Happy Birthday Sis. Flake

Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Oh Family!
So good to hear from all of you......Do you know how much i love and miss you? ALOT! Yes transfers this week more then likely one of us is getting booted out of here. I would love to stay here but i understand that God knows much better then I where i should be. We willl see soon! So yes this city is booming with missionary work.... we barely have time for finding anymore because of all the teaching we are doing....which is a huge change for this ward.... President Nelsons vision and inspiration have changed this mission! Seriously....the amount of baptisems are increasing rapidly....for instance in our ward they usually baptise one a year......since President Nelson got here we have had 4 with 4 more on the way in November! Yes...did i tell you about Mel and Kevin......they commited yesterday.....they are so golden.....and we love them they are so feindly and nice.....and both patrick and David who were baptised both have friends who have been coming to church who want to bea baptised at the end of November. so... i want to say thank you to my little brothers because they have prepared me for dealing with young boys:) God is pouring out his blessings! At Patricks babtism on Saturday the spirit was soooo strong as his father bore his testimony about the Book of Mormon.....its the first time he has ever born his testimony and he has been inactive for over 5 years....so it has been so satisfying and heart-warming to see thier family change and grow while the boys have prepared for baptism. I love them so much.....they have kind of been like a second family this past while. This is the true church! Our Heavenly Father wants so badly for us all to return to HIm someday! I love you! Love, Sister Flake

Thanks for all the birthday stuff! And man i got so many cards and the ward members are so nice to me! Deanna made me dinner and pie and got me balloons...the Danatos got me flowers and cheese cake.... Sammy got me lotion and took us to lunch....and Sherry is throwing a party for me on Tuesday! Wow i have never felt this loved. Thanks so much!
