Busy Time!

Well HEY,

Well Sunday was the perfect way to end a great week! During the week we had kind of a roller coaster! It was crazy! Awesome! We had found some way sweet families and it was just so great to see! Then on Sunday, more than at any other time on my mission, I felt a greater understanding of my purpose as a missionary. I was blessed to confer the Aaronic Priesthood to Gwlyn. Tricia Williams then was called to be a primary teacher. And Sister Eunice Jones went out to a lesson with some other missionaries and helped them invite their investigator to be baptized, of which was accepted. As I was sitting there and all the talks were on the theme of President Uchtdorf April Conference talk, "You are my Hands", I realized how small I was in their eternal progression. Maybe important, but small. That they now have been called in various ways to serve the Lord. That they have an opportunity to "be His hands". With the fulfillment of the prophetic call to all missionaries, the Lord can then fulfill the work and the glory of the Father. Gwlyn will serve his family and others as he holds worthily to the Priesthood. Tricia as a primary teacher will influence the next and rising generation to be even better than the last. And Sister Jones is helping others come closer to the Savior as through baptism by the Priesthood and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. The best part of this is that this is service that can be done also outside of a full-time mission. I never want to forget what it feels like to be out here. It gives me more hope and has made me desire to be better and to always strive to do so. I am so grateful to be in San Antonio. It is numbered as one of my greatest blessings.

Phillip Settles and Phillip Settles Jr. are very awesome people!! They are very excited to be baptized on the 5th of December!! They saw the baptism of another person this Sunday and they have just gotten more excited!! Phillip the older is 50 and Phillip Jr. is 8.
