Hey guyz,

This week was pretty solid. It was way average, with not too much going on haha. I made a bunch of English midterm tests on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then we gave them to our students. They did pretty solid, so that's good at least. 

The majority of this week was just English classes and some fun member visits sprinkled in there. Of course, member visits are mostly just us saying hi and eating their food due to all of the communism here. 

On Friday morning after English class we had what is called a Baci Ceremony. All of our students set it up for us and for the Hamsteads, since they go home on Tuesday. We pretty much all sat around a plant thing that was tied up with string and held onto it while some friendly men chanted blessings at us. Good times. Afterwards, everyone came up and wished blessings on us, while tying lots of strings around our wrists. It was neat. It's sad that the Hamsteads are leaving though. They were pretty cool.

This next week is Lao New Year, which should be fun. That's the big water fighting festival, so we're pretty hype right now. 

Also, I hope all of you have a good time watching General Conference.

Well, yeah, that's been my week! Have an awesome week and try to get the most you can out of General Conference!

Love
