Hello Everyone, I am doing really well here. We had a baptism on saturday of a little girl named Stella Purnell. It was beautiful. Her father is from England and he baptized her and her grandfather is in the stake high council and he confirmed the Gift of the Holy Ghost. She bore her testimony afterwards and i will never forget what she said. She was really nervous and she said, "I am very happy. I know that Jesus Christ is happy and that makes me happy." Those few words touched my heart and many others that were in the congregation. I also have had many neat experiences this week with investigators. I have realized that just teaching the things they need to do and hear is nothing if we dont know their concerns and help them to overcome them. We have challenged all of our investigators this week to read the Book of Mormon and to ask Heavenly Father if it is true. Also to ask if this is the true church and if Joseph Smith was a prophet. it is so simple and yet we make it very difficult to do. i know that each of their prayers will be answered. It will come in His time and in His way. I am praying with all of my heart that each of them will accept this gospel and enter into the waters of Baptism. i know that it is true. I have recieved my answers time and again. i know that if we accept this gospel and live it we will be able to recieve exaltation and live with our Heavenly Father for eternities. I love you all. May God bless you and keep you safe. Love, Anziano Brewster
