Gordon's Missionary Blog: Letter and Pictures

Hey family!

With Skype I believe I will be able to Skype in the morning. If not I may be able to Skype the day before. Most likely in the morning. Mother's day is coming soon. I'm excited. Can't wait to see you all. This week was great. We spent most of the week preparing Kevin for his baptism. It was great and it all went really smoothly. The baptism was a spiritual experience. I loved it but more important Kevin loved it. He is really happy. We were able to teach Joan this week about the plan of salvation. It was really good. She is understanding and beginning to accept it. She is really interested. It was a good lesson. We were finally able to visit with Alma yesterday. We will hopefully be able to visit each Sunday with her and maybe even have Shatal come and be a part of it. We are hoping. We read in the book of Mormon with Villia in Alma Ch. 7. We are trying to get her to consistently read to help her make the necessary changes that she desires to make. The book of Mormon will really help her. We are trying to help her understand that. We also taught Cleopha. She read in the book of Mormon a little. We read with her the rest of the 3 Ne. 11 and talked about baptism. She accepted a date. We are doing well. Hope you all have a great week!

Love,

Elder King

Kevin right after his baptism. The baptismal service was great. His mother came to support him. She is amazing. She spent all morning providing this big meal for after the baptism. It was great. We are going to try to start teaching her. Kevin gave his mom a book of Mormon. Elder Moli baptized Kevin and I confirmed him. After his confirmation we had fast and testimony mtg. and Kevin got up and bore his testimony. It was great. We are going to be working with him to receive the priesthood and a calling. I think a branch missionary would be perfect for him. He already comes out so much with us.
