Whoo! Short time with so much to say! 04-30-08‏

WOW! This past week we've set 3 baptismal dates. One is more solid than the other two but still! They're all desirous to know that this is THE church of Jesus Christ. It's absolutely exciting to see the transformation from some of the most hopeless and sorrowful people, into those trying to be disciples. It's so much fun! Andrew Legaspi, Cyrille Chwampka, and Robert Lasseter are our baptismal dates.This last week there was one miracle in particular. Our teaching pool is growing rapidly. We're busy as can be! As we were driving from one appointment to another a bus stopped in front of us. It was a bluebird school bus. The little kids got off and crossed the street as usual. A man on the left side of us hollared to us. Luckily our windows were down because it's finally warming up! He asked what we were selling. Elder Winn responded "We're not, we're handing out free copies of the Book of Mormon." The guy nearly sprinted to us! I got out and Elder Winn pulled the car over. I discussed breifly what the Book is. He was SO excited to take one. He gave us his information and we're pretty sure there's lots of potential there. What a miracle the Lord worked!Moral of this story is... ride with your windows down and you never know what neat things may happen! ha haHonestly though, the Lord blesses us all in our respective callings. He's eager to enable us. We're all called ultimately to live worthy to return to our Father. The way we do that is faith in the Lord, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end! We can all do it. It takes some effort and some diligence but the reward is Eternal life which we learn in D+C 14:7 (<- Kylie Taylor ring any bells?) is the greatest of all the gifts of God!I love you all. If I can do anything from another country for you I will try as long as It's in line with Gods will! :D
I hope the best for each of you.
Take care of yourselves and I miss you each.
Love,Elder McCarty
P.s. the rains are coming and I'm loving it! Elder Keaton says each raindrop makes your wife more beatiful!
