Letter to President

President,

 

Thanks so much for this past week! What a week of learning and understanding more fully our purpose as representatives of jesus christ!

This past week we saw many miracles. One i would like to share with you though was a family that we were teaching. We were extremely urgent with baptism. We brought it up every single day with them and were really pushing them to be baptized before the spirit had even testified to them that they were ready and it's what they should do. I learned a lot from this experience though president. One lesson as we were pushing them trying to convince them, more then allow the spirit to work in them, this family basically dropped us. They said Elders like we don't know that thats a step we should take right now. You guys are beginning to feel like every other church that comes here to our house and talks with us. SO i learned a lot from this. But as i was praying seeking revelation to know what to do guess what it came down to... LOVE. It all came down to love president. Elder millett and i then talked and counseled and came up with a plan to go and see them. Our plan was to go there to this families home, tell them we are sorry for pushing them to be baptized and that we only did it because we LOVE them so so so so much. We wanted them to receive these immediate blessings that come from this step. SOO president we stuck to our plan and we went and showed them our love. As we did that their hearts softened and guess what.... THEY WANTED US BACK:) Not only that but they CAME TO CHURCH :) Your talk there at stake conference i know is just what they needed to hear president. I appreciate you for following the spirit and doing what you did there. We appreciate all you do for us.

 

Elder millett is doing good. This past week he has been getting down on himself. I have been trying to just help him along the way helping him see the change in not only himself but as he is helping convert souls. He is doing well though president! I love him. I love you thanks for everything!
