"If they don't have time to write me they can email me now"

Dear Family and Friends

 

First off WELCOME TO MIRACLE MARCH! It’s way better than march madness in case you were wondering. Yeah we found 6 investigators this week! I was really happy. But the real work is helping them come unto Christ so Elder Bennett and i are doing our best to get to them each of them and let them know that we are there for them. However, just when we start doing the best work and being successful, Satan got in the way; Elder Bennet and I resolved all conflict so we are firing on all cylinders. Satan is attacking our BIKES now. Without bikes we cannot get around as fast. Mine was just flat but Elder Bennett stopped very fast in front of me and I crashed into him and ruined his disk brakes. I wasn’t hurt btw(by the way). But still Satan is trying to stop us but he can’t, he can only delay the inevitable.

 

So mom the Johnson didn’t come to church. But WE will get them next week. Her husband is going out of town for two weeks and when he comes back they agreed to let us teach them the lessons. So they will come to church because they will be hungering for the spirit. The Lord is all powerful and has all these people in mind and does want us to help them and he has been empowering us.

 

Now i have not heard a bunch of these things that you thought i did. When did LEXI decide to go on a mission? I’m so excited for her. That’s amazing! Best part about it we will be at school together longer! haha. And we will get back pretty close to the same time probably. Aunt Nancy my prayers are with you! Love you!

 

And dad I didn’t know that Caleb read my letter out loud. I hope it made sense. I wrote it really fast and kind of ran out of room. But those are the things that I kind of wish I had done before. I didn’t take it serious because i thought i knew the gospel. I was very very mistaken.

 

And since when was dad nominated for the SAmmi Award??? And he actually won? For what? haha i know you do a lot dad but aren't you just doing what any normal citizen should do? haha

 

I heard about Rachel. She actually emailed me to tell me the news. But it’s like old times I’m the last to hear about everything even though mom and dad you were the first two to hear about it. (So no big deal). I’m glad to hear grandma is doing better. I was a little worried about her.

 

Anyways I wish I could see Hannah, Andy, Christian and Tanner!! AHH it’s been a while but I guess I can wait seeing how I will. But new development:  we can now email basically anyone we want. So friends and leaders and everyone can email us now. So spread the word. If they don’t have time to write me they can email me now.

 

Well we had another baptism this week. RaeAn Butler.  She’s 17 and it was a lot of fun teaching her because it was like teaching a kid in the sense that she didn’t know anything. Her faith was strong because she just accepted it then prayed and got an answer first time she prayed. There have been a few really strong spirits that I have met lately. The spirit just radiates from them.

 

Also I try to fill my time with perspective missionaries and get them coming out with me as much as possible. I am hoping to make an impact and get them more ready for their missions than i was. Plus it helps me because I make sure the lessons they go to are really good. Oh and Mom you will like this but I try to sing before every lesson. It definitely brings the spirit. I recommend dad singing before priest quorum and kneeling at the end. (If you don’t already do it). The lessons that we sing before are soo much better. We always sing before our meetings in the field.

 

A transfer is 6 weeks. but all the missions will have one 5 week to make the change to the shorter time in the mtc. Ours was last transfer.

 

Love you all Take care
