Happy birthday America! - The Weekly Letter

Hello everyone! Yesterday was my second fourth of July that I've spent on mission, and we celebrated in about the same way. My companion and I both wore red, white, and blue ties, he wore America socks, and we blasted MOTAB's versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner," "My Country 'Tis of Thee," and others all morning. Glorious. 
In other news, our month of miracles is off to a great start. We were given a great idea by a member to go on Saturday, each companionship in their area early in the morning to some secluded spot and to pray in order to be connected to our mission President's vision, to have miracles and inspiration, and to know that we're in the right place. Elder Scroggin and I had a great experience, nothing huge or miraculous, but a great feeling of peace and confidence. Later that day, through a miracle, we were able to get Marie-Rose and Kena out to see a baptism in Mont Dore. Literally last-minute a member came through to drive them out there, and the baptism ended up being amazingly spiritual and powerful, and now since they're living situation has changed, they're eligible to be baptized! Just yesterday we challenged them to do so, and they're going to talk about, and we'll be doing a follow-up today, so hopefully they can be baptized next week! July is going to be great!
In other news, transfers happened, nothing changed for me and Elder Scroggin, although Elder Kessler is back in the district as DL in Ducos, and we shifted the office Elders to that sector as well. We'll also be getting 6 new missionaries on Friday, 3 of which will be in our zone, so that'll be fun. We also have missionaries back in the Loyalty Islands for the first time ever since I've been here! Elder Eronico and Elder Langomazino (both of whom are my "brothers" in the misison since we were trained by the same missionary) got sent there, they flew out on Monday. Super excited for that. And they're in our zone, so I might get to do exchagnes out there! 
I think that's about all for this week, love you all, keep sending prayers our way. See you soon!

We went out to Yate in the South for a district activity, and it was absolutely gorgeous.
