This morning we drove to Sister Rachel Mack's home to assist her in packing the family's belongings for their move into their new home. She has 3 small children, so our help was greatly appreciated. We worked with her for about 4 hours. We got everything packed up except those things she needed to keep out to sustain their everyday life. Her husband will be leaving on deployment soon; currently he is away for training for his deployment.

Afterwards, we did our final prep for Institute class. We had a good turnout. A new fellow came out this evening, Cooper King. He seemed to be a nice fellow, very quiet, a returned missionary; I hope we will see him come out regularly.

This evening, Elder Gowans helped the young Elders put together two baptism programs. One fellow, the husband of a lady who we had been watching over during his deployment, just began the missionary lessons last Saturday. He didn't even believe in God a week ago. Then after two lessons, he began to see, in a most vivid way, how serious his wife was about her belief and he said he was lying in bed two nights ago and had the strongest impressions come over him as he thought and pondered on all that he had been taught. He immediately new that there is a God and that what he had been taught was true. He will be baptized tomorrow! The Elders had to hustle to teach him the remaining lessons to make sure he understood all that he was committing himself too. Conversion to the Gospel of Jesus Christ is such a wondrous miracle!
