Welcome to the family Camden
Wow so much is going on back home, I dont know how you guys
are keeping up with all the stuff going on, haha but wow that is so cool that
I've got another nephew!! whoooo, thats so cool and I love seeing the pictures, sounds
like its getting a lot more chilly there, haha its getting cooler here also,
its still hot in the day but the night and morning is cool.
We had a good week this week, we were able to get a lot of
stuff done, and we had a zone conference with President, we talked a lot about
the importance of study and how we always have to be ready to answer the
questions that we will make or that the people will ask us, I have grown
a really strong testimony about the importance of studing the scriptures I can't
lie and I feel super bad , becuase before the mission I was always such a
little hard head, but I have realized how much power and knowledge there is in
the scriputures, sometimes we just read them because our parents make us or its
a commandment , but when we read the scriptures with an attitude like that, we
will not get anything because we are not seeking anything. Start your study
with a prayer and ask questions that our Heavenly Father can answer through his
holy scriptures, look for answers and read with humility, knowing that there is
always something new that we can learn, the scritpures are truly so powerful
and contain the knowledge of things that have passed are passing and will pass. The attention that we put into the study will help us understand the mysteries
of God and through his Holy Spirit we will know the truth of all things

We had two people in the church this week :) a Brother that's
named Ephraim, he's got a friend in the church and his friend gave his
direction and we started teaching him with his friend, hes a great guy and him
and his friend went to church together this week it was super cool :) and he has
a true desire to follow Christ and start fresh, he has had a little
problem with drinking but we are helping him get rid of it and his friend too,
and he has told us that he wants to quit so that he can be batized so he can be
with his parents forever :) he's a really good guy. Michel and the family
Morales didn't go to church this week they haven't been progressing really well. I
think we might have to have a serious talk with them and see what their goals
are and if they are not having goals to be baptized or make the changes necessary in
their lives we might have to stop teaching them for a little bit, but we will be
praying for them and were going to see what happens this week :) Ephraim has a
baptismal date for the 28 of November, please pray for him that he can over
come this addiction and be ready to be baptized this day :) Thanks you guys so
much for all you do, I truly do apreciate it and I know that when we serve
others, we are serving God and with this faith and love that we have for our
Brothers and Sisters God will bless us and help us in our trials. I love you
guys so much and thanks for all you do
Love Elder Tanner
