This past week the other district had a baptism scheduled for Saturday. Elder Hatch & his companion turned the water on in the font Friday night and it was working fine. All the missionaries showed up 2 hours early to find that the water had shut off in the night (not an unusual occurrence) and there wasn't enough water in the font for a baptism. Being resourceful and hard-working missionaries, they gathered buckets and headed down the hill to a water source from a river. After several trips back and forth they were able to get enough water in the font for the baptism. The work will go on no matter what!

That would be quite the work out! (couldn't they take their backpacks off?) Isn't it amazing that no matter where you serve, you experience very interesting things? One of Cache's new investigator this week is 'Captain America'--some guy who feels his calling in life is to stand on the streets of NYC in a Captain America costume. I hope he joins the church--he'd be a great cub scout leader!
