My good friend and neighbor actually went on a business trip to Lubbock last week, so I made a poster for Cody and Elder Spencer and asked her if she would hang it on their door. I knew they would be out of town and there would be no risk of a distraction :).
Hey Momma!!
I am so glad that you all got to go and hear Zack and Spencer speak. Haha they are great. That is so funny that Elder Richards gave you a shout out from the pulpit?! I have been so busy these last few weeks that I haven't even told you all about Omar, oops! We have been teaching him for the past couple months, it has been a sweet, sweet, experience. He was actually baptized this Saturday and confirmed yesterday, it was awesome! The Lord really picked up the slack on our part, we were kind of torn between 50 different things, but Omar was still able to keep all of his commitments and receive answers to his prayers. Pretty sweet!
That was very thoughtful of you and Sister Peterson to make that sign, thanks (: It is now hangin up in our apartment!
Yes we are still going around with President for interviews. This week we were in Midland, Fort Stockton, and Odessa. We also had MLC this Friday. Haha busy busy! Our focus was the why behind commitments we extend to investigators, why is it that Heavenly Father would have us keep them. I was the lucky one to draw the Law of Chastity. It was hard teaching that in front of my peers, haha but it was a great learning experience for me and I really learned about the brevity of the blessings of keeping the commandments.
Things are going great mom. I can't believe how fast the time is going. This has been the opportunity of a lifetime, and I want to savor every second while still preparing for the future. Life is good! I sure love you Mom, have a great week.
Love, Elder Backus
p.s. omar is in the white shirt, eli is the one in the suit that baptized him. (due to the size difference it took eli, who is a recent convert himself, four times to get him under haha!)
