Family, Thank you so much for the love and support in the emails :) It really meant a lot to me that you fasted for Kate and I this past Sunday and I definitely felt the love of The Savior and our Father in Heaven so much on fast Sunday. I went to three sacrament meetings on Sunday and was feeling the Spirit so much all day that I bore my testimony in every Sacrament meeting. When I got up to bear my testimony in one of the wards, I saw A sitting on the front row with his mom, sister, brother, aunt and 2 cousins. His mom came to church for his confirmation and has been coming ever since and, because of A, his whole family is coming now. When I looked down, when I was at the pulpit bearing my testimony, and saw A and his whole family sitting there I couldn't keep the tears from streaming down my cheeks. I just felt so much peace and happiness when I saw them sitting there together as a family. I felt the joy of helping a soul come unto Christ, that is promised in D and C 18. I think one of the greatest blessings I have received these past few weeks is that I have been able to start to see others through the Lord's eyes. Sometimes when we are in the service of other people, we are blessed to feel the amount of love God has for them and also for us. Sunday was definitely an answer to prayer and thank you again for fasting for us.

That is so exciting that you are going to India in a few weeks! Make sure and take a ton of pictures to send me, I need some for my photo album! A few days ago at a Zone Study, another missionary had the hottest pepper in the world from India and he challenged someone to eat it. Obviously, I took that opportunity to prove my manhood and it resulted in a pretty painful experience. After I had the pepper in my mouth for about a minute, I was sweating like crazy and crying. That didn't stop for about 45 minutes and it got so bad the zone leaders had to take me to Wal-mart and got me sour cream and I was just eating gulps of it because my mouth was on fire so bad, haha. No worries though, it was during lunch hour so I wasn't wasting any proselyting time. ALSO, J and K are finally getting baptized this Saturday! We went over there last night and asked J if he was going to get baptized with K on Saturday and he said he got an answer to his prayer! So Elder Dill and I will have two baptisms this Saturday which is awesome :) Anyway I gotta run! I love you guys and pray for you every day! Love, Elder Powers
