Baptism this week

March 9, 2015

Hi mommy!

I love you more! I was honestly originally testing how my talk was and how I could deliver it. The first one I sent was in front of the mirror on an app from the family history called memory. I've added a couple stories into it. It's a cool app. But you can record yourself, so I did haha :) I didn’t like the sacrament meeting talk as much. For the fireside one on Spiritual Strength I used one of the things you told me about “Yoke-ing ourselves to God”. I got that same scripture from a friend in a letter so I figured it must be important to add. Last minute changes went great!  “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30). Oh I did relative finder last week. Me and McDowell are 5th cousins. (I asked him if he could use relative finder.com. It’s been fun to see the famous people that we are related to. He sent links to his family history account and we are able to listen to him give his talks. He thinks they aren’t that great… as we all sit here in amazement! Modern Technology is amazing!)

Only 40 days till the wedding! Remember this time last year when I had been out for 47 days and Megan only had 47 days left? It's crazy now that she has less time till she gets married! How are you feeling about her moving out? Where are they going to live?

So about the m's, they are getting baptized this week! Saturday!  Haha it's so cool! They asked me to baptize them. My first one! Wahoo! They've been meeting with missionaries for over a year, all really really awesome missionaries. All zone leaders and they asked me to do it. They are even paying for one who has already went home to come out and they still picked me to do the baptism. They are awesome!  President and a ton of missionaries will be there. I'm pretty excited! Thanks for putting them on the prayer roll. B has kind of fallen away. He's been getting busy with work!

The new iPad is the same as the old one haha. Just in newer condition.

It's got 16 more gb. Zone Conference went good. McDowell & I taught in it.

I'm enjoying this adventure. This week has been really busy for us. We've done a lot of preparing for talks and lessons. I think other than the mchattons not much else is new. We drove to grants pass twice. The APs stayed at our apt on Tuesday night for our zone conference the next day. They left their wallets here on accident so we had to drive to GP to give it to them. GP is about 40 minutes away. I went on exchanges to an area in Phoenix. Was super fun. I went with an Elder Ross. We taught 4 lessons. Was good. Oh and I got my package! Love the “Let it Go” theme to it. Thanks so much! Do I have to do anything to get my cards to work? Or just use em ? I love you mom beyond words!  Btw I love this email. Nothing you write to me is ever boring! I love you mom.
