Staying Here

Dear Family,
      Hows it going? So i am staying in my current area. Its bitter sweet but its what the Lord wants. I am helping Elder Woolard so much and he and i have really come far. So another reason i think is because only 12 missionaries are not getting transfered. Meaning Like the entire mission is moving and its so stressful and crazy for pres and the APs so i am pretty okay with not getting transfered. I just hope all the work i have been doing will pay off this transfer and we will see some great baptisms go through. Speaking of baptisms, Yesterday we had a baptism for sister Esther. She is a sister to a member and is here on school break. She is very smart and she basically taught us. Elder Woolard was able to baptize her which was so great for him. I have high hopes for the next six weeks. This week was okay. Not much to report we have just been waiting around for transfer news. I am still the ZL and still have to plan another zone conference which is kinda a bummer but its what the Lord wants. I am excited to see house pictures. It sounds like a great place. How is your SOS club or has it completely fallen apart? You got allot of work to do to catch up with SLAM. They got mugs i hear. I am really hoping I can make a contribution to such a choice organization. Do you think i got what it takes? Maybe you could do some research for me. Do I have to go through initiation? I would assume. You dont get to be men of their position without going through the ringer. haha 
    Well as for my investigators. Sister Miriam (should) be married this week so her baptism will soon follow. She is doing so well in the Book of Mormon and we have been teaching here since may so i best see her get dunked. Brother Nicholas and Eunice are doing great. They are a great little family with all the faith in the world. We have their date set for the first of october. Brother Andrew has been forced to travel to his future mother in law home which will cost him a small fortune so he can get permission to marry. Kenya traditions and laws are so stupid! So it will take him some time to save up to go. We are kinda sad but we will see. We are really praying the Lord will help him accomplish his righteous desire. We are teaching a new guy named Samuel. He feels its necessary to randomly stand up and say "Praise the Lord" in church. Its crazy and when he prays he says father or jehova every other word. Man these churches are really corrupting people. He is good though a little dense and I feel like reaching across the table and strangling him some times but other than that i love the guy except for his intense BO. Easily has the potency to kill a small child or give a grown man a instant head ache.
   Well not much else for you. Elder Pococks moms email is blmill@hotmail.com. Her name Lisa Miller and is to Kind. If you want you could email and mail elder pocock some thing to. He is easily the best friend i have ever had. We have many great experiences together. He is the AP right now and we see eachother all the time and are so much alike its great. Well I love you all and thanks so much. Oh about the packages. I should get them this week which i am sooooo excited about! Thanks for that again and know i am so grateful! Have a great week.
Love
Elder Haynes
