...so that he could learn more

Bryan's Salvation Army Truck on the left

It was so good to talk to all of you on Christmas Day!!! What a crazy year it has been. I'm glad to hear that everybody is doing well, and excited to see your faces again soon!

Mom, thanks for the email. It was a good reminder, especially this time of year. It was hard not to be with you guys, but I can't say enough how happy I am to be here and how neat it is to come to know and love all the people here.

I don't think I told you about Bryan Brewer. Sister Kelson and I found him a couple of months ago working in a Salvation Army truck. We walked by their often so we left him pamphlets a few times when we saw him and gave him our phone number. He didnt' want to set an appointment the first time so we didn't really expect him to call us back. But one night he called our cell phone and said that he wasn't really sure how to go about it, or if he was calling the right people, but he had really liked what he read and he wanted us to meet with him so that he could learn more.

That NEVER happens! So cool.

The Elders ended up teaching him after that first lesson because he's English speaking, but he was baptized this past Wednesday and all of his family came to see him. His ward meets close by so we were able to go to the Baptism and it was so cool to see him there and happy! I don't even know him that well, but it made my week to get to talk to him and be at his baptism.

This is just another cool story from my time here.
