Time is far spent!

Time is short today. We have to catch a train to Gloucester at 11:22 because we are going to play volleyball with the zone!

This past week has been great!

Richard is getting ready for his baptism and I just love that man! When we first started to teach him he kept saying, "when I get the faith......" But the last few times he alwasy says, "I know...." It has been so amazing to watch him grow like that!!!

Miguel is also doing really well despite the language barrier sometimes. We watched the Restoration DVD with him and he said that after watching it he really wants to pray "with more strength". He prayed for the first time with us at the end of the lesson and it was really powerful. He prayed in Portuguese so I didn't really understand what he said but I could feel the spirit. Phenomonal! I don't know if that's correct but oh well.

I. LOVE. THE BOOK OF MORMON! I am amazed everyday at things that I find that are new to me. You would think after a lifetime of reading I would know the whole thing by heart by now but still things continue to jump out to me! That my friends is the power of God. He knows what we need to learn and when we need to learn it. The Spirit is the best teacher! I hope to have a portion of that teaching ability by the time I go home. But it's by the Spirit that I am even teaching. I don't do anything really...but I'm gonna try. :)

That's all the time I have really. Sorry to be so short. But if nothing else, THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!

Love, hugs, and fist bumps,
