I can tell that school should be starting up soon due to how many U'hauls we've been seeing. Which made our Saturday pretty busy. As usual, this Saturday we put on our regular clothes and went out to find some U-hauls. Lucky for us we actually were able to help two groups of people move in. The first group we actually found almost immediately after beginning our quest. It was a group of about 5 or 6 Nigerian guys who were helping a friend and his wife move in (either that, or they were all moving in, I'm not sure. We went up and offered to help and one of the guys said, "OH! You must be from a church!" We said that we were and he said "Well then God bless you brother! God bless!" and we helped them move in. They were all smiles and whenever we would pick something up at least one of them would say, "Thank you so much, God bless!" Other than that, I could tell they were religious by the fact that several of them were wearing big crosses around their necks.
When we were done helping, Elder M. pointed out the tall guy and said something along the lines of, "That guy was actually the biggest bash I've had on my mission. Neither of us left on a good note last time I saw him. But he sure was happy to see us today"
The second family we helped move out of their old place and into their new one. They were really nice and appreciated the help. However, helping people move is a good reminder not to by huge awkward, bulky pieces of furniture.
We planned our investigators baptism for the 9th. It's exciting to be helping prepare someone for their baptism. But It will definitely mean more for me to baptize someone that I was part of the whole process for, rather that coming in with them already having all the lessons and on date. But either way, it's still cool.
That's all for the week.

Nearby forest fires last week made the sun look awesome at sunset
