Greetings from the Great OCM!!!

More Amish miracles in our area! We have continued our service project with an Amish family here, and by the way, goat milk is way better then regular cow milk. We continue to slowly build relationships with these people and all the Amish leaders are very nervous that we're in the area. They are afraid that we are teaching people in their communities whom they're not aware of. Everything is on edge right now and the Amish saints are very anxious to see what will happen. 

Other than that we have a baptism coming up. This investigator is so stellar that he taught our gospel principles class this last Sunday. The lesson was on the atonement and it was one of the most insightful lessons I have ever been a part of. He is amazing. We are aiming for the first week in May, before transfers. This is probably the most intelligent person I have ever met. We have been through a few bumps along the road, but now he is ready. The thing is when all is said and done the spirit is something that one cannot deny. It is so powerful

Also I spoke in church this last Sunday. President Nilsen was supposed to come up to the Amish group but had to cancel, so Saturday afternoon they asked me to speak. It was a late night but I was able to put together a talk about the divinity of trials, how we all need them and they are gifts from God for our learning. Overall it was an enjoyable Easter. After church there was a pot luck which we were able to get an investigator to. 

Short on time, but I will send a couple letters. I love you all so much. The more I am on my mission the more I see what the restored gospel has the potential to do for families and I am so glad we have that.

Love,
Elder Beutler
