My first baptism is this Saturday for a guy who randomly showed up to church and has been talking to the sister missionaries over the mormon.org website for 3 months! People here are crazy!! LOVE YA all!!!

Dane spoke in church on January 9th, 2011. He has had no baptisms. He says the people are so gay and he gets mad at them. He says they just knock doors until their knuckles turn blue!!

Dane spoke in church in Summerville, SC on 1/9/11

Dane was supposed to have his first baptism this week. However, the family he was going to baptize needed to come to church twice which they have not been able to do.

He gets less than an hour on the computer each P-day so a lot of the details regarding his mission he is writing in letters. We have asked if can start sending the letters via e-mail so we can post it on the blog.

We got to talk to him for 40 minutes on Christmas day. He sounded really good. He said in a letter the next day that it made him home sick to talk to us. When we visited with him via e-mail yesterday he sounded better and is adjusting to the rigors of missionary work.

Monday's are his P-days.
