Hey well it has been a pretty good week.

Yesterday Kelton received the aaronic priesthood. And I dont know if you remember, but Kelton's family was very opposed to him learning about the church and basically told him that he should have nothing to do with it. But Kelton, he was a great missionary he invited his family to attend yesterday to see him get the priesthood and so his brother, mother, and sister in law attended and for all three hours and they really enjoyed it. But I dont know how you couldnt love the Hampton ward :)

There was a strong spirit at sacrament meeting as a family in the ward talked about service and then sunday school was great and relief society for his sister in law and mom was great for them. Sunday school was a little interesting because Kelton's brother (William) is pretty high up in his seven day adventist church, and the lesson for sunday school was on the organization of the priesthood, and William did not like hearing that a deacon could not give the gift of the holy ghost. He raised his concern and kept challenging what people had to say. It was borderline contentious, lol, because the way we refer to deacons and think of them is much different than other faiths, but Brother S*chorr, our new ward mission leader and the teacher of the class, and other class members handled it really well and it was able to be understood that the term deacon means different things in different churches. Overall, it was wonderful and his family enjoyed it very much. I really like Brother S*horr, he is a great member and he likes basketball and alot of the same things I do. He is pretty young too. He likes to joke around and so we have fun. He has done a good job since Brother S*ly left. Brother S*ly could never be replaced, but Brother S*horr is doing a great job and I really enjoy working with him too.
So I was pretty excited when I heard that Byu was playing gonzaga. Haha. I normally would want Gonzaga to win no matter what but since I thought BYU had a better chance to go all the way I wouldnt mind if they won. And I heard that BYU won pretty well and that Fredette was making many long range shots. So that was fun to hear about. Well we are doing well. Thank you for your prayers. I love you.

Love
