What a Blessing!

Hi Jared,

This week was exciting! Masen came home on Friday. We went to the airport to video the event for Ensign's. It was so much fun. He looks amazing. He just has this unbelievable glow about him and he was smiling so cute. It was fun to see everyone's reaction. He spoke on Sunday and did a great job. The best part was when he bore his testimony. He said that normally missionaries share their testimony in the language they learned, she he said he'd do his in "Okey". "I want y'all to know I have a testimony...I'm fixin' to endure to the end...etc. it was pretty cute. It got a good chuckle from the crowd.

Did I tell you that Mikayla got her learners permit? She's loving it! And she's getting pretty good. It just doesn't seem possible that she is old enough to be driving.

Well, I am off to the Seminary to do a few missionary haircuts for missionary week. Mikayla has been a sister missionary for two weeks and  has been amazing doing it.  No tv, no radio, dresses every day, scripture study daily, early to bed and early to rise. Wow! It's been fun to watch her transform. She'd be a fantastic missionary.

Love you lots!

Mom


Hello,

We had a great week this week. We got a referral this week to give a blessing to a nine year old boy named Nathan. He has brain cancer and he's staying in Bloomington to receive treatment. About a year ago Nathan was able to go to Utah through the Make a Wish Foundation and take part in a dinosaur excavation near Vernal. The family became good friends with someone there and he asked if he could send some missionaries to give a blessing. We happened to be those missionaries. I was able to give Nathan a blessing and it was such a powerful experience. He's such an amazing boy.

We also got to go to Zone Conference this week in Indianapolis. Zone Conferences are great. I love going there and getting new ideas about missionary work. It always inspires me on how I can improve. 

Things are going better with new investigators as well. We were able to find three people to teach this week. 

Love you,


Jared
