The special aura that they had

Family,

こんにちは！How is everybody? How was ashers b-day party? Did you save me some cake?

Things are going great here. We have two baptisms coming up in the next two weeks and the branch is so excited. I am too!

Also Sandra loved the gift you sent her. She told me to pass along her thanks. We had a lesson with her last week and it was so great. She told us how the book of mormon has changed her life, and how happy and content her life is now that she has the gospel. She no longer has any reason to worry about life because she knows God has a plan for her. Also she has been sharing the gospel with her friend and plans on asking her to meet with us in her home. Its funny because when we first met her she told us about all the mormons she had known and the special aura that they had. And now she herself is glowing with that same special glow. And those around her are noticing it and being blessed by her example. Its such a neat thing to witness. One big cycle of love, faith, and the light of Christ. I love this gospel!

Im still working on getting my companion to talk. Most of the day is taken up by long stretches of silence and conversations with myself in my head (and sometimes out loud). Ive never had an experience like this so its kind of weird. But we will keep working on it.

I love you all so much. Talk to you soon.

Much Love,
Elder Brendan Kingsford
