So, it's the weekend again. This past week has flown by, but at the same time, it seems like forever ago since I wrote last.
We had the baby shower this week, and that was pretty fun. I would put up some pictures, but they got deleted from Joel's computer by accident; what a bummer. It was a lot of fun and I got quite a bit of necessities, which is pretty cool since I didn't have any diapers, wipes, towels and a few other things. I also got this super cute bath from my sister-in-law, Jen. I can't wait to give Elsie a bath in it. Later on in the week I went shopping for a few more things that I thought we would need. I got Elsie some more onesies, I figure, you can't go wrong with lots of onesies. And I got her some sleepers and pj's, a cute dress, and a few other things.
Tomorrow is Special Emphasis, so instead of classes, the some people from the Missionary Training Center in Missouri are doing an all-day chapel for us. It was scheduled for two days-Monday and Tuesday, but I guess they only need one day to present, so we have Tuesday off. I'm really excited, because it'll be a nice break to relax, assuming Elsie isn't here by then-which would be a-okay with me.
We have a big 10-hour assignment due on Wednesday, but I'm not too worried because I have a good start into it. I'm still a little ahead on reading, but I think I need to be continuing on staying ahead, just so I'm not overwhelmed when Elsie's finally born.
We cannot wait to meet our baby girl. It's been a long and tiring process, and both Joel and I are ready for this part of the journey to be over so we can finally move on to the more exciting part-being parents. I'm so thankful to God that she has been healthy so far, and I'm just praying that the labor and delivery will go smoothly and without problem. I'd appreciate prayers for this.
Oh, also, if you get the chance, please pray for some family friend's of mine. They lost their son, who was my age. He was killed in action in Afghanistan yesterday. I grew up with him in California, when we lived there. It's pretty surreal to think that he's passed. But very exciting at the same time because I'm pretty confident that he is with the Lord. His name was Rudy, so just pray for Rudy's family.
Well, that's it for now. Hopefully in my next post I'll be writing about Elsie and how adorable she is.

1 Corinthians 13 ESV
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Philippians 2:1-11 ESV
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
