Hey Family,
This week was a great week!! most of all because it was conference!! It was super good to hear the great council from our beloved prophet. It is truly a great experience to hear the works that have been inspired to a prophet directly from God him self. Unfortunately, the sad part of conference was that all that talks seemed to be directed to me not as a missionary,but rather as a father and husband?? It to be honestly kinda scared me, but i guess i will have to grow up some time or another. Its been a great week we have been teaching some amazing people and are getting some progress as we teach them. Due to investigator rights i cant tell names but i will tell you about them a little bit. So (Don) has been investigating for multiple years, for the reason of probation and other stuff. he is a super cool guy and has changed a lot from his old way. but we teach don on a regular basis and he is doing really well. This week when we went over to the lesson we had quite a scare, we were watching a movie ( Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration), there was a knock on the door and it was his probation officer! well he has to do a breath test randomly every so often. well he blew over the limit that his probation allows him to have. my poor companion was scared to death. i said a little prayer and asked heavenly father that everything would be fine. so after about 20 minutes with multiple probation officers he was released and was allowed to continue with every day stuff. We finished the movie and after he realized that he HAS to stop living the way that. we agreed and he is making the necessary steps to help him. I am very great full for the blessing that God has put in his path to shake him up enough to make him want to change. We are also teaching a couple that are absolutely amazing! we have come to love them a lot! especially me because they are big time dirt bike people, but this week we taught him about the plan of salvation and how god has allowed us as his children to return to him.he was totally blown away and had some super amazing questions and I just love questions! but he and his wife watched general conference and when President Monson talked in the Sunday morning session he talked about the Plan of Salvation, and he totally ate it up, when we followed up with him he said that he just felt great when he spoke because it was things that we had talked about that week when we had met with him. He is going to make a great member when he actually joins! This week just has truly been a fantastic week and everything is going well. I am glad to hear that the family is going well and the new baby was introduced to world safely and that we are able to welcome her in to the family. She is truly a blessing to us. I am very great full to be serving the lord and the chance that i have that we may bring souls unto Christ! I am sad that it has to end some time! it really hit me i looked at my temple recommend today and it expired at the end of this month... For every thing there is a time and a season... I love you all I hope that you have a great week!
