Hello Family,

Lots of changes in the Raymond Stake! Last night all 8 wards split, changed their boundaries and they created the 9th ward. This means lots of changes for the leadership such as Ward Mission Leaders (WMLs) and Bishops. We have 3 new bishoprics we need to get rolling on the work and 4 new WMLs that we need to get on the same page. Working with leadership has been the key to success in Raymond so we are going to be very busy over the next couple weeks getting things rolling again. It's kinda like starting from square one with a lot of these wards, but I feel confident that these changes will lead to further success in Raymond.

We had an interesting experience with XXXXX, one of our investigators, who had a baptismal date for this last Saturday. On Wednesday we got a call form him saying that he was not feeling good, so we went over there and he was twitching really bad. It looked like he was having a seizure, not a full blown one, but still it was crazy. He calmed down then we went to grab his wife at work and she followed us and took him to the hospital fearing that he could turn for the worse any second. He had a 5-6 seizures since being there. It's been crazy but we have been visiting him almost everyday and keeping up with him. They don't know when he is going to get out.

In other news we are moving apartments this week and we also have a specialized training with the AP's on how we can better our 7 day challenge with the members. Oh ya and its snowing right now...

I love you guys so very much and The Church is true! And I know without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, The Holy One of Israel.
