Hello and Gud' Morning! Hope everyone had a great week and even a greater weekend watching conference! I am such a dork - I didn't even bring my notes with me! golly, I know - so now your just gonna get the stuff I remember... and the memory bank in Elder McBrides head is not too full ;) hahAnyways this week has been really good. Oh so last week I forgot to tell you that I had such a bad cold and my nose was runny, stuffed and just congested... but still being a missionary I went to all my appointments taught lessons and testified of truth... Haha, then this week a lot of our appointments canceled on us because... they had colds with runny, stuffed and were congested... sound familiar -- What a good sharer I am!!!Everything with my all of my investigators are still going great! We (so far) have 6 baptisms lined up and happening within the next couple of weeks. One, I don't know if I mentioned: but, this guy that me and E. Veater was teaching right when I got to Lake Elsinore (Brett Dudley), well we read the BOM with him but then he just kind of left without telling us... but like a week and a half ago he called me up and was like "I'm coming back and I want to get baptized!!" haha So we met with him on friday night and set up his program and he is getting baptized this Saturday! haha what a blessing.. a quick blessing - haha, the funny thing is - he has been investigating the church for over 2 plus years!! Also a girl named Tori Vargis we set a date with! She is friends with so many of the young women in the ward and has been to so many activities! She pretty much knew everything we taught her - so when we committed her she was like "Yup". haha and then all of her friends that were there at the meeting got up and dog-piled on her giving her hugs! haha And We are going to be setting up a couple more baptism dates this week! So keep praying - Heavenly Father is really blessing us right now! Conference was again a blessing to watch... haha for the 2nd time I got to watch it all the way through!! haha I think my favorite parts of conference though was everytime that Thomas Monson would walk in the room...I don't know why - but I could just feel the Spirit so strong that he is a Prophet of God! And after conference when he came and shook the little kids hands... all I could do was smile - what a great man our Heavenly Father called to lead the people! I have no doubt in my mind at all that he is called by God to lead the people right now and that he speaks to God - If everyone would just search his words, ponder his words, and pray about his words ... like the scriptures say "knock and you shall RECEIVE!"Gotta give it to Elders Holland and Hales! They were so bold! Haha, I think Elder Holland has been getting some anti.. lol. But it's so true! - Why would Joseph Smith die for nothing? Why not just say - 'sorry this book is a lie, don't kill me'??? He wouldn't because it is TRUE! and just like Christ knew that his Gospel was true and their was no denying it - well that was the same gospel that Joseph Smith was teaching - so there was NO denying it!! And I will never deny it!I will share more about what I like next week... when I have my notes.. Love you all so much! Listen and heed to the prophets words! Stay safe and NO GETTING SICK! Love Elder McBride
