Well another week down! This week has been pretty weird that is for sure but it was ended right! We ended it with a baptism! It was the most spiritual meeting of my life! So their names are Dennis and Bonnie Drobenak, and they are the 7 year investigators! So being investigating for so long they had TONS of people to that were coming to there baptism! And they knew all the right people to speak at their service and who to baptize them, and who to confirm them! It was amazing! So we had the baptism on saturday and they were confirmed on sunday. Sunday was the best part. We got to confirm them and the blessing after was beautiful. After the blessings I looked down at them and they both just had tears rolling down their faces, and yes i did to (I get that from you mom).  

I can not tell you how much I am loving this mission! It has been a true blessing to me to see how much I have grown in this gospel! I was thinking the other day wow its been three months already?! If they keep going like this ill be home before i know it! I learned something pretty cool this last week, and I am sure that everyone at some time has heard this and i am sure that i have heard this. But we have to have faith in our faith. That is a weird thought to me, you never hear people saying "oh i have faith in my faith" you just hear them say "i have faith." I think a lot to the prophets of the book of Mormon times, all these people are strong and mighty people. They have the power to bring famines to the lands and they have the power to heal the sick. But it truly comes down to those people having faith in their faith. Its an unshaken faith, they dont think they just do. When Nephi was commanded to build the ship did he sit there and think oh man this is going to be hard, i dont have the right tools, how do i even build a ship? No he plainly asks the Lord how, where, and what. He had faith in his faith that his prayers would be answered. I think its amazing and i hope that some day i can get to that point, where i dont ask myself these questions but i ask my Father in Heaven these questions, and i have the faith in my faith that he will answer the questions.

Well it sounds like you guys have some exciting times coming up in life! Uncle Eric living with you guys will be fun. I am sure that it will be a house full! But It sounds fun :) how is uncle Eric doing?! I hope he is doing well! And that is really kind of crazy to think that Ryan will be home that soon! It feels like it was just a few months ago that we dropped him off! I am mailing something off to nannah soon but it wont be there until after her birthday, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNAH!! I love you i hope you have a good birthday! I am always happy to hear what is going on back at home :) It awesome to hear all the funny stories of back home! I love you all and i hope that you all are well :)
