October 1, 2012 - Dover, Delaware

Hey, Everyone! 

Well it was a great week the weekend was bomb! I guess it started out with BYU winning i guess haha! But anyways, on Saturday too i went and played ball basically like a tryout to see if i was good enough at B-ball to come the next weeks, the guy i guarded played in the final four for Oklahoma state and played pro ball in Poland, haha he was good, but i earned my spot to go play next week it was tight! haha i have gotten a lot better i think it was playing in the hood it got me a little tougher haha. Anyways great stories to tell this week!

So we had a BAPTISM!!!! It went so good yesterday. It was Brandon who has a really strong testimony, his family is totally against the church, he really isn't at church for the social aspect but he is there cause he knows its true. It was a really cool baptism. We asked him who he wanted to baptize him and he chose me, i was happy to do it!  It went really good. He was like i feel wonderful after he got dunked. Its always amazing to see how the spirit works in people that is one thing i am so grateful for now that i know how to recognize and use the spirit in my life.   

Also we had a cool lesson with 2 of our progressing investigators Richie and Ayaz this week, they have gone through a lot to get to this point and have had to give a lot up. But Thursday we went and we taught the Word of Wisdom because they still both smoke. So we asked them to set a goal to quit smoking and Ayaz on the spot went and crushed up his cigarettes and hasn't smoked since, he is just soaking up everything we teach them. They stayed for the baptism too yesterday and was like yupp we are next we can't wait! haha so awesome they are going to bring many people to the gospel, they have already brought 3 friends to listen to us! Awesome kids!

But i am so excited for general conference its crazy its my last one and i am in single digits week wise left! its crazy time is going to fly by but i am going to work my hardest! I love this work and i love all of you thanks for the love and support!

Love
