PAY DAY!!

I was so blessed with the chance to go to Las Vegas and see two of the most amazing people sealed on May first. I first met the Wests in September of 2008. In fact I met them on my first day in the mission field. That night Sister Dyer and I knew Larry was going to get baptized. Well that didn't happen for a few more months. Larry was baptized in December of 2008. Louise had been baptized in July of 2008, and had been praying that Larry would gain the answers that he was looking for. I was blessed to serve in Maumelle, AR for the first six months of my mission, and I was very blessed to see the Wests almost every day. That was fantastic. When I was transferred to Germantown, TN I was really sad to leave them, and many other WONDERFUL people in Maumelle. To my surprise and the surprise of many others I was blessed to serve in Maumelle again just six months later. However, not all of the same WONDERFUL people I had taught were there... The Wests had moved to Henderson, NV. I was really sad that I didn't get to see them, but I was thankful that they now lived closer to my home. That meant I would be able to see them again. I hoped I would be able to see them sealed, but I didn't know if I would be able to, because they could have been sealed in December of 2009 and I would still be on my mission. However, my dream came true and I was blessed to see this amazing blessing happen. This was a missionary pay day!

I do have to say thanks to Clayton for coming with me. We had a lot of fun, and I never would have been able to really go alone. That would be scary. So thanks a ton Clayt! You are one of the best friends/brothers I could ask for. (Don't worry I love you too Ryan and Erik!!)
