 Independence, Kansas

So this week has been fairly busy. On Tuesday we helped a lady in our ward fix her car for a a good portion of the day. Her starter was beyond fried so my companion got under the car and fixed it all up. It took up most of the day but we got to know her a lot better. We had a brother in the ward help us out a little on it to. So for most of you that know me, you know that when I say I helped with the car it means I just watched and made comments the whole time.
     So the biggest news is that Duk Simpson came to church this Sunday  He had a great time and he is almost done with all his w\Word of Wisdom issues. If we can get him to church a few more times he will be set for baptism. We have baptisms lined up from next week until the end of April  We also set a date with an 8 year old that we have been working with. Joshua Estrada is his name. The family was less active and we found them and have been working with them. They have come to church 2 times now and they love it. We have dinner with them quite often because they just love having us in their house. Joshua will be getting baptized by his dad on the 6th of April between the priesthood session and the afternoon session. Sarah Rigney is feeling pushed a little bit so she wants to push the baptism back another month, which is ok. She still has a lot of questions, I just wish her parents would help teach her when we are not there. So other than that we are just waiting a week for all the crazy amount of baptisms to start.
   Well for this letter i just want to take a little time and talk about obedience to the commandments. The scriptures say that any blessing that we receive is because of obedience from a commandment. I know that this is true, the Lord wants to bless us and he has to when we keep his commandments. If you want specific blessing, find that commandment that is tied to that blessing and work at it. We can all use blessing and as we strive for obedience our life will be easier if we look at the big picture.
Well thank you all again for your prayers and your love. God be with you till we meet again.
