This was a crazy up down left and right week. We had a lot going on and a lot randomly things that we had to take care of. We spent a lot of time out of our area dealing with one thing or another. But overall it was a good week. I am so grateful that even though we were gone a lot the lord still let us get a lot of work done while we were here. We set another date with a guy who we knocked into. He is a really cool guy and has had a lot of cool spiritual experiences with the book of Mormon; I am so glad that the spirit had let me know that that book is true. It along with the bible contains the fullness of the gospel. I am so glad that i have both book and that I have thins chance to tell others about them.

               All of the people that we have baptismal dates with are progressing really well. They are moving forward and the lord is working on their hearts. The work is true and this church is true. The lord’s hand is in all things.

               I want to all to know that I love you. I thank your for your faith and for your prayers. I know that this church is true because the spirit of God told me so. And that same spirit will tell all who are willing to learn that it is true.

               I hope you all have a great week.
