Hey Everyone!!!

It's been a good week this week. We really did have a great one! First suprising news, our long time investigator is finally getting baptised this weekend! We had a lesson, and he finally decided that he would live it all, and so he wants to be baptised, this coming weekend. We are really excited about it, and we're really looking forward to it. We have so much to plan though! I'm glad we have an amazing branch mission leader who will really help us out a lot with that! Just pray everyone, that all will go through well.

So in other news, been a great week. We had the best lesson with another one of our investigators. We really had to do some great discerning, but we finally got him to realize that he does know that the Book of Mormon is true! It was such a spiritual lesson, and really took the best of us. Now we just need to help him along the way still. He is great though.

We've had a really busy week and taught a lot, 20 lessons this week. We've really been seeing a great change in the reaction of our investigators as we've improved out teaching a lot more. They understand better, and really do start to make more progress. It's such a blessing that we've been able to progress personally so well in our work.

We've also had this miracle with this investigator who really just came out of nowhere. He is so great though, accepts all our commitments, and really is making a lot of progress. We have felt so blessed to be teaching him too!

One great blessing I've realized from the gospel this last week, is how much it strengthens us. I feel the strength to go on as I live the gospel, every single aspect of it is for our benefit, for our good, and helps us to live so much happier, so much safer in this dangerous world, and really gives us internal peace and strength.

I read my notes from Elder Holland's talk from the last conference, and I read about how the crowing characteristic of love, is loyalty. Loyalty to the Savior is so important! I read how the Lord needs disciples, He needs them now, and He needs them to stay for their whole lives. He needs those who will declare His gospel, and defend His truth! That talk really meant a lot to me. Hope you all can read it again sometime.
Sounds like everyone is doing great though! Happy Birthday Desmond, sorry, I forgot about it! You're all great, thanks for the emails! Have a great week and keep praying for us. I'm praying for you!
