Hey Yall! Sorry I didnt get an email out yesterday... it was due to the fact that it was a holiday and the library was closed. So anyways Pres gave us permission to all do email today. Wow did we ever have an amazing week! HOLY CR....OW it was awesome! We taught so many lessons with members in our ward and the Lord just really blesses us with a ton of stuff to do last week! Evans confirmation was a success on Sunday. It was so awesome. I dont think I have ever felt the Spirit so much in my life. It was just amazing. Brother Reed confirmed him a member of the church and gave him a beautiful blessing. He told him that all of his health troubles would be taken care of according to his faithfulness and that his duty in this life would be to someday be a missionary and take the gospel to all the world. I think I almost passed out when I heard that. The Spirit was just so powerful, I am sure yall could feel it clear up in Utah!!! So anyways, we have done a couple of new member lessons with him and they have been a hit and he is just one solid guy. I am excited to start working with him more and more and maybe taking him out with us sometimes because he knows the bible like the back of his hand and he is just the man! So lets see... yesterday we played sand volleyball all day long for pday. There is something wrong with that picture, sand volleyball in the winter, that aint right! ha ha ha My feet and face got sunburned...whoops. It was so awesome though. We have a coupld part member families that we found last week that we are starting to work with now. One of them (Harrisons) has everyone baptised except for the husband. The whole family really wants him to join and he has come to church the past couple of weeks (even though at that time we did not know that he wasnt a member cause he comes in nice suits and all that good stuff) and so we are going to start working with him more and hopefully he will join soon enough. Some of our investigators are starting to progress slowly but surely. We have an appointment with Althea in about 30 minutes and hopefully we can commit her to some things finally. She works a ton and always on sunday so that might be a little difficult but I am hoping that she really feels the spirit and will be willing to make that change in her life. Other than that we are really trying to get our members to open their mouths more often about the church. Our ward is not very good at doing that, we hardly even get any referrals from them other than from Magda. We just need to get everyone on board and then the work will start flying! Anyways this is kinda short but I better jet off to our appointment so we are not late. I love yall and Yall are the best!!!! Love Elder Law
