Happy 20th Elder Conder!!!!

"Well Well Well, what a week! We have had some great experiences this week. The story actually starts a little in week before this week. When Elder trumpet and I were walking into Canterbury, a young man  named Duane stepped out of the zinc gate of his house. He almosted walked into me, so we started talking to him and then we met his family. I will send a picture of them. they are so cool we have been teaching them ever sense this day. Its amazing the things that we do effect everyone. I am so thankful to know that I am on the lords path by finding the people who are prepared.

The family consists of Mervin the Baby Father, Nicky the mom, Duane, Falecia, Danice, Paul, and random others that show up sometimes. Mervin and Nicky have lived together for 14 Years and are still not married and within this week and half period of hearing the gospel there family has began to make some drastic changes in there lives. They attended church with us this week. After church yesterday we sat down with Mervin, and talked with him and he asked how long do I have to go to church before I get Baptized? We responded and told him that he would have to get married first. We are now wedding planners helping Mervin and Nicky prepare to get baptized on June Forth! We are so excited for this! I can't even think of how great heavenly father thinks this is. There lives are completely changing. There kids are now going to have a father and mother, and they will hopefully one day make it to the temple to be sealed together. I can't image the impact this will have on there kids as they see there parents get married I hope that this will prevent them from shacking up in the future.

Everything we do with the family seems to just fall right in place. The Sorensens came teaching with us and connected really well with them. they helped them see what they can be as a great couple in the gospel.

Well now that you got the good news I thought I would let you know we have another baptism on the 28th this guys name is Peter. Peter is pretty amazing. He has been through it all it seems in his life. As he struggles with the effects from disobedience to the Word of Wisdom he wishes he would have accepted the gospel sooner. He was so sold that when we invited him to be baptized on our fist visit with him last week he said "of Course" as if to say, was that really a question!

Well the weather is dreadfully hot, but  God keeps us moving. I love it here very much.
  
Well I love you All Very much!

Love Elder Conder"
