Baptism Set for Brandon - 6-24-09
Well, this week was really cool, we set Brandon McCollum for baptism and have a goal set for Brent Johnson. He is in Minnesota and New Mexico for the rest of the month, so we set him a goal after he gets back.
Yesterday, we had quite an experince as we biked from a members house. We were called over by someone, the man is Bro. Williams, we have met him before, and I never though we would see him again. But, he asked us to give his mother a presthood blessing, and so we did, and I sealed. It was a really spiritual time just for a second, but I kept feeling that during the blessing I needed to tell her that the pain she was feeling was for her good, and that it was a trial of her faith. I have never told anyone that, and I felt that it was what needed to be said. So we will see what comes of it.
I have finally tape laminated my "Preach my Gospel", and was able to start reading "Jesus the Christ". (Mom could you please send out my copy, I am using Elders Shocks copy and would really like my own.) Wow, it is incredible. I started with "Our Search for Happiness" and then went to "Jesus, the Christ" and they are both incredible books. I definately suggest reading them.
That is all I really have for this week, so I love you all, and pray for you always. Bye.
Elder Boy
Virginia ROCK! the church is true, and I love you. read mosiah 3
I almost forgot: Helping hands shirt,
liv'in it up, and
the Elders house with Ice cream
Looking Good!,
and the Ocean at the other end of the country.

Who is your Hero? 06-17-09
William, I saw this on a website and thought that you would get a kick out of it.
I was so happy to get another chance to "Talk" with you.
I love you and pray for you everyday.
P.S. We saw Matt Gaunt from school last week. He was in your tech and weight lifting classes.
He is leaving for the MTC in 2 or 3 weeks and will be serving in the Richmond, Virginia Mission.
So keep an eye out for him. Love Dad
