Well this week has been busy but great! Elder Bishop and I have been working hard out in the flaming hot country! Its been like 90 degrees out this week! We had an answer to our prayers though! Well from the first week I got into this area of the great and wonderful Walkerton Elder Peck and I have fasted and prayed for a dear sweet family! Well Elder Bishop has now been here for a transfer and a half and we are seeing the answer to these prayers. We are now teaching a family! The mother and father and their 4 kids! The oldest kid is 11 followed by a 10 yr old. With the two youngest being 7 and 4! Ah it was a joy to teach them the Plan of Salvation. The kids were active in the lesson with questions and reading. They all wanted their own copies of the Book of Mormon! The oldest kid even committed his family to be at church next week! Sweet! He said oh yeah we will be at church next week! the mom is the one who we have taught before and she agreed along with the rest of the family to read Alma 32 this week together as a family! Just as the gospel is made to do! To bring families closer together! With this family learning together, and coming to know of the happiness the gospel brings together. It is clear how much closer they will come! The mother made a comment at the end how they dont gather around the table and stay there that long ever unless there was food on it, she herself was amazed at her kids and their learning minds! Then on Sunday there was a Canada Conference! President Uchtdorf, Elder Ballard, Sister Stevens and Elder Pace spoke to us! Oh it was wonderful they all talked about strengthening your own testimony and the role of helping others gain one after your own! Oh and President Uchtdorf spoke for 50 min! Yeah no joke, there was an hour left to the meeting when he got up and I was worried it would only be an hour and a half not the complete two hours, but nope he did it, and it didn't really feel like it! It flowed so well and kept me listening to the whole thing! It is such a blessing to have such humble, wise, loving church leaders who speak to us today what Jesus Christ Himself would say to us. Well thank you for all your support.
love,
Elder Allen
