Thank You!!!

Hello everybody!

   Well where to start. How about how lucky I am to have such an amazing family. I received everybody's packages, and all of the Easter eggs with the notes. Thank you very much! I am extremely blessed to have such a wonderful family.

  Well it has been a pretty exciting week! Last Tuesday we had our district meeting with President Jones. It was really amazing and I learned a lot. We were asked to come up  with questions previous to the meeting. So we went around and he answered them and we discussed them. He talked on how we need to "awesomize" the ward. That is something that we struggle with here.  there are very few strong members in the ward.  In my meeting with him after we talked about the parable of the sower and how that can be compared to awesomizing the ward. Something that can be done everywhere. We can all, always be stronger members!

   We had a very good stake conference this weekend.  Elder Kent Richards was presiding to reorganize the presidency.  President Brown, who was the second counselor was called to be the new president.  I went up to talk to him after and he told me to tell Brother Petty ( so forward this to him) they served together.  He will do a very good job. A lot of the people thought before that he could be it, and said that they really liked him. He is a really good man, and he is feeding us steak next Sunday. The old stake president talked and said how he was the second counselor then called to be President and how President Brown was his second counselor. As a sat there and listened it caused me to reflection the weekend before I left. We got to meet with President Jones a lot this week. He and Sister Jones were at stake conference so we got the opportunity to meet with them there as well.

   Have a wonderful week everybody. Less then two weeks until we actually get to talk.  It will most likely be in the afternoon. Take care. I love you all!

 

Love,

Elder Schmidt
