Letter # 71

Friends and family,
Hello....WOW!

Being missionary ROCKS! The best thing EVER!

Keep Marisa in your prayers!!! She is an investigator (Jacob her son was baptized last sat!)

Dirk is a new investigator and he's AWESOME! Member referral! And we taught him last night and are coming back again! He said "I just don't see why we would need a prophet"....then he would say "yah, you just can't find the truth because of all the different interpretations of the bible!" I and my companion felt the spirit very strong and feel that he is ready...going to have to change many things but we are supposed to be teaching him, that's for sure!

Susan has a baptism date for this sat! She is sick...missed her lesson sat, but we are going to try to see what we can to encourage and support her. She is doing great with not smoking and drinking tea and coffee...she said "oh I will just give my coffee to my neighbor" :) ha ha! Awesome!!!!

Bailey and Braiden have a baptism date for Aug 27th BUT....their dad keeps saying he'll come to church and he hasn't showed up once!! The boys have been at their mom's house and we can understand that. They are so ready...but BRENT the dad is just making excuses!!!! How can we help him...he drinks and smokes and that is holding him back BIG TIME!! We want him to be worthy to baptize his boys....but he doesn't keep commitments....then how do we do that!!!???

The work is HARD WORK!!! I LOVE IT!! I'm so happy to be serving and I know that God is not going to let me live a leisure last transfer, I can feel a whirl wind coming on and I know that miracles WILL occur!!!! I'm SO READY!!! BRING IT ON!!!!

This week has been full of emotion and God has his plan but I sure wish he'd let me in on it sometimes!!! I love you family! PRAY FOR ME and my companion sister TAYLOR and our INVESTIGATORS and those were working with and our incredible ward that they will find more ready to hear this incredible message of the restored gospel! PLEASE PRAY THAT WE WILL DO/ Feel / and know what the Lord would have me accomplish these next 6 weeks!!!!!

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!! I love this work with everything in me and I know this church the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been restored to the earth and it is true!!!! The Book of Mormon is truth that is a testament of the messiah and I pray that as we pray and study to know and then ask God and seek to partake form his hand when we have questions in life and concerns!!! HOLD TO GOD and follow his SON Jesus Christ!! He is the light and life of the world and it's through him that we MAY (if we choose) find everlasting HAPPINESS!!! I love you!


-Love you from here (home) to home!
