I wanted to share with you a thought that came to me in my personal study this morning. as i was reading some of the isaiah chapters in 2 nephi i was carried away in a thought. i thought what if we got a call from the zone leaders telling us that the faithful saints in the costal areas were instructed to build boats for the same reason noah was. and that we had to get on the boats in 2 weeks time so that we didnt drown. and we were instructed to informe everyone that would listen to us. i started thinking about the urgencey of the work. i think the very first thing we would do is we would contact all of the people that we love most and start telling them all what we know and what they need to do. and if the didnt believe us we would be very sad for them but we wouldnt waste time with them. we would go to the next person that we know and we would try and save them. after all of the people that we know and love we would start talking to every person that we saw on the street and tell them of the news. i could sence the urgency that would be in our attitudes. now the second comming isnt 2 weeks out. (at least i dont think it is) but it isnt far either and this should be the urgence that we have with us every day. we need to warn the people and help them to repent and then to be baptised! the work we do is the most important. it is urgent. 

The work here is alright we had two baptisims the saturday in the branch. i baptised one of them whose name is jonathan! he is 9 and full of enegry!! he was the baptisim of the sisters!! as well as carmen also age 9 but the other sisters. sorry the pictures wont work... i try to get them to you next week!!
