Hey family!
Sounds like everyone is doing well.
Sounds
like
everyone else had a great week too, so that's awesome.
L.... was
baptized on Saturday! She is my favorite! I love her so
much. It was
awesome. After the baptism, she came up to us and was
like "I
just need to hug you guys" and comes at me very quickly. I
very
smoothly stepped back and extended my arm at the same time,
quickly
explaining I can't do that. It was fairly awkward and so
disappointing,
because I want to hug her and congratulate her, but you
just can't,
first time that has happened to me. Probably not the last.
I forgot the
notes I had written for this week, so my email my be
jumbled and
not very detailed. Sorry.
We just got
done playing a round of golf, which was really fun. I shot
like a 48 or
so on a par 31 9 hole course. With the amount I have
played golf
throughout my life, I thought I did pretty good. Should
definitely
play golf more, though.

C..... is
still scheduled to be baptized this Saturday, but we aren't
sure it's
going to happen. First off with his mom, and second I just
don't know
if he is ready. But definitely working hard with him.
This week
has been really weird. Lots of just random things popped up.
We had to
help some of the other Elders in Dallas out with some
lessons and
stuff at the last minute, so that was fun. I don't really
know how to
describe it, but this week has just been weird.
About
Mother's Day, I believe we will be Skyping from a members home.
But, right
now I have no idea what time or how to set that up or
anything. I
will have to let you know later. I don't even know how to
let you know
though... We will try to figure it out.
This week I
have been studying a lot about charity. Charity is SO
incredibly
important. If you do everything else right, but don't have
charity, you
are basically worthless. Charity means loving others the
way Heavenly
Father loves them. It means seeing people the way
Heavenly
Father sees them. And it also means loving Heavenly Father
and wanting
to please him. Basically everything that we do stems from
those two
things - love for Heavenly Father and love for others. True
disciples of
Christ have charity. So, work to develop charity, and we
can improve
on all the other Christlike attributes as well. That's my
thought for
this week.
I love you
all. I can't believe it's already Mother's Day this week.
Time is
flying. It's crazy. Have a wonderful week! Make it great! Love
you!!
