Sup Squirrel Faces,
It's Slapmaster Ice here, tearin' out the gnar with my backwards cap and my blades, getting down with the sickness on the quarter pipe, gonna hit the arcade later, you know it.

So yeah, this week was real good.  We didn't end up going to the ancient pyramids cause I guess the ZL's were busy.  And we would be going today, but our stake has a temple trip this week, so we're going to Apia at 4:00 today.  That should be way sweet--I'm stoked.  We had a few people that we've been working with doing temple baptisms and some people being sealed.  So it should be way sick--I'm stoked as ever.  But yeah, we'll probably hit up those pyramid things next week.  That should be the dopest dank.

So this week we've just been finishing the lessons for Fonoea (Silia's grandma), Mata (Silia's mom) and Fasegia (Evelige's mom) for baptism, which was on Saturday.  It was awesome though.  This family has really been prepared by the Lord to receive the gospel.  My companion and I have now had the opportunity to baptize three generations in this family--it's just crazy awesome.  The baptisms went really well.  Fonoea was baptized first.  Her nephew, Price, did the baptism.  And then right after, my companion baptized Mata, and then I got to baptize Fasegia after that.  It was way good--the Spirit was real strong.  After the baptisms, the three got up and bore their testimonies--it was awesome.  The whole thing was just amazing--I was stoked.  It's been such a huge blessing for me to help this family over the last few months.  That's what makes me happy.  Experiences like this make all the sucky stuff worth it--like getting gnarly diarrhea or not having water in our house for two weeks.  Ha ha, but yeah, I was way stoked.  Saturday was a real good day.

But yeah, other than that, not much has been goin' on for this week.  I'm still with my same companion in Faiaai.  All is well.  The work is good.  Everything is well.  I'm lovin' it here.  Samoa is the dopest.  Everything is the awesomest.

Drench it in the dank and soak it in the bros, man.

Love,
Elder Johansen
