yo mom and dad!
this week has definitely been a good one except the fact that im realizing
this last few mths , everything is my lasts my last summer in England my
last Christmas and etc its crazy time flies by so fast. but hey its all
good. Things are going good and elders before us left us a good teaching pool.
We are teaching this awesome girl called Cindy and her best friend called
Donna were going to give them dates this week hopefully they will accept.
and were teaching this guy from Sierra Leone, he's called Ishmael. He's so
awesome one of the coolest guys I've met in a while he is so nice and sensitive to
the gospel. He's struggling with a few things but he'll get over them this
week that's what were focusing on. I love the Reading ward its really cool. The
people are so nice and welcoming and they love missionary work. I've been
thinking this week a lot lately, how much my mission has changed me and how
much I've learned. I'm so happy I made the decision to come out here. I see
the world going downhill and I needed these experiences to help me as i
grow. I know for a surety that the gospel is true and this week I promised myself
that I would always put God first in my life, no matter what.
I cant deny that this church is true because I know it is.
I realized this week that time is flying by. I miss you guys like crazy, its weird,
like in the mission im getting really old. There are all these new misisonaries out and
I'm like " who are you"? haha I've been out longer then a lot of the elders here haha its cool though.
I like this area in Reading cause everybody is friendly although there are dodgy
characters here as well most people are open to talk to us. Last week at
church guess who I met, a guy from Arizona , from tempe haha he was over
here on business I didn't know him but it was cool and ironic to meet someone
from Arizona in Reading of all places ha. So yeah, this week has been great
guys. I'm happy and doing good .I miss and love you both so much!

Scripture
Helaman 5:12
And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

The baptism went amazing.
basically she was struggling to get Sundays off and they told her that
she could get them off but then the day of her baptism the manager told
her that if she wanted Sundays off then she would need to find a new job
so she quit on the spot she told them going to church was most important to her! We got the call during stake conference telling us
that and I started crying. Seriously how much commitment does that show? Her baptism went so good. There was awesome
support from the ward which was really good and everything turned out
perfect. I'm very grateful to have been able to baptize her but Elder Corca gave her an amazing blessing and now look what the pay-off is
of her getting baptized.... her 6 kids will now be able to grow up in the
gospel and I guess there's no other feeling that compares to that one. Knowing we changed someones life! Also, drew my last baptism made me a scrap book entry and bore his testimony to me in it and
seriously we changed him and the life of his family. He wants to serve a
mission and its so awesome. mum i love you everything with me is going great I'm happy and time is going by fast! Elder Corca is the bomb! I have lots of
pics to send you so ill definitely do that tomorrow! i love you mom
