I'm 19!!

Whattup y'all! 

Good week out here in Cheney with Elder Case. So Elder Case is from Vegas, we get along pretty good. He is into photography and went to the University of Nevada Reno. We spent a lot of time on campus this week. Unfortunately we had a lot of people cancel appointments. We did, however, teach John. He has that straight surfer flow. He is doing so good. He said this week that baptism is a goal that he wants to work towards. Hopefully he will be on date this week, say a quick prayer for him.

The miracle this week is Keenan. Keenan is a football player at EWU, he was on date last fall and fell away due to drinking and social life. Missionaries have been trying to contact him for months, this week during weekly planning I just felt like calling him, he answered and invited us over on Wednesday. We met with him and he opened up to us and talked about the answer he received about if the Book of Mormon is true. He wants to get baptized. He struggles with giving up drinking, mostly for the social aspect of it. I am so thankful he answered and hopefully he will look at a date to be baptized soon. :) Tender mercies from Heavenly Father. 

In other news I got sunburnt this week and it made me very nostalgic. Mostly over fun summer activities that I can no longer participate in. Oh well.

Thank y'all so much for the birthday wishes!  I appreciate the multitudes of packages that came my way :) means a lot. I am now weighing under 200lbs, BUT with all the junk food I may be back over 200 very soon. If you forgot my birthday was this week, that is ok - I will still accept your birthday wishes. ;) 

This week I read in Alma 43; it talks about the Nephites and Lamanites and their battles. When the Nephites were about the conquer the Lamanites, it said that the Lamanites fought like dragons and they had never been known to be so ferocious. "Nevertheless, the Nephites we inspired by a better cause" I have pondered a lot this week about what my cause is. I invite each of you to evaluate the cause that you are working for. Why do you do the things you do?  

Work hard :)))
