Happy Birthday Charlie!

Well hello there family!
So first off want to thank you for all the birthday wishes! And I want to let you know mom that I got the package the day before my birthday and so I even waited to open it! Sunday morning I opened it all up and marvelled at the Americaness of all the food! Loved it :) But I must confess it was not the best present I got on my birthday. Let me explain. So last monday things were looking pretty bleak for the week. Didn´t really have that many potential investigators and a lot of the investigators we have weren´t even in town. So we were just expecting a hard time. On monday we had a family home evening with our branch president and an investigator. We invited her to be baptized on the 14th. She said no. Bummer. But we set up another meeting with her the next day. After the lesson on Tuesday we talked about baptism again. This time her answer was a little different. She basically just asked when she could be baptized. We said whenever, but said, why not in one or two weeks. She told us that she has a pretty busy schedule coming up, but that she would like to be baptized that Sunday if she could. We were a little shell shocked, but we said, of course you can be baptized this sunday. We set up lessons with her every day of the week and got an interview lined up for her on Saturday and on Sunday we were able to participate in a baptism. Yeah, Sunday, as in, my birthday :) It may have been the best birthday present I have ever recieved, the opportunity to witness someone enter into the waters of baptism and make an essential covenant with the Lord. Truly an amazing experience and a true testimony that the Lord´s hand is in everything. That´s basically what I want to share with you all today. Just that. The Lord´s hand is in all of our lives. I know things are tough right now for all of us. For Skyler especially. But I want you ALL to know that no matter how many houses we need to sell, how many classes we need to teach or take, how many hours of homework we may have, and how much despair and hopelessness may cloud our eyes, that the Lord is there just on the other side of the fog saying, just a few more steps, just a little while longer. I´m here, I´m going to help you. I love you all so much. I have seen the Lord work miracles and I know that no matter what happens, things will work out. Just keep to the basics, and the Lord will "make weak things become strong unto us". I love you all so much. Keep on keepin on :)
Con amor,
Elder Charlie Flint
