Hey!
I only have 12 minutes to email because we had SO MUCh to do today on p-day! It seems like p-day really isn't a day to relax it's just a day to do work that isn't missionary work. But thanks to you Mama and Papa, I am adjusting to working 24/7 more than I expected.

By the way, 2/3 people who are invited by a friend to receive the missionaries and actually end up meeting withthem, get baptized. TWO OUT OF THREE! Everyone needs to be invited.

But this week has kind of been an emotional one for me particularlyyesterday. Well, essentially just yesterday. I won't share the details but someone close to someone we are teaching isn't doing well at all. Yesterday his wife called and I picked up, excited to see what was up and I could tell right away something was wrong. She proceeded to tell me what had happened through her tears and than asked if Elder Dill and I would come give her a blessing of comfort and than go to the hospital to give her husband a blessing. I don't think I have ever felt more like a 20 year old kid who knows nothing about life before than when I got that call. Elder Dill and I got someone to watch her kids and than got her home teacher to come with us to give her a blessing. Before we went over to her house I prayed harder than I think I ever have in my life. I prayed that my hands would the same as the Savior's. That my hands would be His hands. I couldn't help but feel of the love the Savior had for these people. We went over to their house and Elder Dill gave her a blessing of comfort which definitely was very powerful. Than we followed her to the ICU and when we got there and saw her husband it was pretty scary. He was barely conscious and couldn't really even talk at all or move. The sister asked me if I would bless him. I was praying so hard before I laid my hands on his head that my words would be what Heavenly Father would want me to say. As I laid my hands on his head the words came. I felt so powerfully the love that Heavenly Father felt for his struggling son. After I gave the blessing the brother was tearing up and it was incredibly powerful. I know that Heavenly Father lives. We are His children. I know that is true. I love you guys so much, and am praying for you everyday!
Love Elder Powers

I spoke in church last Sunday and it was great! A lot of people came up and talked to us about how they are excited about us being here...they are way excited about missionary work and we are getting tons of referrals from people who were waiting for some hard working missionaries! I love spreading this Gospel. We just picked up like 4 baptismal dates this week also and its the COOLEST thing ever at the end of the lesson when you extend the commitment to be baptized and they say yes...it might be the best feeling in the world! haha!
