Well Rachel B was baptized this Saturday. It was a really cool
experience. She was baptized and confirmed by the husband of the
family she lives with. She got up at the end and bore her testimony.
It was really powerful! She didn't say much, but she said she knew
that Heavenly Father loved her. The Spirit was really strong. There
were a lot of people there to support her as well, it was great. This
week was the mission tour as well. Elder Clarke came and spoke to us
and helped us all realize how much we need to do better haha. He is a
very energetic man that keeps us all paying attention. It was a great
experience and I learned a lot. We were also able to go and teach a
boy and his mother that Elder Williams and I had taught once before
but they were going out of town for a month. So we stopped by one
night and they were home! We taught them and the boy said he would get
baptized if he knew it was true. Bingo :) He didn't come to church
though and we haven't been able to get a hold of him since, so
hopefully we can talk to him again soon. Elder Laughlin hasn't been
feeling well the past day or two, so I've been out working with some
of the people in the stake. He's doing a little better today, but
still doesn't feel the best. Things are going well though and there is
a lot of work to do. I am excited to keep finding people to teach :)
Miracles are real. Have a great week everyone! Love you all

An excerpt from his Mom letter:
I can't believe
school is already starting again. It doesn't seem real. It doesn't
seem real that transfers are next week either. That came out of
nowhere. I feel like I just came to Kearns a week ago. I'm excited to
fall weather/colors. Wish I could take pictures though. Not excited
for snow, especially being so close to the mountains. I like mountains
better without snow, they seem more adventurous. Whereas with snow on
them they seem more majestic. Either way, not excited for snow. That's
cool that you got to go to the Ogden open house! I wish we could go.
Sounds like a fun ward party too. We have a stake fair coming up where
there will be a lot of things going on. This one will include a car
show because.. well people have enough money up here for that kind of
stuff. Anyways things are going well. Love you!
