Fully engaged in this great enterprise that Jesus called "my Father's business!!!"""

Well Hi there!!

 

   It snowed again here a few inches and its really making me sad..... I just want to see the warm weather come around because I'm just not liking all this white garbage.

 

  We had interviews this past week and it was great to be with President Jergensen for a day. He's someone that I will stay in contact with for the rest of my life. Here was here in the zone on Friday and then on Sunday he was here for Stake coordination with the Stake President. On Sunday we had 5 investigators at church and they are all working towards baptismal dates.

 

  Ben will be baptized on Saturday and he will be baptized by Jared Veach who was baptized on Feb 9th so he's also a recent convert. You want to know how to keep people active in this church??? You get them to the temple within 30 days of their baptism and get them to baptize someone else hahaha. Oh he's great and the 2 of them want to go on missions, so a year from now they will be out in the mission field, and that makes me so happy.

 

  Sam is doing great, he's now in Helaman in his Book of Mormon reading and wow the spirit is just working with him so much. We were talking about his feelings with his reading and he kept saying that he wants to come to Jesus and then he was thinking about Ben's baptism( he was sitting right there with us) and he was like "can I get the baptism too"? We were just so excited that he said that and will be getting him all lined up for baptism on the 20th of April.

 

  I'm so happy to be here in Ames because it's just the best area and has some super sweet members who are taking good care of us. If you've noticed mom I've been using the home card to get some food because I'm staight up out of MSF because we have bought flowers and thank you gifts for people that have helped us out in the ward and I'm just out, so I'll be taking some out to buy food this week....... sorry:)

 

 Let me know how the family is dong down in st. geezy and in Cali cuz that's where I"m headed for school and all:)  I hope that Abuelo is doing ok it's been one of my biggest fears that something bad would happen to him or anyone in the family.

I could really use a spring break right now, my body is just beat but my spirits are high and doing better then ever.
