Hey Fam! Happy anniversary Mom and Dad! I can't believe you guys have been married for 30 years. That is nuts and I bet about 1/100 people in the world have been married for 30 years and are still going strong! A lot of things on my mission have made me think about the future and look forward to what type of husband I want to be. I think The Lord is putting those thoughts into my head because He knows how important it is to have eternal families! Thank you all so much for your emails! They were awesome! So the work keeps moving up on campus! Yesterday M. got baptized and it was an awesome service! I can't believe how blessed I am to see how much the Lord's kingdom is growing. Also, I think a lot of the time we don't recognize how much effect our work on the Lord's behalf is really doing. M's parents aren't members and neither is her whole family and so maybe some day her whole family will get baptized!
ALSO some huge news for this week. A guy we are teaching named A is getting baptized this week too on Thursday or Friday. I know I haven't said much about him but he is absolutely the man. Elder Kozak and I have been working so, so hard to try and help him be baptized and he finally is being baptized this week! We go over every single day and talk to him and teach him for about an hour and we weren't sure if he would commit to being baptized because he would have to change his life around. But just these past two weeks he has stopped some of the bad habits that were holding him back and now he is going to be baptized. We are also teaching an awesome guy named M. who is from Eritria! He actually is in the library with me right now and I saw him and asked him how he was feeling about baptism and he said he wants to be baptized now, haha, which was some awesome news, of course! He is scared of going back to his country where being Mormon is illegal but he knows that being baptized is the right thing. So much faith! The most people that have ever been baptized at Weber State in a transfer is 3 people and we will have hopefully baptized 4 by the end of next week, which would be incredible. The Lord is blessing us so much. Also Elder Kozak and I aren't coaching rugby anymore because the season ended on Saturday but we still are in contact with a lot of guys on the team and hopefully will be teaching a few of them soon. AHH I totally forgot. So I found out yesterday that this one kid on the rugby team named Ross, was in the Doylestown ward and than he told me that he is dating KILEY ASHBY, hahah, SO CRAZY! Ross texted her and told her he was with me and than Sister Ashby called him a minute later and was asking him all these questions about our family and how the family is doing. Haha, Sister Ashby says "Hi," Mom, and that she loves you! I have to get running but I am having Elder Kozak send you a few pictures from our transfer together, and from the baptism yesterday! I love you all so much! The church is true! Love, Elder Powers
