What an Inspirational Week!

Hello Family and Friends!

What and Inspirational week it has been! We have so many people we are working with that it confirms to me that the Lord is hastening his work and is preparing his children for us so we can invite them into the warm waters of baptism. In my district we have kick started an obedience program that has greatly improved and impacted what is going on within the areas. As of right now, we are leading the whole mission for most baptismal scheduled dates! Now, I do not tell you this to be prideful, but more to tell you that God is using His missionary children as tools to serve and help others come unto his Gospel, and more importantly, unto Christ. What a blessing it has been witnessing C. enter the font and to make those covenants and promises unto the Lord. He is an amazing young man who really has a desire to know more. When he first met the President, he said, "Wow, I know you are ready for baptism right now because you just have a radiating glow about you. You have it in your eyes and in your heart". At this time, we haven't even asked him to be baptized! I love the family with all my heart and hope to see the whole family progress and succeed as a loving family!

We, as a district, have come up with a new way of answering others questions. It is more of a focus; this focus is on the Paris attack and how people will use that and religion against us. (By the way, you need not fear, there have been threats towards Manchester and other places, but we have guidance and laws that will protect us from any harm. President Ulrich has informed us that everything will be fine; so do not have any fear. I say "only have concern and action on the things you CAN control" I learned that from my dear father) Instead of thinking of this as a way to bring religion down, we need to think of this as an opportunity for helping others find the truth. Thank you for your wonderful love and support, I love you all!

Mom and Family: I am doing really well! I will do my very best not to pick up any foul language. Fun Fact: saying 'crap' is a swear word over here! Christmas gifts, thank you mom for sending some gifts and I promise that I will not open any packages until Christmas. I will start looking for a nice winter coat and thank you for the extra $, I will not use it all or take advantage of it. I also did receive the box of chocolate and candy, thank you! Oh, do not worry about the Yellow jacket, I can live without it (: Way to be Brycie! Happy Birthday too you... Happy Birthday too you... Happy Birthday dear Brycie...
