Oh yeah, broke my finger!

 

Hey Mom!

This week was decent. The only real  big things that happened is that Kegan is still on date and we were able to have a really good lesson with the African American man named Emanuel again. He loves having the lessons and he loves hearing the word of God he says. We taught him the 3rd lesson and he loved it. He said that he likes his church but he feels that it does not hold all the truth. So he is doing really well but he is so busy that we can rarely teach him. But he has a good friend that he considers to be his brother that works with him at the Pentegon and they always have great discussions about the Church. Emanuels friend's daughter was being baptized and Emanuel almost went to it but got really busy and couldnt so that was a bummer. But thats ok. There is this 17 year old that we meet with every week that can't be baptized until he is 18 that was at church. His name is Shelby. Kegan, Becky, and Eleanor were also at church. Kegan is really excited for his Baptism. There was an 8 year old Baptism on Saturday that Josh and Kegan came to and Kegan really enjoyed it. We filled out his record last night and Josh is Baptizing him and Kegan wants me to confirm him. That will be really awesome. Im always pretty nervous when confirm or give a blessing hahaha. But it will be such a great weekend!!!!

 

The other fun thing that happened was we took Josh tracting with us last night. Josh did pretty well. He only knocked 2 doors but did good. We were laughing because the only 2 bad doors we got were both on Elder McAbee. The first one just looked at him and gave him this really funny "ya right" look and slammed the door in his face right he said "hey hows it going" hahaha. The guys face was priceless. Then the 2nd door this guy walked out and just started yelling at Elder McAbee that he doesn't believe in the Aaronic Priesthood and that he has the Melchezedik Priesthood and that he doesnt need the Book Of Mormon and then finished by yelling at him to "PONDER THAT!". Probably the funnest time iv ever had tracting. Josh and I kept telling McAbee to Ponder that lol. Then when we went back to the Richardson they showed us the new dog they just bought. Its a German Shepard thats only 7 weeks old. Its such a cute puppy. Sister Richardson knows i love dogs so she let me hold her first. They bought a girl because the parents were massive and the boy puppies were twice the size of the girls already hahaha. We keep struggling with finding new investigators. So that is what we are focusing on right now.

 

Love Elder Powell
