Great Week!! :)

      Thanks for the email this week!!:) Had another great week and did not have really any discouragements. It's great to hear that the family is doing great. Thanks mom and dad for the emails, did help out a lot! Just have to keep positive and focus on the last couple months of the mission.
   So to start off  had another great week. This week was Stake Conference for the Grand Blanc stake. I was able to see couple of members from Flint and also our investigator T.J come out to Stake Conference.  Stake Conference was really really inspiring and also had a 70 come out to Michigan for it. Elder Benet in the 6 quorum. Elder Benet gave a great talk about family's. The exciting part of Stake Conference was that the power went out at the Adult session on Saturday night and was out during Stake Conference on Sunday but the spirit was still there. Another funny thing is that the them of Stake Conference is "let your  light shine".
        T.J will be getting baptized this Saturday at 4pm!! :) It's going to be an amazing day for T.J. We road back from Stake Conference with T.J and we were able to have a great talk with him about his family. T.J has been going through a lot but he still believes and will be baptized even if he's family and his wife are not big fans of the church. The cool thing is that T.J said even if no one comes I will make sure my kid Liam (6 months old) comes and remembers the day his dad got baptized. T.J is already planning on having Liam go out on a mission. :) The family will come around some day.
  Oh I don't know if I've told you but ever Thursday we go over to a soup kitchen and help out. It is pretty exciting and sad to see people with nothing.
      This morning we went fishing at a members house but did not catch anything. Oh well planning on going but on a nicer Monday. Um......don't know if I've told you but Elder Jeffery R. Holland is coming to the mission May 20. So that will be really sweet. I've meet 3 apostles since I've been out here. Elder Dallon H. Oaks ( back in 2012) then Elder Todd Christofferson (in 2013) and will be meeting Jeffery R. Holland on May 20, 2014. It's going to be great.
    Well don't know what else you would like but have amazing week family!!! :) Thanks for being such a great family. How has Brandon (my brother) been doing out in Mexico?
