Elder Bloxham - 2.23.2015

What an amazing week!!!!!! We have been working with the Madison family forever, and they are progressing so well, accept the dad, he's struggling a little bit with Anti... But yesterday at church, Sister Benson went up to them and said, are you guys planning on getting baptized!? And Patrice said yes we want to, but because Patrice can't right now, she wants the kids to be baptized! We get a call from Patrice an hour after church and she said, "is it okay if we bring family to the baptism this weekend?" Holy freak!!!!!! The kids are getting baptized this Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the greatest blessing in my life! The family that we have been putting all of our time, love, and effort into, the kids are getting baptized the last weekend of my mission. I can't wait! 

Another amazing thing that is happening this weekend is Mark Mumford, the returning member in our ward, is blessing the sacrament and he asked me to bless it with him. :) What an amazing way to end a mission!!

There are so many blessings and miracles that happen when we ask the Lord to help us. It's amazing to know that he is there waiting for us to ask, all we need to do is... well, ask! We found 3 new investigators Sunday night because we asked the Lord to bring people into our path. We start moving, and people come into our path! Amazing :)

Heavenly Father lives, and Jesus is the Christ. The Atonement is really and truly for everybody. The Book of Mormon, not only is true, but can get us through every single trial that comes our way. And if we aren't going through a trial, it will make us happy! I can say, (because i have read so many books in my lifetime) that the Book of Mormon is my favorite book of all time. Even better than the only book i've ever read, Where the Red Fern Grows :) hahah!! 

Love y'all, see you in 9 days :)

Love, Elder Bloxham
