Hello Mom,
Well lets see...We didnt have any baptisms on Sunday, so that was kinda a bummer, but birdy will be baptized soon. Bensen is getting there though. He should be ready for his baptism this Saturday. So we are pretty stoked for that.
The birthday celebrations were pretty good. Nothing like home though. The Bruners took us out to dinner on Saturday, and on Sunday we ate with some of the members. The made cupcakes. Those were great!
Dominica has basically been dead the last week. They are celebrating their independence day of 30 years. Which is pretty impressive.
Transfers are next week. So we will see what happens. I only have two transfers left. So the way I see things, if I stay here this coming transfer, Then I will probably be here until I die. Which has its perks, but also Portsmouth is too small for me. I feel I know it like the back of my hand.
Hopefully I can get to the package you sent soon. Everything has been closed down for the past four days with all their celebrations.
Love
Elder Osterloh
