FAMILY :)
This last week has been awesome! We had another baptism Saturday, it was a way cool experience. His name is Danny Wilson, and he's honestly the funniest man i have ever met! when i send you the pictures from this area, you will see him, he's the really big black man hahaha and some of the things he says reminds me of Dad! But he is about 52 and when he was standing in the font the spirit was SO STRONG! He told us after that he saw his mother who had passed away, standing outside of the font smiling at him! He told us that Saturday was a day that he'll always remember, and that he'll always know that this church is true by that experience. Elder Fatiau baptised him, and i got to comfirm him yesterday! It was so cool! I love exercising my priesthood, especially as a missionary, because im truely as in tune with the spirit as i can be, and it makes it that much better! But we have another baptism this week, his name is Lloyd, ill be baptising him, im WAY EXCITED!! but then the week after we have two more and the week after that we have FOUR! So i hope i dont get transfered out of this area, because i want to be able to baptise those people with elder fatiau!! So pray for me! :) Elder Kelley our other companion got transfered early, him and Elder Fatiau werent getting along, because elder kelley likes to start arguments, and that only leads to contention, and the spirit can't dwell where there is contention, so he got transefered up to B-Ham. This week went by pretty fast, i swear it just keeps speeding up!! but anywho, i love hearing about all the fun times you guys are having! I continue to pray for you and my friends as well daily! but it makes me so happy so see your continuing on in righteousness! I KNOW that families can be together forever, and i want to be able to be with all of you and the rest of my family in the Celestial kingdom! So keep it up!! :) Jesus the Christ in an AWESOME book!! it blows my mind everytime i read it, and im learning a ton! Same with the BOM and BIBLE! Im so happy that i have your support as a family, and that you never gave up on stubborn little alex, even when i was going the wrong way! I know that Alabama is where im supposed to be, even if i am 1 out of 9 white people here in Selma haha! But continue to pray for Elder Fatiau (fot-e-ow) and I, we could use all the help we can get!! Tell all of my friends that i miss them very much, and that i love them to death!! Well i cant wait to hear from you next week, im sure it will go by extremely fast!! I hope everything at home is going well, i try not to worry about you all but it just happens, so please STAY HEALTHY and RIGHTEOUS so i dont have to worry!! :) Fai fai Lemu, alofa ia te oe (take it easy, I love you!!) REMEMBER E Faavavau aiga (families are FOREVER!)

This week was pretty sick! The tornado didnt end up hitting so that was good!! But yeah the weather has been good its really starting to cool off!! I lOVE IT NOW! its still humid but ive gotten pretty used to it! But yeah playing ball with all the brothers is sick, we are like on of the crew now haha. Its pretty scary sometimes though because they get super mad at basketball, especially when they are losing, (which is most of the time ;) ) haha but they are all tatted up and have tear drop tats under their eyes and stuff, most of them are gang members, so it can get pretty crazy when they lose, but you know what they say, dont hate the player hate the game haha so they dont mess with us ;) but we had another baptism this week and i got to do my first comformation, it was way awesome!! its a pretty long story and im almost out of time, but get it from mom and dad haha :) sorry i love you. But we have 7 MORE BAPTISMS scheduled in the next three weeks, so hopefully i dont get transfered on the 28th so i can see these people get baptised! But im really growing to love Selma, the ward family is awesome!! Im super proud of the companionship we have, yesterday we DOUBLED the attendance at sacrament meeting!! DOING WORK!! but its okay haha but i better get a package soon, im getting bored of looking in the mail everyday and having nothing haha, but you'll be getting a package from me for you birthday so be ready :) its going to be at mom and dads house, but you BETTER LOVE IT! :) but i miss being able to come over and kick it at your house, but ill be fine :) dont game to hard with out me!
