Excerpts from his parents and grandparents' emails:

This week was SO AWESOME! We found so many new investigators after a crazy amount of fasting and prayer and we had 8 investigators in church! God blessed us so much and we are just so thankful. We wanted to cry and just thank God for blessing us with all these people. We have been praying for a family for some time now and we think we found them. They are the coolest and most prepared family for the gospel ever. They have a little daughter who is 6 years old and are about to have another girl. They lost their little boy about a year back and they want to know where he is. I love them! And I love that my message will HELP them and give them HOPE. I felt like I could see them how God sees them. After we taught them, we both began to cry, well during and after, because we just love them so much. We know they're our brothers and sisters! Experiences like that make the mission worth it!

The time is passing by very fast for me. It is almost hard to believe how fast the days are passing sometimes. I love the story about the woman who had the blood disease for many years and she believed that if she could just touch the border of the clothing of Jesus Christ she would be healed. I gave a talk about her story on Sunday. She stretched out her hand and touched the Savior's clothing and then she was healed. The Savior told her that by her faith she had been healed. For me, that gives a very important meaning to faith. If she would have just only believed and not stretched out her hand and touched the Savior's clothing she wouldn't have been healed. But she had the faith to REACH out her hand and GO to the Savior! That is what saved her. She had the faith to reach. That is faith. The belief and the action based on our belief. The Savior has power to heal and lift if we have to faith to reach and go to Him like the woman. I love it! Love you and miss you! Till next week!
