Service!!!

So I am sorry if I made anyone think that I died last week. I failed to write a mass email. But I remembered this week! Things are going pretty great this week. We are doing such great work. We were busy this week giving lots of service. We did service for our LA member Sandy Johnson (who her husband passed away on Dec. 28th). We have been working a lot with her helping her out with what we can. We did service for her 2 time this week. Helping her around the yard. We also helped to tear down a part of a house. A Recent convert Thomas K. bought a house at an auction and we helped destroy part of it so he can rebuild it. We are also helping him rebuild it. So we got to go get dirty for a while with him. It was really fun. We also helped the senior couple move apartments. We helped them for part of the day on Friday and then we went on a walking adventure afterwards. Our investigators are doing well. Becky and Amy are most likely going to be baptized on the 31st of January. Ben is super ready for his baptism on the 7th of February. The other we are working on getting a date. Also this week I am having the "Opportunity of a Lifetime"........also known as teaching the young women a little bit of ASL....so that will be an adventure for sure. It will be exciting to do that. My spiritual thought this week comes from a talk entitled "What Manner of Men ought ye to be". in it it says "One of the most important questions ever asked to mortal men was asked by the Son of God himself, the Savior of the world. To a group of disciples in the New World, a group anxious to be taught by him and even more anxious because he would soon be leaving them, he asked, “What manner of men ought ye to be?” Then in the same breath he gave this answer: “Even as I am” (3 Ne. 27:27)." Let us try to be like to savior. Love you all. hope you all have a fantastic week. Love Elder Betts. A email from the sweet Senior Missionaries. Greetings to the Betts Family, We have enjoyed having Elder Betts and his companion in our home (apartment) this morning. They helped us move from our former apartment to this one last week. We are the Senior couple serving here in Imperial Valley. We are from Idaho Falls, and have been in El Centro for one month, starting our mission at the MTC on December 1, 2014. The weather is great and we love the missionaries. Elder Betts and Elder Weber are our 'first official visitors'. They came to do their laundry, and Elder Reilly fixed us all breakfast. Your son is a great missionary! Love, Elder and Sister Reilly
