Theeeeeen went on a "2 hour hike" with Mahvash..... Well I quote 2 hours cuz she said it was only 2 hours. We thought that meant total. Nah she meant one way. So it turned into a 5 hour thing. 2hr there, 1hr lesson WHERE WE SET HER WITH A BAPTISM DATE OF DEC 16!!!, then 2 hours back... let's just say, my legs went numb on the trek back haha 
Then later today, we set Terry, an investigator with a baptismal date of December 2nd!!!! #BESTDAYEVER
