Dad,
wow, that is so crazy that you've been bishop for 4 years now! it does sound like you went on a working vacation to Idaho. but i think that would be the best kind. i enjoyed your insight about prayer. i have noticed that prayer is so powerful and it truly is a kind of work that is often required to have us receive blessings. i have noticed that when we pray specifically for our investigators we are able to see them progress and bring up concerns that we didn't know they had. one script in Alma 10 :6 talks about how the people of Zarahemla were commanded to pray mightily and fast for those "who knew not God" and we have shared that with some member. it is a commandment to pray but not only to pray and fast but to pray and fast for those were are not members of the church.
we had russ' confirmation in sacrament. Russ wanted the bishop to do it but when we arrived at church the bishop was not their. so i had the opportunity to confirm Russ a member of the church and bestow the gift of the holy Ghost. it made think of how much I've grown and changed from the start of my mission to now. the first time i confirmed someone was in February and from that time to now i can see a difference the first time i was scared to death yesterday i was much more confident.
