I Love You Guys

Well, I must apologize for scaring everyone, so to clarify mom and dad are not moving to California (thank goodness) and mom was just mentioning a story about when her and Dad moved, many years ago, but I have never heard that story in my life (which is funny because mom and dad would always say the same story over and over I figured they had ran out) so that wonderful, beautiful home I remember so vividly in my mind is still waiting for me when I get back… well, at least for the moment :). It brings me great comfort to know that nothing has happened to the Texas folks and I have to admit that I think I should put something crazy in every E-mail because I got more E-mails this week then I have had for a few months now :). Overall though, things back home seem to be going amazing… Trent and the gang are enjoying some radical moments as Tatum enters into a surfing competition and Afton is ready at any moment to deliver a famous ‘one two kazoo punch’ (a deadly hit to the ‘privates’). The St. George gang
are just enjoying some fun football matches and seem to be doing really great (as always). The *&^’#!% family (that’s Timette’s last name :) by the way) is doing fantastic as they continue to look into were there going to move to and if they can make it happen (I personally feel that they should move to Hong Kong because a Disneyland adventure is only 85$). Ma and Pa seem to be doing great as Dad continues to teach seminary and (as he says) ‘look good at work’ and mom seems to be getting much better on the computer! In answer to some questions that were given in some E-mails… yes, it is raining today (it rains everyday)… no, I don’t get to watch any Man U or Man city football matches :(… yes, England is the most green and lush place that I have ever been to, it truly is an awe inspiring country.

Many P-days have passed and many more are to come but I always do and always will enjoy this opportunity that I have to sit down and ponder on what has occurred this week, and as always I am filled with awe and love as I recognize and remember the miracles that Lord has allowed me to be a part of. Something that I wish to share with you is the joy that I have when I meet someone who is truly ready to hear the Gospel. This week I had the opportunity to teach a man by the name of Eric from Cameroon, he is a man of great faith and truly prepared to hear the message of the restoration. As my companion and I shared with him the account of Joseph Smith and the wonder that is the Book of Mormon I could literally see in his eyes the wonderful understanding and joy that the Spirit brings. As we bore our testimonies that Joseph truly was a prophet of the Lord and that the Book of Mormon is scripture held in reserve for our day to act as another witness, along with the bible, that Jesus truly is the Christ the son of God; the spirit was so powerful. God really does love his children I can feel his love everyday for them. And as someone who is in darkness and doesn’t have the Gospel only because they know not were to find it, finds it… there is always something so powerful; it’s as if their very soul is shouting that this is true! I love this work and I love you all so much, I am so thankful for your support
and I keep you in my prayers always…
