"Thou art called to labor in my vineyard, and to build up my church, and to bring forth Zion, that it may rejoice upon the hills and flourish. Behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou art not called to go into the eastern countries, but thou art called to go to the Ohio. And inasmuch as my people shall assemble themselves at the Ohio, I have kept in store a blessing such as is not known among the children of men, and it shall be poured forth upon their heads. And from thence men shall go forth into all nations. Wherefore, go forth, crying with a loud voice saying: The kingdom of heavn is at hand: crying: Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God. Go forth baptizing with water, preparing the way before my face for the time of my coming." --Doctrine and Covenants 39: 13-15, 19-20

November 28, 2011

Hi Mom and Dad,
This week has been good even though no one wanted to talk with us because of the holiday. We were just doing a bunch of tracting and that was about it. We are still working with our one investigator and he is doing good. He is starting to progress a lot and hopefully he will be baptized. So transfers are coming up in about a week and a half so just in case you should probably not send anything else until I know for sure if I am staying here again. It's been really warm here the past week so i haven't had to try out any of the thermals, I will tell you when i use them. We had a pretty fun thanksgiving this week we ate at two members homes, the Busch's (which used to live in cedar and sister Busch taught at Fiddlers Canyon but it was her student teaching there) and one of the sisters in the ward, sister Shuster's. It was a good day I enjoyed it a lot and was very full. Also we had a turkey bowl and that was pretty fun a well. Sounded like you and Dad had a fun thanksgiving at Denny's haha. Well next year hopefully everyone will be there haha.

Its pretty sad to hear about Jordan he was turning his life around and then this happened. I hope his mom and dad will be ok. I will be praying for them and I hope everyone is comforting them right now. Its good to know that he is in a better place now. Jordan was always a good kid, and I enjoyed all those years that I was able to be his friend, I love him and his family and i will never forget those experiences that i was able to have with him. I hope Dayton will be ok as well. Its always sad to see this but i know now and i have always known that God loves him and his family and he is watching over them right now, His plan was created all out of love and he cares for them so much.

Oh dad and your words of council, they are great and i do always try to think about them and do them. Although i am pretty sure that i have heard the mini life story many times but thank you. I have been enjoying my mission so much so far and I know that i will be able to see blessings come soon.   I have seen them already and it's helped me a lot through days that are not very exciting. I know that this is where i need to be and i am glad that I had you and mom get me out here. I have seen so many blessings come into my life and I know there are more to come. I love both of you and thank you for your great examples. Now you have to get Jesse out here and you will be done haha. Then you can prepare for you and mom to serve a mission. I love you all and hope you have a great week.

P.S.- I was given great new this past week... Michigan Beat Ohio State!!!! (Its a Blessing in disguise)
