Dear Dad,
things are going great here. things are just now flipping around. we have 4 people with baptismal dates and 2 more on the way.:) i told mom about one of the individuals who came to church yesterday( which was such an accomplishment for this area.) he is about as tall as i am and about 3-4 times more buff. seriously. he is super solid and things are going well with him. it might stink though pretty soon because transfers are next week and i dont want to miss all that is happening here in knightdale. but its not my will that must be met, but rather fathers.and as for my faith growing, i am pretty sure that it is growing. but i feel like since im so focused on other things most of the time i dont recognize the growth as much. i am however noticing that i am able to follow the spirit more, i feel the spirit more, i am talking to more people and striving harder and harder to find teach and baptize which is central to our purpose.

what you said about your high priest group leader, is amazing. thats crazy infact! i have really desired to baptize a minister. mostly because when you get a leader, he has influence over alot more people. i saw this in an area called lumberton in NC. a asian refugee camp just moved into lumberton and got in contact with the missionaries and especailly with the leader of the group. and since then, they have been having about 40 investigators at church a week. it is so amazing. they just opened up a new branch there because of the growth. and just a fun fact, the branch president that covers that area just so happens to be loyd ricks' brother. they look alot alike. anyway, that is some of the things that are going on here. i might be playing basketball with 4-5 black kids today so wish me luck. i hope they dont own me to badly. i love you dad! thank you for writting me so much!
