October 17, 2011


So, this week was a great week.  We were able to get a soft ok to go ahead with the baptism of one of our investigators that we thought would have to wait for another year.  So, in the next few weeks him and his son should be getting baptized.  We are really excited about that.  He is a great man.  Then the lady who's husband said no to the church at all--we were able to help her move and she has many friends and is getting more and more every week in the church.  Her husband is softening his heart little by little, but if she does get baptized then it will be in the other ward.  But, we don't care.  She is the best lady that I know and is ready.  Her husband will just take some time but, he will get there. So things are lookin' up.
 
My companion played O-line for SVU in football.  

We have awesome members.  There are the Melendezes, who are an awesome family.  Only the son and the dad are members.  The dad has been a member his whole life and is just now getting back in to the church and he is now in the Elder's Quorum Presidency.  He helps us with what ever we need and we have a great time.  His son, Kyle, is awesome.  He is 16 and when he got ordained to be a Priest, he asked us to stand in the circle.  He is such a good kid.  He reminds me a lot of Dan in the way he is a good example for all those around him.  I admire him.  For a long time he went to church by himself and it is in large part because of him that his dad is active again.  He rocks.  Then we have the Rask's.  They are an older couple, but are the nicest people I have ever met. About 5 years ago he had a stroke and the right side of his body his paralyzed, but he doesn't let that stop him. Whenever we ask for rides in priesthood he is always the only one who raises his hand.  I really have grown to look up to him.

So this week Brother and Sister Rask are going to bring us to Las Vegas to go see Elder Jenson, of the Seventy. It should be awesome.  Then we are going to go to the temple with them.  We are really excited.
 
I love all of y'all.  Y'all have all made an impact on my life in some way or another.
 
Oh yeah, my favorite scripture is Ether 12:27.  It is Dad's, too, I know.
