So how are things going? Everything has been going good for me this week about for everyone back home? so yeah the Van Vleets got home last night and we talked to them this morning and she gave me a big hug and was telling me all about it. She was thrilled that you called her back, anyways yeah they are good people and today was the first time that Elder Hahne met them haha and he's been here for dang near 2 weeks now. yes kade can use my turf cleats but tell him only if they win state cuz if not then im gonna beat him up when i get home! no but tell him he can use them only if writes me a letter after the game and lets me know how it went. haha but tell him and Kraymer good luck for me and to make the most of it, i cant believe they play Riverview haha they will blow over them. I cant believe Royal lost out already i guess they definitely aren't the same program as they normaly have. of course i remember playing up in Cascade as a Sophomore and i got to go in and play quaterback and i threw a touchdown pass to Austin Higuera haha that was my first touchdown on varsity. great memories! that is awesome that Stephanie Ririe got her mission call, i cant imagine going to south america that would be different. So this past 6 days since i last emailed have been going pretty good i have used the Priesthood a bunch. Saturday we went over to the Wallaces and they fed us a big breakfast and it was delicous and then afterwards they both wanted a blessing so i gave one to brother wallace and Elder Hahne gave one to sister wallace, they had been having some health problems well we had dinner there last night and they thanked us again for giving them blessings and they said how it helped cuz the next they felt better. Then on Sunday i had the chance to ordain Johnathon Van Vleet into the office of a teacher and then give him a blessing, his dad isn't the most active and just didn't feel comfortable doing it and his grandpa was up in washington so he asked me if i would do it. They are a way cool family and that was such a great experience, im glad that they asked me to do it. oh and also just on monday night a family wanted us to come over and dedicate there home and so we went over there with the thought that we were gonna leave a blessing on the home and then we ended up giving the Dad a blessing and two of the daughters so it is great to see the Power of the Priesthood in action and how it can bless peoples lives. On last monday i gave that girl Sara Weston a call and talked to her a little bit about the church and i asked her how come she didn't make it to church and she told me, well she was affraid that people would judge her cuz she is pregnant and so i explained to her how some people may judge (even though they shouldn't) but we cant be offended by that cuz going to church is for our own salvation and we dont need to worry about judging others. It's like the parable in John 8:1-11.. read through that and you'll know what i mean. but anyways i also talked to her about the repentance process and just tried to comfort her, well anyways she came to church with her friend on sunday and i guess in Relief Society the teacher made a comment that helped answer some of her concerns and i just love how the spirit can guide people with what to say. Sunday night Elder Hahne and i went over to the Duncans (Sarah's friend) and talked with her to see how Sarah enjoyed church and she said that she loved it and my phone call to her is what made her decide to come to church. it was pretty neat to hear that. They also said that Sarah is wanting to go to Stake Confrence with them this weekend, so hopefully all goes well there. Other than that we have been knocking on lots of doors and trying to visit people, but not too much has come of it but we just keep doing it cuz we know that we will be blessed for it later down the road. i hope that things keep going good for the family, i will make sure to keep in touch as best as i can with letters. thank you for all the love and support you give me it means so much! i miss you and love you! until next week, take care and be safe! bye byeLove, Randy
