Happy Valentines day!
Anyways things here are going great. Right now we're down in the valley at the Gateway mall. One of the missionaries has to take a driving test so we had to come down here. I definitely don't miss it too much. I love it out in Coalville. The work is going well. As y'all saw we had a leadership training. So those were a fun couple of days. This weekend I think I've been the most tired and most exhausted in my whole mission. So there's this kid we're working with that's wanted to be baptized for a few years. But his parents are divorced and the dad won't give him permission to get baptized. So we felt like this weekend there was going to be something different. So we went over on Wednesday and had a lesson and the Spirit was really strong. We promised him that if he talked to his dad at the supervised visit it would be different than last time. So we went by Saturday to pump him up and they said the car broke down and they weren't going to go. So we felt a little discourgaed but had him call his dad right there. He called and the dad didn't answer. So we had him call at 6 p.m. The whole time I'm praying my heart out. I think it was one of the most sincere prayers I've prayed during these couple of days. We called them and they said they talked to the dad and he said no. So we figured out all our options and thought about what we could do. Then we called the assistants and President Winn. One of them told us to call the dad, and the other told us not to. So we were kind of confused and kept praying Saturday night. Then Sunday we were seeking revelation in sacrament meeting. We felt like we should call the dad. So we went to a janitors closet and prayed. The Spirit was strong again. We gave him a call and talked and he agreed to talk to the kids about baptism on the next visit and would consider signing the consent form. So it was a pretty big miracle. The baptism we were planning for this past weekend got moved back to this weekend. So we'll be having 3 baptisms this weekend. I'm excited for them. They should be good. I think that's about all that's going on here. Just working hard trying to help everyone come closer to Christ. It's the best thing in the whole world. I love it. And I love learning new things about the gospel everyday.
