot of interesting things about us. She doesn’t believe them, which is good, but she will have a lot of family opposition to overcome.

We’ve been meeting a lot of catholics on campus lately. It usually goes like this:
“Hey! Would you mind answering the question on the board?”
“Sure, no problem”
“Cool. Are you very religious?”
“Not really”
“No worries! Our job is to help people become closer to God. What do you think that you need to do to get closer to him?”
[10 minute chat, lots of questions...]
“I’ve had a great time talking with you. You have some great questions that we would love to help you to answer. Can we schedule a time to meet this week and continue our conversation?”
“I would, but I’m Catholic.”
“Didn’t you say that you weren’t religious?”
“I’m not. I’m Catholic...”

What can you do?
Anyways, here are some pictures:
