Hey!!

Hey!!
Thank you so much for the basket and shirt and such. It was great. Check out the pics. I'm grateful for your prayers. It is so miraculous to think about the many prayers that are directed toward us and the Lords work in general. I had quite an experience this week. There is a less-active guy that started coming to church about 4 weeks ago. The bishop suggested that we teach him the lessons as a refresher course. At first he was taken back at the suggestion because he is an RM and thought that he didn't need it but he casted away his pride and accepted the invite. As we taught him yesterday the Spirit came over me and started to testify of the love that our Heavenly Father has for each of His children. I started to break down as I admited that I was fearful that I cannot reach more of those children in each of the areas that i'm called to. But then the reassurance from the Lord came to me that it was ok and that He is proud of my efforts so far. The greatest gift of the Spirit to me is the comfort that comes through Him and from our Heavenly Father and from our Savior. I relate it to the blankets right out of the dryer that Mom would throw around me back home. Anyway the experience helped me realize that my best will do. It is the same with all of us. Our best will do. After all we can do, the Lord steps in. I believe in the enabling power of the Atonement. I know from experience that He will make our weaknesses strengths if we take them to him. I am grateful for that knowledge. On a more temporal not I'm starting to get my passport stuff filled out so I need a birth certificate and the birth places of Dad and Mom. I love you all and am grateful for you
