I struggle to remember anything except the big miracles

This was one of those weeks where we were so busy that come Monday its all a blur and I struggle to remember anything except the big miracles so I'll do my best to give you an idea of what's happening here.

On Wednesday we were able to meet up with Brock at his friend Jack's home and have a really good lesson about the Plan of Salvation. He is super interested and really loves to learn and soaks it all in and then when we asked him if he was able to understand it he told us that it all made sense because his whole life he always felt like there had to be something more than just Heaven and Hell and that until we taught him about the degrees of glory he didn't know what it could be. We were able to teach him again on Sunday after church and it went super well again, he was super accepting of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and was totally willing to live it all.

We finished teaching Ryland all of the commandments this week as well and went over the baptismal interview questions with her yesterday to prepare her for the actual interview. She is super excited for her baptism on Saturday and its so cool to see the pure faith that she has in following Christ's example and commandments. I guess there really is a reason that the Savior has told us that we should be like the little children ;)

Yesterday at church we had two pretty awesome miracles that rounded the week out well. For some reason Sundays are usually the days where the most happens for us. In Sacrament meeting I sat next to Robert Carr and in the middle of the actual Sacrament part he leaned over to me and said he plans to be baptized by the middle of May and that he threw away all of his tobacco and alcohol. And then right after that Elder Summers sent me a text from the back of the chapel where he was with a Japanese investigator and said that somebody had just walked into church and said that he wanted to change his life and then accepted Elder Browns baptismal invite. After Sacrament meeting we sat with him and Elder Benton and Elder Wilcox and talked about his life and why he wants to do this and were able to help him out and then pass him off to them since he is 21.

We are all excited for all the stuff that is happening in this area and this ward and we hope that it will continue happening as we do what we need to and work hard to invite people to come closer to our Father in Heaven and to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Keep choosing the right and doing what's most important, that's the best way to have true happiness.

Love
Elder Cheever
