June 4, 2012 A Busy Week

Family,

This has been a busy busy week! We had a baptism last Monday and are working with a few others who are progressing as well. In fact, we received a referral the other day who wanted to meet with us in a Burger King. We were obliged to sit down with him there and discuss the gospel over a few dollar menu sandwiches and chocolate shakes. He came to church the next day and then a fireside Sunday night as well. 

I am constantly in awe of the people in this world who desire to change. It is not an easy thing to do. For the most part I have been ignorant to the challenges these changing people face as they sacrifice to follow God. I appreciate my ignorance at times but at other times I want to know their thought process. I want to know how they came to this conclusion and how they maintained their focus. Their experience can help me to change in the future.

Speaking of change, this week is transfers. I am staying here and guess who my new companion is?!?!?!?! Elder Sparks!!! Again!!! I served with him in Black Mountain, just after Fremont St. I am so pumped! We were only together for a transfer and both of us felt we were robbed and should have served together longer. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Team Sparkin'!!

I don't have too much time to write much else, but know I love you all and love this gospel too.

Love,

EC
