Called To Serve: Charleston, West Virginia: May 11, 2015

Just posting Nate's letter this week is a bit anti-climatic since we got to Skype on Sunday. It was great to see his face. It was great to hear his voice. It was great to hear how he was doing and it was great to hear him talking to each person in the family!

Friends and Family,

Happy late Mother's day to all the Women out there!

Elder Ence and I had yet another terrific week! And all it takes is faith, hard work, and exact obedience. I have such a strong testimony that the Lord puts those in our path that are ready to hear the message of the Restored Gospel. There was a case this last Friday morning when we were out walking and a guy ran out of a store shouting after us asking if we were Latter-Day Saints. Our first thought was "oh great here we go, another preacher that just wants to tell us that we are wrong and that we aren't Christian." As we started talking to him he started telling us that he was a drunk, an addict, and a person who had a ton of regrets. But he had read the WHOLE Book of Mormon at the homeless shelter. So we taught him a super brief lesson and set up a time to meet with him. By the end of the lesson in a Rite Aid parking lot he was in tears. We haven't been able to meet with him because he has been in and out of the hospital the past few days.

It was great to talk to the family and others this past Sunday! Seeing how happy my family is just makes me want to work harder and be even better. Because I know that so many other families can benefit greatly from the Plan of Happiness that God has set up for all of us. We have been teaching a family, the Walker family. They are amazing! They are so humble and so hard working, on Saturday we helped them plant their garden. The next day they were at church with both their kids! They seemed to enjoy it.

So I got some great news from the Assistants this last Wednesday at Zone Conference in Charleston! One of the investigators I started teaching in Rocky Mount, Cheyenne, got Baptized this last week! I feel so blessed to be apart of her conversion and I don't have a single doubt in my mind that she won't be a stalwart member of the church.

Erick is still doing great! It will have to be a while before he can get baptized but he's going to get baptized for sure! Every time we go over he has a ton of question about what he has been reading and about the church! It has been such a blessing and a privilege to be apart of his eternal progression.

Thank you all for all the love and support. It really does mean a lot to me and my family.

Have a BLESSED day!
