The baptism went awesome!! Clinton will be getting the Aaronic priesthood on Sunday and he is going to baptise an investigator named Shannon. It's pretty sweet. He has a Preach My Gospel already and is using it to try and show his family that the gospel is the best thing ever!!!! Anyways, I'm not doing too well today. I lost my camera and don't know where it is. I murmured a bit and now i feel like crap, so I can't send any pictures home this week because we can only develop film on Tuesdays. What is something you do when you get angry?? Nothing seems to help. Our ward officially is going to hell. All they do is argue and fight and complain about no one liking church. They have about 400 members in our ward and only 75-100 of them are active. The Relief Society is an exclusive club and everyone bad mouths non-LDS people or our investigators. If I lived here I wouldn't go to church. We have a couple families that are awesome! but the rest are like dogs fighting over table scraps. Transfers are on June 16th and I hope I move somewhere else. I thought some of the Mormons in Utah were bad, but these ones take the cake. Anyway, inspite of all this crap I still love the mission. I know I'll be blessed for being here so it makes up for the crap.

We elders are getting along well. we have our differences but we try not to dwell on them. Glad you guys are doing awesome!!! Hey by the by, on our vacation after the mission. You know when we come out here, you'll get to meet Clinton he says he's excited to meet you guys in 2 years!!!! hehehe Anyways, I gotta go, but love you all so much.

Elder Swanson
