So, Good News!!!!!

We heard from Scott today! 

He's happy and well!  I actually kinda got to talk to him real-time today.  

I had my email opened and saw when his email posted so I hurried and wrote a quick message back.  He  responded and said, "Haha!  We can kinda text for the next 4 1/2 minutes!" So we shared quick little emails back and forth for his remaining 4 1/2 minutes on the computer today.  It was like old times when he would randomly text me messages like, "Hey!  I love you!!!!!!!"  I sure miss those texts! It was great to "talk" to him today!  He assured me he is doing "SUPER great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  

He was able to send pictures this time but I can't see them at work so I'll post them later tonight.

Well, here's what he had to say....

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, good news!!!!! First of all I have a baptism on Saturday!!!!!!!! Second, I FINALLY got the pictures to work, and third, we had 3 of our investigators come to conference!!!!!!!!!!! How we found our baptism is actually a pretty funny story. We were just contacting one day and we saw a house with young women's poster on the door and we were confused becasue we didn't know any members that lived in the area we were contacting so we contacted that house to see what was up. It turns out the girl that gave the opening prayer that day in church lived there. She's 12 years old, been going to church for a little over a year, and isn't baptized yet. So, we're going to baptize her. Ha ha it was pretty sweet!!!!!! And yeah I uploaded my pictures to my photo bucket. I'm also uploading my MTC one's so I can have them saved in another place so you'll see those one's up there too. And yeah, I got to watch conference. It was cool they let us watch it in English which I was SUPER excited about!!!!!!!!!! And the first thing I said after they made that missionary announcement was, "Heck yeah!!!!! My brother's totally going to be on a mission this time next year!!!!!" How sweet would it be if he gets called to Panama?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I had a dream about it last night and if it all happens how it happened in my dream, it's going to be pretty dang sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But yeah there were some pretty dang good talks this conference!!!!!!!!!! I really liked Sister Burton's and also Elder Packer. That dude knows SO MUCH about the Atonement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was SUPER GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole conference was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also noticed that in almost every talk the speaker mentioned either listen to the spirit, follow the spirit, or follow the promptings from the spirit. I thought that was really cool because that's a very important thing to do in life. God knows us better than we know ourselves and he knows our talents and how we need to use them (oh President Eyring gave a talk in Preisthood session about finding and using our talents given by God. It was also SUPER good!!!!!) and He sends the Spirit to come and give us promptings and help us make the right decisions. So we DEFINTIELY need to follow the promptings from the spirit because the Spirit will ALWAYS lead us to do what's right and to help others. But yeah, it was a dang good conference!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's going to be really cool because there's going to be a TON more missionaries now because of the new age. Because if you think about it, how many people are SUPER strong in the church, go to seminary, and have the desire to serve a mission in high school, and then when they go to college they either fall away or mess up? So I'm really excited about this new change!!!! And it's going to give a lot more women opportunities to serve and the hermanas are BEASTS!!!!!!!!!!!! They baptize like it's nobody's business!!!!!!!!!! So that's going to strengthen all of the missions all around the world!!!!!!! 

Anyways it sounds like you all are doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for all the prayers!!!!!!!! Whenever missionaries said that they could feel the prayers helping them as they go, I didn't believe them. But I can actually physically feel everyone's prayers. There have been so many times where It's been a really stressful day and I didn't think I could walk any longer. Then all of the sudden I felt a boost of energy and I was able to finsh out the day. And I know it was because of all of your prayers!!!! So thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love and miss you guys SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
