I thought last week was amazing but this week was miraculous! We just continue to work hard and be obedient and we have picked up another 3 investigators and we are seeing just about all our investigators weekly. It is miraculous! There is one that is progressing fairly quickly toward baptism his name is Ricky. He is a 16 year old kid that takes care of his whole family and has really enjoyed church. Also The single mom is progressing drastically too! It has been amazing to see the change in her that has already come about. she is having a very difficult time quitting her addictions. pray for her. there is one experience that I would like to share. saturday we had a blood drive and we got up at 5 and set up and we were there for the whole thing being canteeners and making sure that people don't pass out. and so when we get home it is about 94 with 60% humidity mid day. we feel like we had hit a brick wall from getting up early, working hard all week and we just didn't have any strength but we had to go out and keep going. We knelt down and I said a prayer just weeping cause I just didn't have anything left. I prayed for strength. and as soon as we got out there. the tired feeling just disappeared. I know that the Lord never forgets about those who serve him! I know that he is helping me through all and that through all my efforts to be worthy of the spirit, I can be that servant he wants me to be! I love you all. Elder Bell
