oh hello every one! i have had one of the most amazing weeks ever and hope that i have time to fill you in on it all. but it was great to read your emails and hear how every thing is going there! sounds like things are staying white and busy! so good to hear about Shelby, i really hope that she is happy and i really hope that they can both get active and i will hear from them! thanks for getting them my address! that is soo exciting about samantha!! i have had such a strong feeling that she is reseptive and ready! she is a great girl and would really make a strong member! :) thats great that dad has all of his simplot points and i dont blame him, i would go get a free meal as well! :) so what going on with this spring? have you go any contracts set up? what are you doing on darwins place? hopfully everything keeps going smoothly! Well i was sitting here reading all the emails sent to me today and i was reading baileys and i busted up laughing when she was talking about the green bean joke! i dont know if it is really as funny as it sounded or if i have just been away from baileys joking personalitly for too long but it made me laugh! sounds like everyone is keeping busy and running different directions. good to hear! that was a awesome miricle about dad giving you a blessing mom, the priestood is real and i have the opertunity to see that often! what a wonderful blessing it is to have in the home and at all times! we are teaching a few families right now who are single mothers and a few kids and they comment on how good it feels to have the priestood in the home! :) O.K. now i will fill you in on my sweet week!


So i we were at transfers helping missionaries get to and from the mission home and elder hiatt came up to me and he asked me if i had heard? i was like heard what?! he told me that he wanted to be the one to tell me, Alma, Jackie, Cynthia, and Erik Hueartas are getting baptised! i worked with this family the whole time i was in that area and they would always come to church and read and pray but were never too thrilled about the thought of getting baptised, but right before i left the area we set a date for them on the 5th of febuary, Alma needed to be interview by president so they pushed it back and it made them all even stronger! they asked me to be a witness and i got to go back for it on saturday! it was so amazing to see a whole family get baptised! they were all so excited and nervous and there were lots of tears and hugs! HaHa, so sweet to see. they are such a sweet family and threatened to hunt me down if i didnt come back and visit with my family! ha so there we go! automaticly a awesome weekend! so blessed! :)

Lee passed her baptismal interview with flying colors and is good to go for this coming saturday and then they are actually getting married on april 8th! :) so exciting, she is so prepared, one of the most prepared people i have tuaght on my mission so far and i feel so blessed to have been able to get to know her and work with them!

then for the next weekend there is a kid named Tedd who is getting baptised. way awesome and has come such a long ways, we are teaching him tonight! hopfully he told his parents about everything that is happening, he is 20 so they leagally cant do anything but it sure makes it a lot easier if they are chill! so we have been praying for a softened heart, he says they are kinda anti, so we will find out tonight!

the next weekend Sarah is getting baptised on the 18th and then she is getting married to Nathan on the 19th so it will be a crazy weekend! she is so ready and comes to church every week. they are already talking about going to the temple in a year! so that will be a awesome expirence!

I got a letter from Aaron Nichols and they are doing great, he got the melkezidek priestood and month of so back and they are doing great! they have had another kid, thats hard to believe! but it is so awesome to hear from these people and how i affected their lives! i am so appreciative for this expirence! they are set and good to go through the temple in July!!!! so i get to travle back up to Zion (Snowflake) to go through with them! and it actually isnt that far off! :) AWESOME

So today we have some fun stuff planned! we are with the spanish elders, Mills and Williams and we are going to go shopping and then we are taking off for a few hours to watch the Cubs play a spring training game! it will be a lot of fun. if nothing else i will get a hot dog! ;) we arent sure who they are playing but it will be enjoyable! :)

my voice is back now and i am feeling lots better, still have stuff in my lungs but it is going away fast! elder paiz has been having these seering head akes and it has just been really missreable for him and he noticed that his tooth is getting a little tender so he went to the dentist and we found out that his root cannal that he got done a year and half ago is infected so we are going to a specialty doctor tomarro and he is going to get it redone...fun fun...NOT! we do get to go out side the mission though and there is a in and out burger right next to the doc so we may have to conviently pick up a burger! haha :)

we are being so blessed here right now, there are so many people who have been prepared and waiting for the gospel! the church is true because if it wasnt missionaries would have ruined it along time ago, but some how the work keeps moving forward. and it will continue to do so till it has filled the whole earth. we are so blessed as members to have the knowlage we do. brings so much comfort and peace into our lives and people notice the differnece through example. you never know who you are effecting by just being and doing what you are suppost to! thanks for all you do and your love and support! keep it up there and keep in touch! your always in my prayers and hope you healthy and happy! :) have a wonderful week!

Love

Elder Dalan Lerwill
