Elder Knight and I running in the flowers.



A cool picture of me jumping

 (Ya, I guess that was to be his daughter not his wife) was taken.

This week in Iowa

This will probbably be a short letter I don't have too much that I want to say. This week has been a great week. We set 2 more baptismal dates and although there is much that both people have to do to reach that point we are praying for them and we have high hopes. Both of them are progressing quickly and I look forward to this chance that I have to help them find the joy and peace that comes from this gospel.
                We still have a Burmese’s Family of four plus the daughter of a Burmese family what will be baptized on the 25th. We are looking forward to that date. They were progressing a lot slower than we had hoped but we feel things have become easier for them to understand and they are moving much faster now. Our regular translator has been sick or out of town so we have had to use someone else. He is not as fluent in English so it has made things a little harder for him but he says he has felt the lord help him as he has been helping us teach. I know that with the lord’s help they will be able to reach this date.
                We have many more people that we are beginning to work with and I am looking forward to seeing them make commitments that will bring them closer to God. The work is continuing to escalate here. We are seeing a lot of success and I am grateful the lord is letting me be a part of it. I love being a missionary.
                There is not much more to report on this week. Transfer calls are this Saturday but it is almost guaranteed that elder knight and I will stay together for another month and a half until he goes home in October. I will probably be here until the end of December. The work is growing and people are finding the peace and happiness that comes from living as Christ taught. I thank all of you for your faith and prayers. I love all of you and thank you for all that you do for me.
