Blessed

We have been so blessed the last few days. We had four investigators out at church. We had B who is getting baptized this saturday, we had DK who came to the church for the first time in 31 years, we had DT, and we had AM who is a youth who has not been baptized yet. It's so amazing because combined I think weve had four investigators combined come to church my previous two months of the mission. Everything just worked out yesterday. The messages in Sacrament and in the classes were seriously meant for our investigators. They all seemed very attentive and seemed like they were touched by the spirit. I know I was church yesterday really gave me a boost. Saturday we taught D.T and he is so sincere. He really wanting to know that this is the true church. We committed him to give up coffee which he did without hesitation and he committed to finishing the B.O.M in the next couple weeks. Keep him in your prayers that he will recieve his answer me and ElderKnecht are going to fast for him next sunday. I am confident he will recieve the answer that yes this is the true church of God. Once he recieves that answer I know he will be a strong member of the church because of his puredesire. I really am starting to grow in love and friendship towards the peopleI teach and offer service too. DT is a great guy andI love B too. I am so excited for B's baptism this saturday at 2. There is quiet a bit of preparation we will have to do to make the baptism happen. I feel so blessed to be having a baptism in my first area especially because Ephrata is pretty set in their ways. The Lord is also blessing us with new referals and opportunities I am certainly not deserving of all the blessings im recieving....... I have a testimony that God loves us and that this life that we live is bigger then anything we can imagine. My testimony of Joseph Smith and the restorationis sure it did happen I testify of that help us grow. Stay close to the Lord. It is through him that we can have the most happiness in our lives. I pray for you all and love you all so
