May 9, 2011 Mother's Day Call and Email

Thanks Mom! I'm glad you had a great day. How did Andrew do with the feet wash? Today we just plan on cleaning and chilling. Maybe I'll write some letters. I've been procrastinating to write people back for a while now. oops;) This week, besides getting the double wedding going, we hopefully will be able to extend a few baptismal invitations to some newer investigators that we have.

We had one cool experience last night with Carmen, one of the cousins of Odilia and Reina. We invited her to say the closing prayer after our lesson. This was her first time praying so we ran her through how to do it before she made the attempt. She offered a wonderful prayer and she got a little emotional from the power she felt from talking with our Heavenly Father. It was cool. Yea for the Power of Prayer! She looks to be solid just like the rest of her wonderful, humble family:)

Well, hope you have a wonderful birthday! Thanks for being the most amazing Mom in the entire galaxy!

Love Elder Flake

Hey Grandma!

Thanks for the e-mail. I hope Logan is beginning to warm up a little more now that it's May. I also hope that you had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. Thanks for being such a great mother and grandmother. Especially thanks for raising my mom so well. So have you and Grandpa made any more fishing trips lately? Sorry you didn't catch anything last time. But like you said, at least you got some fresh air :) Fishing is kind of like missionary work. Some days we don't even get a bite (someone interested in our message). But on those days, atleast we went out and gave it our all!

We do have quite a few investigators right now, mostly from one family, so that's good. Hopefully we'll catch a few of these 'fish' and have some baptisms this month. Thanks for being such a great example to me grandma, and grandpa as well. Let me know how Heather's wedding goes. Tell her congratulations for me if you would please.
Thanks!

Love Elder Flake
