HEY MOM!!
I finally received one package! You said you sent two! Hopefully this Tuesday I'll get the other one! WOW I cannot believe that MTC letter took that long to get there! NOT COOL!!

The baptism this Saturday was a success! He was soo happy to make that 1st step! We gave him a wonderful blessing in church and we also confirmed him there as well.. I will send you pics for sure :) I have been blessed to be in Reading.. I’m learning tons! I will hopefully have another investigator being baptized on the 12 of November! This guy we are teaching is named Francis! He is also African! That has been one of the most powerful teaches I have been in soo far! Strong Words were flying out of my mouth! I felt like Elder Holland for a sec haha ;) I won’t say everything I said in that teach but I can tell you that scriptures that I really didn’t even know of came out of my mouth.. The spirit was extremely strong and if all goes well this guy will take that 1st step to his salvation as well!

WOW I cannot believe Max broke his shoulder! Tell him I said to stop hitting people so hard haha ;) jk But I am happy to know and hear how wonderful things are right now! The scriptures you were telling me about were brilliant I mean great!!  :D I always like quotes or great scriptures because I have really applied them and I have seen the things that come from them! I’m thankful for the priesthood! I never really realized the power of it! People have talked of amazing experiences to me about the priesthood  and I never had it stick in my brain! But since I have really seen how it works and looked back on those experiences I have heard I will never ever doubt it!!

I know my letters are short but before I close I met this guy named Wayne. Wayne does not have legs, he is Scottish, his left arm is severely burned and as well as his face! He told me of an experience that made him the way he is! He said he went to a club with his wife and his 2 best friends! All 4 of the were jacked up on alcohol and ecstasy! Something happened at the club so they decided to leave! They were going extremely fast back home and they rolled their car and hit a huge tree. The car then caught on fire and everyone died except him! He said - I remember waking up while the car was upside down on fire and I could feel the wet grass on my left hand! 3 days later I woke up in  a hospital! The reason why I share this experience is because I feel strongly impressed that my close experience to death will hopefully relate to his in a way and I could get through him.. Missionaries have tried and he will not accept the things which they have taught him. Pray for me that I will be able to see his heart, his needs and answer his questions! til next week!
fLove you mom
