2+ feet of snow in Virginia!? That is so crazy! People out here keep asking me how the fam is doing and that the snow has been like the storm of the century! Sounds like you guys are having fun with the neighbors too! This week has been pretty awesome. Sister T met with Richard G Scott this past Tuesday and is getting baptized on the 27th of Feb! Also there's this boy named A, who is ten, who we found because his friend C invited him to church. We have been teaching him at C's house for about a month now with all of their seven kids who are under 13. Their family has basically adopted me. Because of them, I want 7 kids. haha! Anyway A was interviewed last night for baptism and is getting baptized this Saturday! I was setting up his program for the baptism and he asked me if I would be the one to baptize him! Going to be honest, that was probably the best feeling of all time. I'm way excited! I was getting worried that the baptismal clothes we bought mom weren't going to be used! Also there's this girl A who is 11 who we have been teaching and last Sunday she got up and bore her testimony in Sacrament meeting! Last night we had her interviewed too for baptism and she passed and is getting baptized Saturday too! It's so awesome to already see the fruit of Elder Dill and I's labor, but we know that we basically just are lucky to be in such a good area and have the opportunity to baptize. On the 21st of February this girl A we are teaching is getting baptized and had her interview on Sunday. How awesome is that!? I feel so blessed that I get to see all these people enter into the waters of baptism and make covenants with Heavenly Father. Also we are lucky to have a bunch of investigators. Elder Dill and I split up almost every single night from 6-9 so we can get to all of our appointments. That has definitely been humbling because the people we bring on splits usually don't say too much so I'm doing about 80 percent of the teaching! VERY humbling. Anyway I have to go but I love you all so much! I hope I hear from everybody next week (hint hint) haha Love you!! The Gospel is true.
Love, Elder Powers
