Friends and Family,
I hope everyone had a great week UN-iting themselves with
others!
Unity is something that just makes sense. There's no
point in contention (unless it's siblings growing up, haha just kidding :)
We had a pretty good week! Not as many great stories as
last week, but we had some success. Kim did not come to church and neither did
4 other people that said they would, but we did have Nate and Dusty come! Dusty
is the fiancé of a less active member and they're both going to start coming
regularly! Nate is friends with a member and his great aunt is a member as
well. He seems pretty interested!
I have one more week with Elder Bates and then I'll
likely get a new companion since we've been companions for 3 months. He's also
been in this area for 6 months so he's due for a ticket out. He's been a good
companion, the easiest to get along with, be productive, and enjoy working all
at the same time!
I read Esther this last week and it's a really good book!
I didn't realize how good it was until I read the whole thing! Great story,
awesome principles to pull out and apply to our lives, and not too long either!
Esther is a woman who had incredible courage. She asked people to fast for her
as she went before the king to plead for her life and the lives of her people.
I know the power of fasting and courage can bring blessings and, as needed,
miracles to those who put forth the effort and act and ask!

PS. This is where I left a note for my parents that visited the temple the day after I was there. They found it!!
