Hey Familia!
Wow, so many emails and pictures to respond to this week! Thank you so much for all of them. I appreciate the pictures and videos especially. The kids are getting so big I barely recognize them, and congrats to Lexie for riding with no training wheels! And Jordan ...keep it up ha, hope it gets better.
So on Saturday we did have 2 baptism's and I was able to baptize one of the people. It was a great program and the spirit was strong. The confirmation went really well too at church, which brings me to my next point. So Mr. Bundy has been bringing his guards with him to church every week, some different ever week. And this morning we got a call from one of the ward members telling us that one of the guys that was at church yesterday with him wants to be baptized. He also said that a lot of the guys out there are Christian and want to learn more about our church. So we are planning on going out to the ranch tomorrow and trying to talk with all those Militia guys out there, we are super excited!!! There has been a total of about 4000 people out there supporting him throughout the whole thing, and the militia have their own camp that they all stay at, so we are hoping we will have some success out there. And don't worry, we will go out with a member of the ward so we're not alone and we know to stay out of trouble, just in case you were wondering haha. So we are hoping that it will give us more things to stay busy with. We have been scheduling member lessons like crazy and also some other programs we're introducing to the members, just to stay busy and get the ward involved in the work. Things are going well, I love it out here, no need to worry.
Mom, I want to wish you happy Mothers Day and hope you have a great day and can rest a little bit. When we skype, please don't make me watch another funeral ha...
On Wednesday we get the opportunity to attend the temple again, which we are excited about as usual. I just wish we could go to the St George one, but that might be bad for Janell haha. We have been studying the atonement a lot this week, directed by President Ahlander, preparing for Zone conference. It's been so good to study it and gain a better understanding of it and how it applies to all of us. I encourage you all to study it more as well, and as we better understand it, our desire to share the Gospel will increase. Thanks again for everything. Your love and support is felt and appreciated. I love you all and hope you have a great week! Elder Smith
