Cedar's Got Talent

Hi,

First off if your not American you might be wondering why this email is coming in on tuesday. It was memorial day yesterday and so all the libraries were closed yesterday. President told us we could email today instead. That meant we had an extra hour of P-Day. What did we do with that time you might ask ?... Our District decided to get together and have a talent show. We had pizza provided by our favorite papa murphy's and a plethora of District Missionary Talent. Lets see Elders Cram, Clark, and Me played songs on our Ukuleles. We played a couple songs out of the childrens songbook and some other songs we could remember before we were missionaries and some we learned out here. Sister Box played guitar and we all sang along to tears in heaven, stairway to heaven (we played together on that one), and Freebird. Elder Prusse and Elder Hayden did a puppet show of Charlie the Unicorn. Elder Wood sang. Elder Ware did cowboy roping he attacked Wood and Me with his lasso and was better at it then we thought and successfully got me and pulled me around the gym. Elder Ware also did some pretty sweet magic tricks. Elder Padrones slaped some sweet base and was the MC for the showing of talent. The last act was a song played by Elder Hayden, Padrones, and Me. We played a song called "Dame El Poder." That translates to "Give me the power" in Spanish. To say the least it was an Epic Spanish Rap. Yesterday was a super fun P-Day and our district is so awesome and talented. The outfits everyone wore were pretty funny to. It was a good day.

This week was Great. Our two baptism went through and I was able to confirm Elissa's little brother Manuel in sacrament the next day. He is 8 and was baptized the same day as his big sister. Justine's was amazing as well, We brought an Investigator we had picked up this week to. The spirit bore strong witness to him of how awesome and true the baptism was. His name is Keith. His daughter and grand daughter was just baptized a month or ago. He was curious about what missionaries had to say.  We met with him last week and put him on date to be baptized on June 24. Keith accepted the date and was very excited to take the things he learned from us to the Lord. It's neat to see how prepared some people are for the message. As we explained Joseph Smith Keith said "so he was lost kind of like I am." He and so many others are ready for this message of the Restoration of the Gospel. The Church is so True!!!

Well it's about that time I get on my soapbox and start preaching so i better be off.
