Hey guys,

I'm glad to hear that the message I shared last week was influencial. I prayed before I wrote it that I could share something that you needed to hear. Little did I know that Elder Bednar would say the exact same thing in Conference. When I heard him start talking, the Spirit immediately said "Listen, this is why you wrote what you wrote last week!" Then Elder Bednar went ahead and said pretty much the exact thing I had said. Experiences like that let me know that the Spirit really can work through us, He did through me. I was sooooo hoping you had seen that talk.

Well this week has been good. We have a baptism today!:) A 9 year old girl who's mom is a less-active member of the church. She has decided to be baptised now after she has prayed about it and received her answer. It was neat to hear how excited she was that she had received an answer to her prayers. We are also baptising 3 people on the 19th. There is an 18 yr old boy who is AWESOME! He is even talking about a mission! A 16 yr old girl who has such a pure desire, its amazing to see how the Spirit has talked to her already! And then their little sister who is 8. She is the glue for the family in the church. The first time the missionaries came over, She said " WE NEED TO GO TO CHURCH! I TELL THEM EVERY WEEK, I'M UP IN TIME, TRYING TO GET THEM READY TO GO!" She is so sweet.

We are moving in with some members here, the Pitts family. We are very grateful to them.

. The work is good. I'm trying everyday to stay focused... the Spirit is coming a lot easier now. I feel like I'm learning a little more each day on how to stay closer to God.

.
Remember, Pray with real intent to act on the answer. The answers will come!

I love you guys
Have a great week.
