Thank you for the package you sent! The keyboard is super helpful
especially for emailing, let me tell you what. It hopes ten times
faster now, and my wrists don't hurt because they aren't at an awkward
angle.
Those videos of TKD are so stinking cute! Reuben's punching video is
so adorable! And I'm legit scared that Owen and Troy are just going to
kick my butt when I get home. Micah too. And Evelyn. And Leslie. What
the heck, Reuben and Gideon will probably be able to beat me up when I
get home too. It's okay though.
That is really hard that dad had to leave already. That came up super
fast. Somehow, I miss him more even though I haven't seen him in a
while. I think I miss him more because now there's a big time
difference too. Idk if that makes sense or not, but it's true. I know
he is going to be okay, and that you guys are going to be okay. It'll
be hard, but it's going to be okay in the end. And it lol be okay
during the whole thing too! You guys are just lucky you get to skype
more often. I'm still wondering how that is going to work when I skype
for Christmas and he is 9 hours ahead. I'll probably just have to
split up the time and do like 40 minutes for you guys and 20 for dad
or something like that.
Anyways, I know that somehow, even though we will all be split apart,
we are going to come closer together as a family. I don't know how
that works, but I feel like it's true. So yeah.
This week has been awesome and tough. Keith was baptized,
and I had the privilege of baptizing him too! That was super cool! He
has one of the strongest testimonies I've ever seen. He absolutely
knows that it is true. He asked to share his testimony in sacrament
meeting, and of course, the bishop was more than happy to allow him to
do that. He is going to be a great strength to the ward, along with
Spencer. Amanda is coming along a lot better. She's still a little
bitter towards the church because she can't be baptized yet, but she
believes it all to be true. It's an interesting and very sensitive
subject. I might give her your email so she can email you and so you
can talk to her actually. I think you sharing conference talks and
that YouTube video can definitely help her. I keep forgetting to show
that email to her, but I'll try to do it today, because we are going
disc golfing with them.
The temple open house was so awesome! It was very spiritual
and we brought Keith and his family and the Hammens. (Amanda and
Spencer). They absolutely loved it. Spencer volunteered for the temple
open house parking and really enjoyed that too, so that was pretty
neat. We have been working on finding new people to teach recently,
and yesterday we found two new investigators, which was aweeesooooome!
One was really cool because we went to her house and knocked on her
door because we heard from some members that she might be interested
and was struggling. So we knocked on her door, and she was very
receptive and open, and was obviously going through a very hard time.
We gave her a Book of Mormon and told her we would be back, and she
said she would like that. It was super cool! I love small miracles
like that!

We can tell that you are working hard and still having fun. The temple looks beautiful. We must add it to our bucket list. Congratulations on your teaching and the baptism of a new convert. May the Lord bless him to stay on the path!
