I cant believe Kylie is 20!! That is crazy! That poem was so
awesome. I printed it out and read it to the office couples.
I already told you most of what happened this last week
through my last email. Not much has changed since then but we have
been seeing some miracles here in the ghetto paradise of southwest
little rock!
First off, Mark is preparing to get the Aaronic priesthood
next week! He is fired up about the gospel and its really cool to see.
Also yesterday Elder Daley and I fasted to find someone that was ready to
accept the message of the restoration. Yesterday evening we were in an
apartment complex talking to a couple people when a woman walked up and
interrupted us and said "Hey are yall Jesus people?" and we told her
we were, and then she asked us if God and Jesus were the same person. Now
usually in the south when people ask you that it means they want to bash and so
we had our scriptures at the hip ready for a quick draw just in case this
became a doctrinal shoot out. But as it turned out she was sincerely wanting to
know because 2 different preachers were telling her 2 different things. So we
taught her a little bit about the Godhead and then she asked if we could come
talk to her and her sister and so we did and shared the message of the
restoration and were able to set baptismal dates with both of them. It was
awesome to see how they just sincerely wanted to know the truth. One thing
I have always taken for granted or never taken seriously before my mission is
the power of prayer. God hears the prayers of his children. I know that without
a doubt! Anyone can have a sense of security and peace even in the hardest
times of their lives if they are constantly praying and seeking out the Lords
comfort. I'm grateful that I can be hundreds of miles away from my mom and know
she will alright through the power of prayer. I love you mom! Thanks for all
that you do for your children!
