Hey Everyone,
 
...Hope yall are well!!!!!! :D Happy Mothers day to all yall mothers!
It's been awhile since I have written one of these. We are rockin it
here. My companion now is Elder Murdoch from St. George, UT. He is the
next Tiger Woods(the way Tiger Woods used to be). Not really but he is
a golfer. Pretty good guy, I love him. We run about 2 miles a day he
is a champ! I am exhausted and he is just fine! I hope to be able to
remain here in Saraland for awhile, I really love this ward, there are
so many great members here, I have gotten attatched to alot of them.
SO many really want to do missionary work. One guy has returned to
church he is preparing for a mission right now actually and he is
teaching his friend who is the same age and his friend accepted a date
to be baptized, we taught alot of great lessons this week. Seems like
we have alot more people who will keep return appointments which is
super nice! :D Our Bishop is great, the Elders Quorum has worked with
alot of our less actives returning to get them involved in callings
and etc. I am so grateful to God for this chance and especially for
the Atonement which allows each of us to change and improve. "Bad men
good, and good men better." :D There was this man I met yesterday in
church I haven't met before he lives in Mobile which is our ward but
not our area. Anyways he told me he was coming back to church and I
inquired what prompted him to make the renewed commitment, he replied
this months issue of the Ensign. It was the conference addition and as
he said that my heart was touched. The power behind the words of the
Lord's chosen leaders is magnificent! We can have 100% confidence that
we will be on the right track if we listen to and impliment those
words into our lives. Alot was said about "awakening" and catching the
vision of what the Savior sees in us and also what he thinks of us.
"What thinks Christ of me?" I love the prophet and sustain him. Study
the May 2012 Ensign. What are we to do because of what they said?
Impliment it!  I love you all! Have a great week! Thank you for all
you do and all your prayers! I pray that God's blessings be with you.
