January 23, 2012 Oldham

This was another quick week here in Oldham. Went on another exchange.
Had fun with my companion. We took our two investigators to the Temple
in Chorley and walked around it. They really like it and the family
history center. Diego got himself a new quad from the distribution
center and then they drove home.

Funke Ogunnaike was supposed to be baptised this week, but she is the
legal guardian over her uncle who has a brain tumor. He lives in
Belgium and before he could be operated on she had to sign papers so
she took the 8-9 hour Eurobus trip from here through France to the
french half of Belgium and signed the papers for him. She is still
there at the moment, but was devastated that she couldn't get baptised
this weekend. She will be when she comes back, we are just not sure
when that will be. Hopefully soon because she has two 12 year olds and
one 11 year old here at home living with another uncle who is not the
nicest man in the world to be around with if you are a member of the
church.

So besides that, everything else is same old same old. Oh ya...I got
sick this past week...Threw up for about 2 hours or so...give or take
some time. That was fun, but I wasn't alone. 5 or 6 other
companionships in the zone were sick as well or still are. But After
those 2 hours I had a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner although my
stomach was killing me haha.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Love,

Elder Blackburn
