"I am called of God. My authority is above that of kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him--to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my doctrine is His doctrine.My Commission is to do what He wants done; To say what He wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling!"

Hi! First of all, I am so jealous of all of you going to New York for Nicki's graduation. Have fun and take lots of pictures for me! Dad and Grady are both SO spoiled going to watch the Pirates and Phillies, but thats okay, father-sonbonding time is good.
I'm having a difficult time thinking of what happened this week =/ PresidentGardner called and talked to me a while about Grandpa and that made me feel much better. Sister Morgan and I have said hundreds of prayers for Grandpa and the family. I hope you can feel them, I definately have been able to feel peace and comfort as I pray for you. We have Zone conference this week and I have to give a talk and one of the assistants wants me to get up and share an experience during his. So stressful. What should I wear? ah! I'm talking about using the Book of Mormon when finding people to teach. I love the Book of Mormon, I give it a big kiss every morning after my studies =)
One of our investigators, Anna, is really ready for baptism but its been difficult to get her to commit. We prayed all week that she would feel ready when we asked her to set a date and we felt good about it. Then we went to the lesson and I totally just didn't teach at all what we had planned; I just read Alma 32:16 and said, "Anna, you could be baptized tomorrow, you are ready." Shec ried and said she wasn't sure before if she was but she knows it is time and said, "Can we do it this Friday?" =) So we told her to pray about a date and let us know tonight when we see her. Im SO EXCITED!!!!
Funny story, Arthur who is 17 is doing totally awesome; reading scriptures, church, praying. Its great. But we were in Sunday School and the teachersays,"Has anyone every been high?" we were all a bit confused about what he was asking, but I got that he meant a "spritual high", then he repeated the question,"Has anyone ever been high?" So Arthur raised his hand and I busted up laughing, and the teacher was like, "oh no! not that kind of high!" hahahaha. It was awesome. Our district is having a BBQ and playing football in the park, gotta run!
XOXO, love you tons!
