Okay so I forgot to put a story in last week and it's a crazy story so I'm going to put it in this week's letter. Elder Leach and I were less active hunting and we came  across a record and the name was Andrew so we went to knock on the door of Andrews' house and this scrawny white guy in boxers answered the door. We asked "Hey are you Andrews?"  "No"  " Well is there an Andrew there?" "no"... "ok" was there.  We then started talking to the guy and this guy was all over the place and off the wall! He ended up telling us that he is the "literal son of Jesus Christ" and that he was atheist because religion killed his father (which was Jesus Christ) and this guy was all over the place he would start telling us something and half way through he would switch gears and start on something else and then stop talking and ask "so what do you think?" And we had no clue what the guy was talking about. It went on a while and eventually elder Leach pulled out his phone acting like some one was calling him and we left...😐

Baptism 

Alli Sanders is one of our investigators that we've been teaching over last couple weeks her family, that she married into, the Sanders is one of the families in the ward that is just the best. On Saturday Alli made the awesome decision to get baptized we had an awesome baptism ceremony. Her father in law baptized her her mother in-law had a talk on baptism and her sister in-law talked on the holy ghost and wow the spirit was way strong and it was so cool so see it all happen. It was just the best! 

Sunday.  

okay so last Sunday in both Alexandria and Pineville wards, one of the members of the stake presidency got up and told us about a special meeting next Sunday at 10 AM for both wards together... so all week long we've been going about trying to figure out what the special meeting was.  Just about every member we came across asked us, "Hey what's going on next Sunday"  we're like "don't know".  So we got the church this morning and they combined the Alexandria ward and the Pineville word into one ward.  They Dave Sanders the bishop. It was an awesome opportunity to see all the new changes in the Ward. I am very exited to see the new ward grow and thrive. 

Well that was the better part of my week, we put the truck into the shop last Monday and we got a call this morning that it will be in there until Thursday... so pray for me! Anyway love you all so much have a good week. 

Love elder Gordon
