God Told Me to Come Here, There's A Reason Why Jonathan, Logan and I Are Out Here Doing This and Don't Take it From the Punks

Hey guys!

 We had a pretty good week this week. Now that's it's warm, there's a lot more people out, and way more opportunities to street contact, which is awesome. We contacted into this guy the other day and found out he was from Georgia. We asked what brought him here to Utah, and he laughed and was like, "well, I had a dream the other night and God told me to come here, so I did. I got here a couple days ago." HECK YEAH! We got his contact info and we're going to start teaching him once we figure out if he lives in our half of the apartment complex, or the other elders' half. Good stuff.

I also don't know if I mentioned this, but we had another miracle with the {} family . There's some complicated stuff going on with the baptism and for various reasons they needed to do a waterside confirmation instead of getting confirmed in sacrament meeting the next day. In the past, we'd have to talk to President Hansen to get approval, but the church policy has changed, and we have to get area seventy approval. We knew it would be an uphill battle and that most likely the confirmation would have to be done on Sunday, but I told Brother {} to have faith and that it was worth a shot. I don't know what made me say that, because all evidence showed we wouldn't get approved, but we got a call a few days later saying that the area seventy had given his approval. So yeah, that's taken care of, the interview the our district leader is tonight, and then we're good to go for Saturday! I'm super stoked about this and I'll be sure to send pics.

I know that this work is amazing. There's a reason that me, and Logan, and Jonathan, and all of us are out here doing this, and it's to help share the message of God's love to us, and how that love has made it possible to the Atonement to redeem us of our sins, the gospel so we know how to live with him again, and the Restoration of said gospel in these latter days. I know that these things are true, and can promise this with all my heart. God answers prayers, and if you're in doubt, don't take it from some 19-year-old punks. Go to Him about it. I promise he'll answer you.

That's all I got this week. Hit me up with any questions. Love you all, and good luck with moving to Ashburn!
