Letter Home - Week 13

Hey family!

I love you all! It's great to hear all the good that's happening! Keep doing good! This week has been really awesome! On Saturday we moved apartments. The one we moved into is way bigger and really nice. Then later on Saturday we had the baptism of Rodrique. I baptized him. He was so happy and felt very blessed. He got confirmed by Elder Whipple and received the priesthood yesterday! He has such great faith and such a great spirit about him. He will do a lot of good down here in the branch and in bringing souls unto Christ. We continue to work with him. Shantel and Petrus are doing really well. They have a lot of good support. We didn't meet with Earl this week but I talked with him on the phone and I felt something different about him. The boys were very happy and thankful to be baptized. They expressed that they felt really good. Kyle who is 13 paid his tithing the day he was confirmed. Nyle is 11 and Shane is 8. We talked with them about the priesthood and Kyle will most likely receive it next week. We started teaching Lenelle's dad who's name is Patrick. He is receptive to what we are teaching. They said they will start reading in the Book of Mormon together. Lenelle will be a big help and strength to his dad. His dad said that he has seen a change in Lenelle since going to church. We also have been teaching this older guy named James Daniel. We had a really spiritual lesson this week with him. He said something really cool. He said,"I know it's true...I know it and cannot deny it" He just needs help in turning to Christ for help with overcoming his addictions. It's good to hear things worked out with the car! Looks nice. I'm proud of Jay. Keep on going bro! Love ya man! I hope the locker is doing okay... I wouldn't want to take a kick from Kaylee ;) Hope her foot heels quick! Mom hope all goes well with the ms keep on fighting! Glad to hear that the school year has started off successful for you Dad! Hope mike is doing well! Love towards each of you and the Douglas clan! Have a great week!

Love,

Elder King
