Short email this week because it has not been too long since the last time that I was on but this last weekend we had another baptism to an 11 year old boy who has been coming to church for about 6 weeks now and showing his faith very strong each week!! I got to do his confirmation on Sunday and that was my first time ever doing a confirmation and I could feel the spirit so strongly!! I have to say I was nervous but it went well!!
I have finished reading the Book of Mormon and I challenged myself to finish the book in a month and I achieved that goal. It is amazing to see how that has increased my testimony and my teaching ability. The Book of Mormon is a powerful book and the truth of it is so sincere!! Anyways my week has been good!! Love and miss you all!!
