Hey everybody!!

This week has been a really good week for us!  Kennedy got confirmed yesterday which was super cool!  But the really great thing was that 2 less-active families came!  One of them was the Alvsteads, I've never met them because they asked for no contact from the church for a while, but they ended up just coming back on their own which was great!  And the other family is the Rughs (Not sure how its spelled but sounds like Roo)  Brother Rugh approached us at the end of the meeting and asked if we could talk, he then told us that his kids weren't baptized and they were 9 and 11 and that we needed to teach them so they can get baptized!  That was awesome and I hope the kids getting baptized motivate the parents to get active again!

So I'm not sure if I already told this one but it’s awesome!  We went to the hospital a couple weeks ago because Kennedys grandpa was there, he needed to get a pacemaker put it because his blood pressure and pulse were starting to drop drastically so they called us up and asked us to give a blessing.  We go to the hospital and get to his room, give him a blessing, it was really good and left.  We went to Kennedys the next day to give some final things for her baptism and we got an update about her grandpa.  Turns out, the next morning he woke up, and was perfectly fine, and no longer needed a pacemaker or anything!  He was still week and has been riding around in a scooter for a couple weeks, but that was definitely an amazing miracle I was lucky to see!

That’s great to hear about the roof (Especially since I'm not the one putting it on) what are you putting on after the shingles are gone? 

My new companion is Elder Davidson; he is from Logan Utah and has been out about 3 months!  We are going to have a great transfer together, and we will get a lot of work done! 

This is going to be an awesome transfer!
Love,
Elder Pickett
