Letter #21- Joy!

February 16th, 2015

EVERYONE!!!

Want to hear something a little strange, but CRAZY!?

Justin was our Baptism date for February. It dropped! We had an appointment with him last week. We got inside, then he said, "I'm already baptized." Sister Richins and I eyes were widen, and we said, "What?" He told us that he called his step Mom earlier that day and she said, "You can't be baptized twice!" Sister Richins called Brother Killians, who was incharged of Membership Records, right there and then. We gave him Justin's full name and date of birth. Brother Killians said he was going to look it up and call us back. Five minutes later, he called, "Yep! Justin was baptized in January of last year!" We told him, "Thank you!" Hung up and Sister Richins then looked at Justin, "Well, congratulation on being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. . .do you know what this mean?" Justin hestitated, "What. . ." Sister Richins continued, "You have to meet with Bishop! Because of the things you've done. . ." Anyway, we're now teaching him about the Atonement and Repentance process.

Yesterday, Brother Dannehl was ordained as a Priest!!! I am so HAPPY for him! He has the Aaronic Priesthood now!!! We are still working with him, to get him to recieve the Melchezidek Prieshood and prepare to enter the Temple with his wife!!! It brings tears to my eyes and I am filled with exceedingly JOY for Brother Dannehl!!! I love that man!!!

This has to be short since I am running out of times!!! Love you all!!! Keep up the Missionary work!!!

Sincerely,

Sister Hatch.
