His Testimony of the Holy Ghost

We posted several letters yesterday. This one he emailed today!!!


happy birthday mom. i am so glad that you enjoyed it. i wish i could have been there. sorry my hands were a little tied.jajaja.
wow it sounds like everyone had a great week. macy went on a date, mom had a good bday, brooklyn gave a great talk, wade kicked butt on his jag interview, and weston is crawling. wow it sounds like the week for everyone.

well it was a pretty good week for us as well. we were hoping to have a big weekend but most of the inv didnt come to church. but we are working really hard so i know that we will soon see the fruit of our labors. well we are teaching some really good people. most of the just need to get married. one of the couples was supposed to go and get a marriage date from the city hall. i hope that they did it.
well we had transfers today. nothing changed. we are still here. and happy.

well about the garments. will you guys just listen to me please. i understand that shain used to get them from the mish. but i did tell you that i tried that and they didnt get to the mish. i asked the office elders and everything. they said that a lot of our stuff doesnt get here because the temple is closed. and the distribution center is in the temple. so can you please send me some garments. thank you.

well yesterday i hit the 13 month mark. wahooooo.
hey i have a question. can winter or macy find out how many years of residency you have to have to be able to apply for utah residency. because i might qualify for that and be able to go to school there for cheap.

well can you tell mat that i miss him too. he is such a good guy.

hey today i got a package from the wanlass family so can you tell them thank you. it was so awesome. full of snacks and fun stuff. it is so great. i am going to try and send them a thank you letter. but just for the doubts can you tell them that i recieved it and i send my thanks.

something that i have been reflecting on this week is about the importance and the role of the holy ghost. i have really seen many great miracles when he is present. i have seen grown people cry when the spirit has touched them and testified to them that these things are true. i have seen people have the desire to change everything in their lives to be touched just one more time by his hand. i have seen 2 young young (and goodlooking) kids with almost 0 bible knowledge go up and confound the "wise" or the pastors who have more than 20 years of breathing and eating the bible. i have seen miracles that come when listening to the spirit. i have seen pain and confusion, tears and suffering for choosing not to obey the sweet still voice. it is something very amazing.

macy something that might help you in your talk is that it would have been a whole lot easier if i would have taken the time to seek and learn how to recognize the promptings of the holy ghost. to pray and fast for the presence of him. so at all times one can be influenced by him to help someone out and build up the kingdom of God. one has to have a relationship with him. so that he is your best friend.
as well reading the book of mormon and studying it helps one prepare to serve in the kingdom. one has to have a strong testimony of its truthfulness.
well i have to go but i hope that helps. good luck.

Love you all.
