Amazing Day ;)

Today, Richard, an awesome guy and great friend of our family was baptized. I am so proud of Casey for being such a great missionary and example to him. They met at work and Casey told him about our church. He wanted a Book of Mormon and started reading and taking the discussions at our home. He was so hungry for the gospel. He quit drinking, smoking and drinking coffee. He has had a rough life and gone through a lot and is so excited to be a member of our church. We have really gotten to know Richard in the last few months and it has been such a blessing to be able to be missionaries and see first hand how the gospel can change someone's life.

Casey and Richard


We have the best Missionaries in the Mission field!

after the baptism, he's a new man. We are so proud of him ;)

That is so great! Let Richard know how proud we are of him. It's not easy to make all those changes in your life but I'm sure he feels so great for making them:) I'm so proud of you and Casey too for being such a great examples to him. I'm sure that's why all you kids are starting to move away. You are all supposed to bring people into the church. Love you lots:)
