Well we have had two baptisms in our City of Chely. The first was a man named Vassaslve. He is about 70 years old. The second is a lady about 82 years old. I can not tell you of the humbling feeling I get when I think of what they have seen and been through in their life time. I hear of the psychical hunger and the spiritual hunger that they have endured and I can't help but be humbled for I have never in my life time experience either. I have been blessed beyond measure. We have been asked to sit in on some meeting with the Elders and Sisters not only by them but by their investigators some have worked out and one did not go the way the investigator wanted it to go. The priesthood was lost and now has been restored through Joseph Smith and that is the power and true authority of God and I cannot deny that. The power of the Holy Ghost is real sometimes in these meeting it is so strong that you know you are not alone in testifying and you also know when to stop talking, it is amazing.. The clothes the Elders had for the elderly lady did not look like they would fit so Sunday we were discussing that with the Relief Society then the Grandson came and said oh she has her own clothes and since he was a rm we thought all was taken care of. Well she came out with a red flowered dress or nightgown the Mission President No and No again. It seems like if it matters to the Lord that they are all dressed in White clothes that it would matter too that the Baptism be under the direction of the Priesthood and done by someone who holds the keys and has the authority to perform that ordinance. As you can see we are getting the missionary spirit and are trying to do our part it is hard but very humbling at the same time. I love you all. Please though look around and be thankful for your life and what you have.
