Front Row Seats

This has been the best week so far on my mission. Elder Carper and I have seen more miracles this week than I have the previous 8 months. It has been such a blessing to share this wonderful message with families and individuals who are ready to hear it. So this week we found the Townsend family. The dad is a member but he has been less active his whole life. He lives with his fiance Daria right now and her two kids. They are also living with Jeff's grand kids. So only Jeff is a member and recently he decided to start coming back. He has been reading the Book of Mormon every day for the last 2 years and has said how much it has changed his life. Well they have been reading it together as a family and now Daria, and her two kids, as well as Jeff's grand kids want to be baptized. So we have been teaching them. Sorry if you are confused from reading it. The situation is a little complicated. I hope I explained correctly. Anyway it is such a blessing to see a family ready to hear the gospel and be baptized. They have set a date for baptism on November 26th.

Another person that has been a miracle this week is Denise Crivello. She has a complicated living situation as well but I wont bother to explain it lol. She too is someone we have been working with and has recently committed to being baptized on December 3rd. She has gone through so many hardships in her life and is so excited to be baptized. She too, has been changed by this gospel.

The greatest blessing in the world is being able to have a front row seat to watch as the gospel of Jesus Christ changes peoples lives. It brings so much joy. It has changed my life and brought me more Joy than I can explain and now having the privilege to pass that joy on to others is a truly remarkable feeling. I am excited to see the work in this area progress. There are so many amazing things happening right now. I can't wait to see where it will be at the end of the transfer. I love the people here and I love working with Elder Carper.

One of the editors for the ensign lives in our mission. He took a picture of us at the temple and said it will be the cover for the February 2017 issue of the Ensign. Super Cool

I forgot to send this as well. This is my new Zone.
