Jordan was Baptized!!!

Hey Mom!!!
This week was great!!!! Jordan was Baptized!!!! It was so great to be able to go back and see people from that ward!!! That was on Thursday. That same day we had Return and Report. That is the meeting for all
the new missionaries. Elder Cannon (the first one I trained) was there because he is training as well. After they worked with us for a little then we all went to Jordan's Baptism. Elder Cannon and I gave talks at the Baptism. It was just a really cool experience to be able to see her get Baptized. When we were teaching Kegan (he was working so I didn't get to see him) Jordan sat in all the lessons. We felt bad because she couldn't be Baptized yet. Brother Richardson is a convert and they didn't have full custody of Jordan yet. It must of been hard on her and we felt bad but her day finally came!!!!! A lot of the people that I just love from the Haymarket ward were there. It was like an awesome reunion! Now the whole Richardson family are members!!!!

We had an awesome dinner with the Gregory family. They love to pull pranks on the missionaries and
just love the missionaries in General. One of the pictures I'll send is of us at the dinner. They made Meat Ball
subs and gave us some dorky aprons to wear. They are an awesome family and we are working with someone who lives pretty close to them and really hope to be able to have lessons in their home. We asked the Gregory family about it and they would love it. So that would be something really cool to get started.

We have had absolutely no contact with Blake and Tracey this week. It is really sad. We cant have
any contact at Blakes home because he lives with his Parents and they hate the church so we can only call him to get in contact with him. But he won't answer any of our calls. That's what is so lame!!!!

We have not had the "best steak ever" yet. We are going to call him this week and see when a good time would be for us to come over.  We were able to find a family this week! Their name is the Siepel family. They use to meet with the missionaries a lot but the Sisters pushed them to hard and they told them to stop coming over. They live all the way out in a little town called Clifton that is in our area. Its almost like Culpeper. We do service for them and also teach them. They have a lot of questions, especially the
mom. Her son died in a tragic Go-Cart accident. She is still grieving over it. But the 2 daughters have never been Baptized and are the ones that show the most interest.


Other than that transfers are this week and it will be interesting to see wht happens there! We have
a BBQ with Pres today so that will be fun!

Love Elder Powell
