Dear Friends and Family,

Elder T_____ and I had a great week this week! Unfortunately, this is our last week together. He is being transferred up to Euphrata (however you spell it) and I am receiving Elder G.

Good news though...T_____ got baptized!!! It was awesome! It is so cool to see how much a little bit of water can change someones life. Her parents were both so affected by the Spirit that was felt during the ordinances. We also found some SOLID new investigators this week. We visited a former that Elder T_____ was teaching and wow, he had totally had his heart softened since the last visit. He wants to come to church and know how he can help his family. People can change, even in just a few short months. We also tracted into O_____. Apparently, he has been to church a few times with his wife in Herminston, who is not a member who we are meeting tonight. He says that he can feel "the Spirit" when he goes to church and he is very excited to learn with his 5 kids! We also taught I____ (interesting name after an Egyptian goddess) and she really wants her kids to learn about God. So, a bunch of success with a baptism on top! The Lord really blessed us!

So, this week I started the Book of Mormon over again and decided to study it for covenants or promises we make with God. In the Book of Mormon, especially in Nephi, it talks a lot about remembering God and keeping His commandments, which is our baptismal covenant. Always, after it says to do these things, there is a blessing promised; whether it be prospering or having the Spirit to be with us. I encourage you all to review the covenants you have made with your Heavenly Father and then try to see the blessings that he had promised and then given you in your life. I promise you that as you do this, you will see the Lord more fully in your life. I love all of you and hope you have an amazing week!

Love,

Elder Coleman
