Hey everyone!!

This week was super awesome! Chad's baptism was a huge success...with a pretty cool miracle to go along with it! So he had his original date for the 15th of November, he had his interview with President Ellis and passed everything. He was good to go. But... his member grandparents thought it was too fast, he wasn't ready and even said he was already a celestrial being cause of his dissabilities and he don't really even need to be baptised. Plus... they were going on a cruise and everything and won't be back till December 6th. So Elder Stevens and Brother Chamberlin left the home with the date still set for December 6th. That next day Brother Chamberlin gets a text from Brent (Chad's returning less active dad) saying if Chad wants to get baptised and he's ready then he has my "full Support"... So Brent had an interview with Bishop Baker and was found worthy to Baptize his son Chad that next day! So it was pretty awesome. I've never seen The Atonement of Jesus Christ play such a big role and change a heart so fully my whole mission then I saw with Chad! It was truly a miracle and now Chad is super solid!!

So he's probably the second best thing that happend to me this week (After the baptism).. So Elder Stevens' insulin pump broke and he needed a new one sent ASAP. So we called on Monday and he got a new one on Tuesday! We had to go to Irvine to pick it up!! That's not the miracle. The miracle was we paid a little visit to......... JIMMY JOHNS!!!!!! It was the greatest lunch hour of my mission hands down!! haha :) Oh and Elder Stevens got his pump and is doing well! After his blood suger was above 600 but its all good haha!

That was pretty much my week!

Scripture

Doctrine and Covenants 76:69

69 These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood.

Doctrine and Covenants 138:4

4 That through his atonement, and by obedience to the principles of the gospel, mankind might be saved.

Love you all!!
