A Baby Is Born

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great week! This week has been
pretty good, not very much going on. We had to drop quite a few people
this week which was a bummer but it happens!

The funniest/cool moment from this week happened yesterday. We were
suppose to baptize James yesterday and we were super excited for it.
We met with him everyday this week and he had his interview and was so
ready to be baptized. The only thing that could stand in the way of
the baptism was his wife being pregnant, and of course the day of the
baptism was the day the baby decided to come hahaha. We were sad about
that but super happy for them! After church we were able to go to the
hospital and meet baby Jeremiah. He was so cute and it was really
cool, where he was at only parents and grandparents were allowed in.
The only exceptions for that rule are preachers so we were able to go
back and see him. The spirit was so strong in there it was awesome. I'm
just so happy we've been able to teach James and be there in his
special moment! Its awesome to know that we've been able to help that
family into the gospel and that his kids will now grow up in the
church. It was so humbling and awesome. He's not quite there yet though
we are having his baptism this Saturday so i'm so stoked for that!

A spiritual experience this week was from our zone conference on
Friday. Our mission president and stake president talked and taught us
a really good lesson. They talked about Moses and how he wasn't ready
and didn't think he was qualified to lead he people out of Egypt. Its
the same thing with us not so drastic however. Many times as members
of the church the Lord will ask us to do hard things and as we rely on
Him and realize that alone we may not be able to do it, but with Him
we can do all things. When we realize this the Lord can do miracles
through us.

I hope everyone has a great week and i love you all! And hope everyone
has a great thanksgiving! Happy thanksgiving!

Much love,
