Hey Y'all!

Well Monday is already here again and I am once again writing you guys another letter that probably only 10 of you read all the way through but hey that's alright. This past week was a little bit slower of a week missionary wise, the flu is running like mad in our area so a lot of our investigators are either getting sick or they are getting over their sickness which has made it hard for us to get out and meet the people that we wanted to meet with this past week, but its OK because we were still able to see miracles and blessings either way. Its amazing to see how God works with each of his children, Just goes to show that he knows us each individually!

Saturday this past week we had a baptism in the ward for 8 Year old Bently Caviness! It was such a great meeting and at the end I had the opportunity to Confirm him a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. What a remarkable experience that was for me. I love being able to feel the Spirit of God work through me to bless the lives of others around me. I don't remember much of what I said, But I do remember how I felt while I gave the blessing and I will never forget the light that was about Bently after the confirmation. I love this gospel and I love the Power that the Priesthood has in each of our lives. I love being able to have the opportunity to act and do these wonderful ordinances in his beloved name! It truly has shaped my life for the better.

Yesterday Jason Paris came to church! He was the guy that I talked about last week. Its been such a testimony strengthener for me to see someone who two weeks ago had no faith, to now attending church and wanted to grow and learn spiritually. It was cool I was talking to him yesterday and he said: "Ya man its weird when I read the Book of Mormon my day/week just goes so much better" I was so pumped haha. If we show heavenly father that we are willing to take that step in being better, HE WILL BLESS US. I know this to be true. All it takes is the simple things in the Gospel and in life and you will be happy. God is great!

For my spiritual thought this week I'm going to share a picture of the Parable of The Pillow Case that our Primary President shared at Bently's baptism this past Saturday!

I love you all and hope you guys have a great week!
