Be careful about turning the Lord's annoited away.

Bom Dia! Meu Familia! (e meus amigos tam bem)

Announcements: I am glad the package was recieved home. Mom, the reason I sent the belt home was because braded belts aren't allowed in this mission. Thank you for your e-mail and your letter this week. I was glad to hear about Mitch's homecoming talk and the lessons on miracles from sister Williams. I am also grateful to be expecting a package. I love you. Thank you Dad for your e-mail and your letter as well. You also mentioned the homecoming talk. Don't worry I will not sing at my homecoming. I hope you enjoy your semi-useful-semi-something-of-a-semi-calling. One of the things I am learning on my mission is that inspiration really is recieved, even if it is in weird ways. In fact I have a story about that a little later. Elizabeth, thank you for the many e-mails of Olivia and the short messages you shared. Those are truly beautiful videos. I still think you need to name your first boy Moroni, Alma, or... Zeniff? I learned a lot about Zeniff this week! Speaking of which I have a question! Who wrote the record of Zeniff's people after Zeniff passed away? I was researching that in personal study today and couldn't find it. I think that part begins in Mosiah.... 12, if anyone wants to look it up. My guess is its Mormon. And it cant be Alma because when it talks about Alma its still in narration form. Anyway, random. Erik, I loved your e-mail today!!!! I am sorry about your itchiness..... :). I was so excited to hear the update about your new classes and stuff, I had no idea you thought of CES. I loved hearing that you are going to TRC!!! Those were some of my favorite parts about the MTC. I want to go after my mission. Please go with me!!!! Thank you for giving me your real address by the way, I was thinking about that after I sent it. Sometimes I am just dumb with letter writing, I did that to Elizabeth too. Sorry about that.

I recieved a letter from Jeffrey Jeffries this week. That was cool. He's a great kid. I also got a letter from Elder Smethurst. That was fun! Sounds like the Vegas mission is doing well. It will always be in good hands with Elder Smethurst there.

Ok, funny story this week. Kind of. Well not funny for the guy it happened to. So we went to Rob's house. (the one that we challenged to be baptized who accepted who fell of date and has been hard to get in contact with ever since) and his son answered and yelled "My dad is finally here!" (the past couple of times we went, Rob has not been home. Or else they have been less than truthful about telling us if he is home.) So the wife answers the door and says she will go see if he is available. Turns out he doesnt want to talk with us. So we leave and pull around the corner to go to another appointment. So we pray in preparation for the next appointment and I just felt like asking Heavenly Father for something to happen to Rob that would make him need us in his life. LESS than ten minutes later he is backing out of his driveway when a car smashes into his back bumper crushing his trunk. (No worries he is totally fine). If he had just had a lesson with us, his car would not have been damaged.

That same day a lady walked into church, and then seeming frightened started walking back out. We quickly got her attention and spoke with her. She was looking for a church and had just moved into the area. She gave us her information, so we are going to go baptize her.

Well unfortunately, the time on this computer is running low. I love you all I hope you enjoyed hearing from me as much as I loved hearing from all of you. I love you all!
