I'm going to be a Grandpa!

Alrighty everyone! It's been a great week. 

M- I'm doing super well! It's been a great week! Guess what??  Elder Marsden and I both got training calls! My son is having a son straight out of training! I'm going to be a grandpa! My posterity is growing! I am so excited. The only downside is that that means that I won’t be with Elder Marsden anymore. L

I- Our investigators are doing so great! I feel so blessed. First I'll talk about Kym. We had a really good appointment with her on Thursday at the Dyches home. Later that week we had an appointment with her and the Dyches  at the visitor center. Apparently it went pretty well. Ha, we weren't actually there for most of it though. Elder Marsden and I had to go the Trainers Meeting at the same time, so we just let the sister missionaries at the VC take care of them. I think the highlight of the week though was going to the Betty Davies’ baptism. It made me so glad to see John Davies wife join him as a member of the church. On top of that I found out that Allen England is getting baptized this Saturday! It's so great to see the fruits of my labors in past areas finally being harvested. 

R- Time in the field has nothing to do with how good of a missionary you are. It doesn’t matter whether you've been out for two months, or two years! You have the exact same authority, and the exact same right to the guidance of the Holy Ghost. 

A- Our area has been picking up quite a bit in the past couple weeks. It's a good thing too! Elder Marsden and I are thinking that they're leave us both here and one will keep Redbridge and one of us will take Stanly. 

C- Elder Marsden is great as always. He's going to be a great trainer! He's a little nervous but really excited! Man.. I'm going to miss him! Ha, if one of us stays in Stanly we'll still see plenty of each other…. Every Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. 

L- There is power in inviting. I think I might have talked about this last week, but we've had a big focus on inviting people to be baptized, and it’s brought a lot of miracles. We've invited five people to be baptized. We've had one yes, one no, and three maybes! 

E- Keep praying for us! We need it!

Love, Elder Cluster
