Hey momma!! how is it going? is bishop holbrook the ney stake prez? haha that would be really funny!! I have been teaching a lady who is personal friends with elder dallin h oaks! and she is getting baptized ony 5th and she invited him to attend her service. Elder oaks said that he would love to be there so he might come to one of our baptisms. he has also been looking for a pair of missionaries to teach his mother in law and he asked her for our names so that he can get to know us!! crazy huh!? i am beside myself cuz i want to meet him really bad! anyways, i love you mom! i am trying to send some heat to you to but i dont think its working. i am sweating off weight and it is killing me but it will be a fast summer than it will be cold again. i hope!

Wow that is awesome!! the part that hit me most is that the way elder malm spoke to maddie and to fish is exactly the way that i speak to people. our mission president gave me a little river rock my first day in the field and told me that it is a little boulder. and than he said that we all need to be a little bolder in everything that we do. I walked into a house the other week and talked to a man and his wife. their kids are falling off the wagon and i wanted to get them back on. I looked at them and said, are you having family home evening and teaching your family, he said no. if that is not bold than i dont know what is. so the next monday night we went over and said well lets have family home evening. and we sat down and had a great meeting with the family. ha and yesterday there was a girl that came to church that i never had seen before but she sat with a less active family, so i walked up and didnt even say hi i just said, have you been baptized a member of the church of jesus christ of latterday saints? she was scared form the question and eventually said yes she has been, so i said great well who do you know that we can prepare to live with our heavenly father again? If we are not bold than we get nowhere. I am very proud of fischer and maddie. they are awesome. fish's number one goal should be to baptize her. he needs to ask the missionaries to come over for dinner and have maddie there. than from there she will take the lessons and enter into the gateway to eteral life. That is an amazing experience! good for you guys! we can all be like Elder malm if we just have the eye to see, the faith to speak and the power of a pure testimony. it promises in the scriptures that we must first seek to obtain his word, than when we speak, the lord will pull out of you well of knowledge and bring to your heart what you need to say. the lord cannot draw from your well to bless others if our well is empty! well i am really glad that you had a spiritual weekend. there is nothing better than feeling the spirit. it is the ultimate warm fuzzy. thank you for the stories that you tell, it helps me. I talked in sacrament meeting and told to story of when our boat sunk in seward. the people here love alaska stories! but ya you guys are awesome! i love you dad, have a great week! i love hearing about the work back home, ill talk to you next week!
