Great week

Dear Family,

How is everybody? Man Happy Late birthday Heather and JR!!! Man how do you guys feel? Old?? Just messing. Man that is great that everyone is doing good! How are the little grandkids doing? How are Clint and Traci? How is their little girl doing? Man we had a great week here in SC There is this family that is a Part member family.... ( Meaning that not all members of the family are members of the church) The Dad is not a member, but his wife and two kids are. The Mom and kids are pretty less active and have been that way for a while, but the Mother still has a very strong testimony, we have been working with them for a little bit of time, ever since i was with Elder Pineda, and The Dad has neevr really shown much interest in the church because he watched a video about Joseph Smith or something that was anti-mormon..... But anyways, they have had there hearts really softened and they came yesterday!!!! It was great, it felt almost better than having an investigator there. haha well The Dad is an investigator as well... But anyways yeah it was so cool, There names are the Rosales-Salado Family. Man it felt so great to see this family there together at church and enjoying it and see the light come back into ther eyes. Also this sister that has been inactive for over a decade, told us yesterday because we have been working with her for a bit and basically teaching her like an investigator she told us that her and her four kids are coming to church next week. Man i love it! It is so great to bring people closer to christ and bring them back to him. Through Baptism or Reactivation. Also Victor Uribe blessed the sacrament yesterday again and gave the closing prayer. He is doing so great, he also got to ordain another priest to the aaronic priesthood. His son Christian gets the priesthood next week. Man im loving it here! Everything is great, i got to give a last minute spure the moment talk yesterday haha. President Roman the branch president asked me to, but it was fun. I love serving in the branch. Elder Pineda and Elder Allred two of my sons had baptisms this last week, Elder Allred got a couple married then baptized them. Elder Radmall is doing great! He is speaking good spanish. I was able to get some panst on monday thanks Mom they got accidentally ripped the next day, but its alright im going to sow them. I know that these things are true, I invite all of you each and everyone of us to read the scriptures daily and pray daily as a family and individually it makes such a difference, it helps us grow closer. I know we will beblessed for it. Your always in my prayers I love you all, Im going to finish these last few months i got strong. Love you grandma!

Love always,

Elder Riding
