Sweet that you guys had a wonderful time this weekend! I love to see that the cabin is becoming the hang out spot where you take everyone:) I can see that it is being used very well:) I Hope that it still will have that new feel to it after so many uses haha ;) Dad is in Poland?! That is super random!! haha must be a great software deal if he has to present himself there, (business must be going well) Ohhh fourth of july weekend baseball games, sad to hear that scotts team lost...but at least they did their best that they could!!:) There is always next year! Is he liking Baseball or Football better now??
Its super funny because as you guys know, i had lunch today with Maca and her mother and Dani!! It was super special:) They are truly incredible and finally after 20 years of knowing Maca i can finally say that i know the whole story of how we met and the whole thing ahah its was soo fun, she has soooo many pictures of me as a kid that she was showing me and i was dying laughing (i think its safe to say that i was the cutest little kid ever;)) But anyways as we were talking they asked me how old scott was and i just made the connection as she asked me and i was like WWWOOOWWWW scott totally is a deacon now!! I felt the biggest peace as that came to my mind:) He is going to be a fine preisthood man:) I will be praying a lot that he will be able to pass the sacrament with calmness and peace and help those who he is serving feel the infinate love of the savior:) (Make sure he gets Route 1) haha
Little Henry was baptized!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?! I can not believe he is 8 already!!!!!!! I remember like it was yesterday that he was born and wowowowowoww that sounds like it was a really unforgettable experience:) I love to see how mom, you are having those spiritual experiences:) Makes me super happy!! Ever since the last conference when he gave this "talk" about looking at all through gods eyes....really to him what matters is that we as his children progress, and as long as we are heading in the right direction even though it may be a very small step, "choirs of angels sings hosana in the heavens". I love to hear that our beloved family members are little by little taking steps towards the right dirrection, i will be praying tons for them:)
I am so grateful to the savior, he really is the head of this church. Here is a little story, so when i got here to this ward....things were very tense and there was a very aweful relationship between the missionaries and the members (specifically the leaders)....and it was hard for the first few months to acheive working with them and it got to the point that i just decided maybe we just cant really help them.....(i lost hope) but right then in that time the lord really called me to repentance as he inspired me and my companion to teach and train the mission on how we can better work with members...it was very direct and i knew then that the lord needed me to be able to make that change. So as we had studied and studied and studied preach my gospel and counseled with president morgan we came up with a few ideas and as we just strived little by little extending our hand out to them to work in this wonderful way we gained one by one the confidence of members with us to the point that now the Elders quorum is really PUMPING in missionarywork, each investigator that is age for the Melquesidec Preisthood they get on it and really give them the best experience and are striving to build and save them:) We now have 3 potential elders that will be baptized in the up coming weeks thanks to the members of this incredible quorum:) I love to see how he wouldnt let us give up as other missionaries had done in the past but he knew that this was the time to pick things up and he now has changed the hearts of the majority of our ward to be so willing to help and bring their friends to this amazing gospel:)
I love this gospel with all my heart and i thank the lord each and everyday for the blessings he is pouring out upon me and using me to be the difference in the area that i am serving.
I love you guys soo much and pray often you:)
Have a splendid week:)
