Hola FAMILY! 

What a great week! Closing weekend for Redfish! What a great year it was! I am so glad! God answers prayers! Good luck Dad as you will be so busy closing up, blowing out the water, and locking up that beautiful place! Get a few weekends up there all by yourself though will ya?

Holy Moly....I can not believe that Brennen is going to be 18 years old! I keep questioning how old I am...and try and convince myself he really isn't going to be 18! Wow! Who gave you the right to have another Birthday? Wow! I will be thinking of you and will be singing in the shower at the top of my lungs a real special birthday song for you! :) 18??? Really? 

Well..... What wonderful sessions of conference! We were able to have 4 investigators come to conference. (Pat, Rob, Ed, and Dennis) We also spent a couple sessions in members homes which is what it is all about! So many good lessons are taught in the home! 

Dad you asked for a little update on how everyone is doing..... 

Ed is doing really well! He texts us a countdown till his baptism and is truly so so excited! Sister Evans and I are praying that we will be able to stay to see more of these people go for a dunk...but I will go where you want me to go dear Lord.  (I just hope he wants me to stay here in Mishawaka!) 

Dennis is progressing every time we meet with him! He bore his testimony this week of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. He just has not put all the dots together to realize that THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS CHRIST'S CHURCH! We have told and taught him multiple times, but he has to gain a personal testimony of it. We will continue to pray and work with him! I Love him! 

Pat...being a little stinker...she cancelled on us this week again. I instantly called her and asked her what was going on. We had a little "chat" over the phone and ended the conversation with another appointment for today. So, please pray for us! (She teasingly called me a persistent little brat!) haha! (You would have to know that it is just her personality but, non the less....I thought it was hilarious!) 

Rob...we extended a baptismal date to him for November 29th and his response was..."of this year?" haha I laughed and said Yes!!...of this YEAR! He said he would and that we are brave for the challenge we are about to face! haha!! I LOVE CHALLENGES! :) I love Rob! 

There are lots more..but Dad..we only have so much time! :) 
  
Something I really learned over conference...or at least gained a personal testimony of was the importance of family and how blessed I am to have to the family that I do!! I was raised the way the prophets and apostles ask us to raise families. I was given the ultimate gospel teachers and examples in the walls of my very own home and how blessed I felt as I watched conference!! I couldn't help but to get emotional when the Brother in the Saturday morning session said the closing prayer and asked a blessing upon the missionaries parents and grandparents. That touched me. How grateful I am for my family who taught me what joy was... and the blessing of living the gospel!!  I am so thankful for my parents and grandparents who taught me the most important things! How lucky am I?  I much like Elder Bednar's talk explained...I am on my mission for the exact same reason that little boy brought out the ointment  for all his friends...because I have been blessed, and I desire others to feel of those same blessings! How thankful I will always be for my family and for the chance I have to find families here in Indiana. 

Well,.. I love you! Happy Birthday Brennen and Mackenzie! I Love you ALL so much! 

Love, 


Sister Clegg the 3rd :)
