Family!!
I am loving my new area and companion!!! Elder Dixon and I have been working hard. As a result we have had some very memorable experiences. We refer to ourselves as Team CroNixon. That's good stuff right there.
Shannon's boys were baptized on Saturday!!! It was an amazing event!!! I grew very close to her and her family and it was hard to leave but amazing to watch her husband Wil baptize, confirm and complete their family! The gospel changes lives!
I have met two families here that know the Ka' Aihues!! The TiaTias and the Enos family! So if you can pass the message along I would appreciate it!
We cover just 2 wards now. It is a nice break from the 4 in Black Mountain. One is a family ward and the other a singles ward.
I am racking my brain for what else to share with you all... OH! Mom, I got your package and letters and thank you all so much! This has been a wonderful year. 24 has a good ring to it and good things are to come in this the year of the dragon.
We taught a lesson the other night to a part-member family. As we sat down the mother and father made snide comments about one another and we felt we were playing marriage counselors at the time. As they made their comments they revealed also their style of parenting. I prayed to God as I listened to them that I could hug my parents at that very moment and thank them for being such great parents. It was sad to see the flawed thinking and the spirit of contention among them. But the spirit directed us that night and we were able to leave them with some things they could do to increase their spiritual strength to add strength to their relationship. They agreed and at church the next day they were all smiles! They came up to us after sacrament meeting and thanked us for bringing the Spirit into their home.
It is experiences like these that I love! I love watching the Spirit work! It is like watching a movie. No two lessons are the same yet they are always captivating.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
I love you all!
Love,
EC
