So this week has been awesome/INSANE!

Last Tuesday, we got to be part of a devotional type thing called "The Last Week of Christ". It was really cool. It was a walk through tour in the church with each room being set up to depict a different day in the last week of Christ. It was way cool. The crucifixion room was by far the most powerful. We watched a film called "The Lamb of God" and during the crucifixion scene in that movie, when Christ was being nailed to the cross, whenever the hammer would come down on Christ, someone in the back of the room actually hit a railroad tie into a thick block of wood on the ground. You could totally feel each hit and it was WAY powerful. We were in charge of the next room, the Resurrection and appearance in the Book of Mormon. We had the overflow and chapel, so we had all the lights off in the overflow (a tiny light for safety), a fog machine going, and read from 3rd Nephi ch 8, where it is complete darkness. We talked about how alone and afraid you would feel in this place for 3 days, we than said 3 days had passed and opened the door to the chapel where we had in "Testaments" playing where Jesus appears. It was pretty cool. But fog machine will give you the biggest headache ever if you're exposed to it too much. Oh man I coulda swore I had a tumor! haha. So if ever your thinking, "hey I should use a fog machine in this enclosed area. That's a good decision" think again! haha.

Wednesday, we had exchanges and one of my ZL's came named elder Finau. He's from Tonga, and he's awesome. haha. We had a ton of fun and got a lot done in Weiser, including finding this castle and trackting it out. Ya, people live there. haha.

Thursday night, Elder Forsyth decided, "hey, it would be a great idea to stab a knife through my thumb" so he did. haha. He was trying to fix his watch and it slipped and went in one side and out the other. CRAZY! So we found ourselves at the hospital.They said it didn't need stitching, but antibiotics. Crazy stuff. Haha.

We also are now a part of a missionary musical made my Elder Grant(yeah) and Elder Ely. We are both narrators and practiced yesterday. Its' REALLY cool.

Well, I gotta run. Baptism update is awesome. We have a baptism this Saturday, this Sunday, and next Saturday. haha. YES!

I love ya all!
