Family! I feel so similar to Kate. Even though we are all far away from each other I feel so close to the family and am so happy when I read your emails! Okay, so this story is absolutely CRAZY! Chels I can't believe you are pregnant! Last night, I was saying my personal prayers and I was praying for the whole family and when I was praying for you and Kev and Jill and Pete, for some reason I felt prompted to pray for the new baby girl. I thought it was really wierd because I hadn't heard anything about you being pregnant but I followed the prompting and prayed that you and the baby would be blessed. And than I just read Dad's email and it said that you were pregnant! I'm in the Family History Library in Layton and I just told a bunch of old ladies the story and they all started crying and they send their love! hahah I hate to break it to you early Chels and Kev, but you guys are having a baby girl! I LOVE NIECES! haha! Ah gosh I am so happy right now. Kate I can't believe how much success you guys are having in such a tough place to find people to baptize! That is so amazing! By the way I was with Elizabeth Smart in the MTC and I went up and talked to her and told her she was my hero, because like last October when i heard she was going on a mission it really inspired me. I don't know if she would remember me, but that would be so crazy if you guys were companions! haha Mom that is so cool that you were able to help that lady out and that you followed The Spirit like that. Sometimes it is hard to follow the promptings that could potentially make you look dumb if you aren't really following The Spirit, but sometimes we just have to have the courage to try. President Wheatley told me in an interview once that " If you aren't sure if it's a spiritual prompting or not, just follow it anyways and that way you will never miss the chance to be an instrument in The Lord's hands." I loved that counsel so much. It really takes away the gray area if you are just always trying to follow The Spirit. Also I loved the scripture about the armour. Put on the whole armour of God! Hadley, you are so much more mature than I was when I was in 8th grade. You should take Spanish all of high school- i wish I had! There are so many Spanish people I meet that I can only talk with them for like a minute and than I have to pass them off to the Spanish Elders. Maybe you will speak Spanish on your mission! Dad, I am deeply saddened to hear that The Beamer was sold...Clinton Santos is going to be really mad at me because I told him when we were in high school that I would give it to him after he went on his mission haha. Did you save the fur seats?? haha. Also that is SO sweet that you started your own business. I'll come work for you after I graduate from BYU and manage the company while you go play golf worldwide with customers haha. Soon the company name will be J P and Son. Things out here have been going pretty awesome. On Saturday A. got baptized and it was such a great service! I had two Samoan Elders that are in the area next to me, come to the baptism and we sang, Brightly Beams our Father's Mercy, and they are almost as good as Uncle Ovala. It was so awesome! I just found out we can send pictures over email so I'm going to send some pictures of the baptism! Also, this Saturday this awesome girl named K is getting baptized! We found her a week ago and she has been going to church with her less active mom and decided to take the lessons and now she is so excited to get baptized this Saturday. Things with Sister T this past week didn't go so well. We don't really understand whats going on because she told us she wants to get this figured out before she gets baptized. She still wants to be baptized. Anyway, I am so grateful for the love and support. I love you all so much! Something I loved that I found in scripture study this week was 2nd Corinthians 12:9-10. Paul takes pleasure in his persecution for Christ. I love the apostles that Christ called personally during his ministry. I don't think we fully realize how much they went through in standing fast in their testimony of Christ. I love this Gospel so much and am so grateful for all of you! Love, Elder Powers
