Teachin 'n Preachin

The OKC 2nd Ward Missionaries

Elder Quijada and me

This was my first week as a District Leader. On Friday we hold training meetings.  The training I gave was on personal revelation through prayer. I had each person analyze their own personal prayers and talked about the importance of it. This was kind of like cleaning the inner vessel before the outer kind of deal. I gave a talk at church on Sunday along with Sister Chugg. She spoke about God answering prayers and I talked about two of the talks this last General conference. "Receiving a Testimony of Truth and Light" By President Uchtdorf and "I Know These Things of Myself" By Elder Christensen. Paige will be baptized probably the 24th. She is due on the 27th so we'll see how all that goes.

Anna is progressing. She wants to read the whole Book of Mormon though before she is baptized and she is not feeling very worthy. Some people are  pretty self critical and we are working on helping her with that. We are hoping to have her over to the Lusks' this evening and teach her there.

I am so thankful for the family I was raised in and the examples of a loving father. That has helped me so much on my mission.

I love my mission and the people here. My new companion is Elder Quijada. We get along really well. He is a great missionary.

Love you!
