This week has been awesome, but it has also been challenging. Micron
was baptized and I sent you a picture of that. That was great. He has such a
strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and it was great to hear him share his
testimony after the baptism. When Elder Gordon and I first started teaching him
last transfer, the first thing that stood out was that he had seriously started
reading through the Book of Mormon that Elder Jacobson and I had given him
several months before. He understood everything in our first lesson with him
and his family. He talked about how the message of the restoration was perfect
for him and it answered so many of his questions. He has been great to teach
for the whole time and we are going to go see him tonight. He loves church and
talks about how he learns so much there. The Book of Mormon has been key in his
conversion. It goes really well with some counsel that President Mehr has given
to the mission about flooding the West Indies with the Book of Mormon. I'm
currently re-reading the Book of Mormon for the 4th time in a year and I learn
new things everyday. I'm praying for everybody each day. Now its in the Lord's
hands. Can't wait to get that Birthday Card. I hope it doesn't take as long to
get here as a package my Zone leaders (who we interact with almost daily) picked
up last week. It had been sitting in the post office for three years and lets
just say that the cereal in that box was very stale. We have another baptism
this next week for Linda. I'm especially excited for her because I have been
teaching her for the entire time that I have been here. Love you all! Hurrah
for Israel!
