It was once again great to hear from Dad this week! thank you for your testimony about the Saviors Atonement! I know that we all have been called to stand as a witness of our Savior and I hope that we do so! So with mike did you have the opportunity to teach him with the missionaries? Our investigators did come to church! continue to pray for that Our district can have the capacity to teach with power and authority and that we may have the gift of discernment!

Whoo Hoo my new son has arrived! Haha and actually he is American. He was only born in Haiti and is adopted! Ha and now at mission conferences my head wants to explode because I am translating for him. haha the other really cool thing is that he served in Utica New York and was trained by one of my friends there! His name is Elder Foster! This week I have reflected a lot on the power of faith! I know that miracles can be realized as we have faith in our Savior! Whether it be for the well being of our family, sharing the gospel with a neighbor, or leaving behind our own sins! Miracles can happen everyday in our lives as we permit them to happen. the real question is how? We must be persistent, without doubt, and show our desire by our works. I have already had many instances here and before my mission that has shown that only through our works and the grace of the Savior can great things come to pass! I continually hope to grow my faith. I hope and pray that throughout this week we may all think about how we can show our faith in the Savior. He gave everything for us and continues to do so! May we show our faith and act!  

Love Elder Bell
