Hello Family and Friends! 

Hope you are all doing well! Sounds like you are all loving life....Just the way it should be loved! :) Thank you for your emails....transfers are next week...so we will find out on Sunday night who and if we are leaving!! Sister Evans will be leaving for sure because of her knees....she is going to a doc in Indy, but as for me..I hope I stay in the land of the Indian Princess..Mishawaka....But, I will go where you want me to go dear Lord. 

We got to watch "Meet the Mormons" this week! All the stateside missions saw it and it was really good! I think that it will be really good for everyone to see...members of the church are very normal! :) Plus, have a love for the Savior! I think that was a nice blend. 

Ed is getting baptized this Saturday! Boy am I excited! He is just an awesome man! He has such passion and I have never heard of an investigator with a testimony as strong as he has of the Book of Mormon! It is touching...he has blessed me so much! I love ED! How blessed I am to be a part of that miracle! :) 

Dennis, Pat, and Ed were able to come to church this week and boy was testimony meeting powerful!! All four of us missionaries were able to bear our testimony and there were some testimonies given that were answers to prayers! I will never forget that testimony meeting. It was a POWER HOUSE! Prayers are always answered when we ask sincerely, with real intent, and with faith. <3  

 There is not a day that doesn't go by that I don't gain a stronger testimony that this is God's work and He is constant. He preforms miracles yesterday, today, and forever! :)  

This miracle is sacred to me...we were teaching Rob, who is a very humble man and he knows very little about the Savior. He was raised in Chicago and had a very hard up bringing. He is what they call "from the hood" : ) But, his girlfriend is a member and we just have hit it off and he is progressing really well! He has a baptismal date and I believe in him!  We were teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, focusing on repentance and never have I been in a lesson like that. The message of hope could not be denied as we taught him about the Savior and His suffering. He was so filled with light as we told him that he could be forgiven. We shared the story of the prodigal son and the spirit filled the room, there was a long pause and he looked down, and slowly as he raised his head tears filled his eyes. He said .......I am the prodigal son, I have made a lot of mistakes and that is my story. I want to come home.  We then were able to bear testimony that because of the Savior we can repent and be forgiven.  We told him of God's love.  He was so excited and you could tell a burden was truly being lifted. Never have I ever had a lesson on repentance like that. That was a sacred lesson to me and words to describe it could not do it justice but, I am so thankful for the Savior. What hope we can have everyday because of HIM!   I love Rob and I know he has a REAL desire. 

This was a special week for me...I was able to reflect on how much I have learned, grown, and been filled with gratitude. I end each day seeing so many miracles and tender mercies of the Lord. I know God lives, this is His work. I LOVE praying to my Heavenly Father. He listens and more importantly He cares.  Romans 8:39 

"We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience on this earth rather, we are SPIRITUAL beings having physical experiences..." Live in the world but, not of it and that is when we can fulfill our full potential and God's plan for us. :) This is where we find JOY! 

Love you all! Thank you for the prayers and support! You are incredible! Sorry..if this was to long?? I got excited! 

:) Love

Sister Clegg the 3rd :)
