but this week we have been teaching this family of kids who are unbaptized. their ages are 21, 19, 15 and 11. So actually the 21 year old has the same first name as me and he actually has the same birthday as me August 23rd, 1990... i think i might have already told you about this but oh well. so anyways we were teaching and i was like oh you have the same first name as me! and then i found out that we were the same age, and then i asked what month he was born in and then he said august and, i was like....uh what day?? and he said the 23rd... and i was like WOW!! but he was actually born in salt lake and at about 9 in the morning, so he is a little older than i am. but anyways, their situation is that their dad was a convert the the church and then he fell away before they were born and so he didn't want their kids to have anything to do with the church, so they are unbaptized, but anyways we have been teaching them for a while and so i shared with them my experience about how when dad died about how it helped me rely on christ and about how christ always can help us out in times of need. but anyways we had a super spiritual restoration lesson with them and we helped them recognize the feeling of the spirit and so  with that we committed them for baptism, which was pretty awesome!

but another highlight of the week was that we were able to go down to conference for one session. we went to the saturday afternoon session and it was really good.  what i got out of conference is that i need to read the book of mormon more... my studying schedule goes as follow, i have read the book of mormon twice on my mission and i have also read the doctrine and covenats and the pearl of great price and also the new testament twice but anyways when i finish one of thosei just go on to the next one. but anyways i am on the new testament and so i havn't really read the book of mormon in a while and so when a couple of apostles said that we should read the book or mormon more, i was like slapped in the face by the spirit. so i have started again with the book of mormon and also kept on reading the new testament. 

but this week has been an ok week. we are going to be able to work a little better with a car so i am excited about that. but anyways i will drive safe!! and hopefully you drive safe!!

Love
