Hello Everyone! This past week has been busy I have had tons of meetings and stuff like that. On Friday we had to go down to Desert Hot Springs for a zone meeting and then on Tuesday out to 29 Palms for district meeting and then a ward missionary meeting with my ward mission leader. There have been alot of special things happening. On Saturday I had the honor of baptizing David. It was awesome. :) He was so excited to get baptised. His best friend Chris (my recent convert of May) was there totally supporting him 110 % and my other investigator Joyce wanted to see a baptism so we invited her to come check it out. the spirit was so strong during the baptism. After we got out David and I ran into each other out in the hall. He gave me the biggest hug and said thank you so much for doing this for me. He had tears in his eyes and you could tell he was really happy. His non member mother is totally supportive of him in every way. She is a really nice person. She came to church yesterday for the whole 3 hour block. She seemed to really enjoy church alot. When David got the Holy Ghost yesterday during sacrament meeting there was a very special feeling in the room. You could feel Christs love for him and for everyone else so strongly. Now David has his glow about him. He has a light in his eyes. Soon he will be getting the priesthood and he & Chris will be both passing the sacrament.  The both of them are also excited about scouts and all the camping trips this ward does. The gospel is exactly what these young kids need. Yesterday we decided to stop in on this family what we have not seen in awhile. The wife has been going through cancer and chemo.  She did not look good at all. she is so peppy and full of life, and is not letting anything get her down. At the end of our visit she asked me if I could give her a blessing. I felt honored that she asked me to do that. She did not want to take off her bandana all the way becuase she is almost completly bald.  So I gave her a blessing. The blessing was amazing she felt peace and comfort.  Her non member husband was greatful we did this for his wife.  Please keep this family in your prayers.  There has been so much life going on around me down here its always busy for me. I have so many people to teach its awesome. today I will be going out to Joshua Tree National Park again to go Hiking. im going to send pictures soon I promise. I love you all very much and I hope all of you are doing great.  I'm catching up on writing all of you back today.
