Hello family! How are you guys doing today? I am doing great just sitting here in the Weber State Library with a few hundred students who are prepping for finals. I'm pretty grateful right now I don't have to worry about school and that I can just have my eye single to the glory of God! I'm glad to hear everybody is doing so great and that you all got back from India safely! So what's the deal with the move, Chels and Kev? I didn't really understand what that lady was doing with your contract? But that's awesome that you guys aren't sweating it. I love how the Gospel keeps us so grounded and keeps everything in an eternal perspective. I love it. Mom and Dad, thank you so much for making me go to conference all those years for every session. It really is one of those moments where you can tell me "I told you so" because I'm so grateful I was raised to love conference! I can't wait for you guys to listen to conference.
Okay so just a little bit about whats going on here up at campus! Things are finally starting to pick up. Elder Kozak and I have been working hard to get a good teaching pool and finally some investigators are coming through! I'll just tell you about this one awesome girl. Her name is M and she is on the softball team. We have been teaching her for the whole transfer. She knew the church was true and wanted to be baptized and so we were setting a date with her to be baptized and she really didn't have time to do it until June. Elder Kozak and I were pretty upset about it and have been praying that she would be able to be baptized sooner. We told her when she said she was going to put her baptism off for a few months that there would be a ton of opposition. We told her that one morning in a lesson about 2 weeks ago and than she called us that night crying, and said that that day was one of the hardest days of her life! It was so crazy. We told her that something that would help is to get the Holy Ghost and she would have the strength the overcome the adversity. We prayed that a day would be open where she would get baptized and not have to wait until June. The next day, she tore something in her shoulder and now can't play softball for the rest of the season. Now she has the time and will be getting baptized this upcoming Monday! The Lord works in such interesting ways sometimes to accomplish his purposes! It's so great that she is now able to get baptized! I'm so grateful to be here on campus and being able to learn so many things as I try and help people my own age come unto Christ! I have to get going but I love you guys and am praying for you! Thanks for all the support!
Love, Elder Powers
