This transfer literally went by way too fast! I literally don't know what happened. Sister Christiansen is getting transferred to the traverse city zone...which if you understand that area was not open to sisters for 3 YEARS but President Jacobsen is opening the first area for sisters! So I am on upward and onward and on my way to Sault Ste. Marie! haha someday!

This week DAMIEN WAS BAPTIZED!!! It was so good! He was able to invite his family (which aren't members!) Damien is so awesome! It was a little stressful with transfers going on and just everything else that was happening that week so we were literally running around like crazy trying to get everything put together! but all went well and it was such a great experience for everyone! The member are so awesome! Tons of people showed up to the baptism!

This week we met with Zach again he is soo solid! we met him last week and he is halfway through 2 Nephi!!! He is our BEST FRIEND! 

and then Dianna (Xun Lu) she is the BEST! She is soo sweet! She brought two of her Chinese friends to the baptism! and they were soo awesome! We hopefully will get to teach them! I love teaching foreigners! :) Long Chen is a recent convert and he said that he wants to move to Idaho because they have horses. Long Chen is my favorite!!! 

CAN I TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR EVERYTHING ABOUT A MISSION AND ESPECIALLY THAT FACT THAT I GET OT BE ON CAMPUS!?

It is like having tons of friends that I get to share the gospel with! So many people here are just like such great friends! It is the best of both worlds! 

ALSO I TALKED TO THE WALLERS AND KEN IS BEING BAPTIZED JULY 31ST!!! I AM SO STOKED FOR HIM! I wish with all my heart that I could go but it has to be within an hour radius and Kalamazoo is double that :( I am so sad but I am happy for them anyways! 

I forgot my camera this week again! so sorry no pictures! but I am going to send you picture of the baptism from sister christiansen's camera! so save them please! because I don't have them!

annnyyywaayss....

GOODLUCK at the temple kenz! I love you so much! Goodness I love you all so much! Yesterday I had a dream that I came home off a break on my mission! it was like everyones mid-mission break (what?) and I hugged each one of you and then I went back on my mission! So there ya go! I was home yesterday ago! It was weird. So not ready. But I do miss you all!

Much Michigan Love,

Sister Oswald

Post Script:

1. Sister Christiansen and I get type writers so next week be expecting and type written letter ( I don't have money for stamps this week...how embarrassing?) I have a picture of them.

2. Robert a recent convert is taking us all out to lunch today and last week for p-day we went to the driving range ...I realized it is probably best if I never take up golfing.

3. We had dinner at a family in the ward and there was a little girl named Stacey that reminded me soo much of Hannah! It took all I had to not take her home with me.

4. Don't worry mom I have pictures I will send them next week!
