THIS week!

Dear All,

This week in the Alameda Stake, 5th and 9th Wards, we set 3 baptism dates and have in the works to have 7 or so by the end of next week. [My new companion], Elder Hill has 3 months left. We are getting along well. We have already had a couple moments we both agree are funny. We're having fun and doing all sorts of work. We've had 2 people send text messages and contact us out of the blue and asked to be baptized, those are 2 of the 3 we have. The third is a pre-existing date. The one who first contacted us asked in text to be baptized, so we met with her and she didn't even let us ask about a prayer and laid out her plans to quit smoking drinking coffee and even getting a tattoo fixed or removed. We are looking forward to having more people setting dates. I have even found a few streets in my area that my last companion never took me down so I'm un-familiar with them. Elder Hill and I are in agreement that we are co-juniors. I realized I'm 4 months in and I think it's dawning on me just how fast 2 years will go by...... REALLY FAST!

Love to all,
Elder Hedgecock
