It sounds like you all had a great week! I'm glad you'll get to see Kathy and others real soon. I hope everything works out with them:) I really do.  Elvis our new investigator said he was trying to fix his life and be happy without God in it and realized that he couldn't. I may have told you this already but to see him change is teaching Elder Clawson and I. He's grateful for everything. He is continually thanking our Father in Heaven. He'll be baptized on the 4th. Chandis tells me one of her friends got baptized this past weekend! Oh baby life is too good. I'm just grateful Heavenly Father gave us things like the Sabbath Day, Baptism, Confirmation, prayer, study, other ordinances and service in order to become more submissive, meek humble, long-suffering, diligent and charitable. I think when we just do these things a change comes over us and we really do become a new creature in Christ. Sometimes it takes a lot to humble people enough to begin doing these things, or start up again but I'm confident most of us will remember our Father in Heaven and all He's done for us and eventually do these things in order to experience such pure joy.


The littles are so cute. My goodness. I hope they survive when I get home because I might just hold on to them for a few days before I let go. I love them and I know they love me. Thank them for saying prayers for me and tell them that I can feel Heavenly Father help me when they ask Him to. Thank you for the pictures. Mom I love ya, dad I love ya:) You're right about the quote "People will forget what you said, they'll forget what you did but they will NEVER forget how you made them feel"....All I remember, aside from a few memories, from when I was younger is how much love I always felt from you two. I knew you loved me, I knew you two loved our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for that love.

We had a good week. We stayed very busy. We taught more lessons then we ever have and had a lot of success. Elder Clawson is just too great. I hope he knows it. Sometimes when I'm bored I just watch him and he makes me smile & laugh. It's great to know him and get to serve with him. I don't have much else. I'm happy and healthy:) Thanks for your prayers and your love. I feel it in a very real way. Hug and kiss the littles and please tell my dad that he's too great and thanks for working so hard. Have a good week:)

Love Elder Paramore
