week 6 already??

I don't know about you guys, but time is flying. 
Our Elder Flitton will finally be in Russia in one month! 
....and he sure is ready for it.

Keaton said that this last week, he has shown a huge progression in the language!
He has been praying and fasting and testifies that the Gift of Tongues has been present in his life and it is the best feeling ever. 
He loves the temple and is grateful to get to go every single week. He really is going to miss it while he is in Russia. 
We are so lucky to have so many temples near us in Utah!!
This week's devotional, he admitted, was kind of lame. But it was followed by the showing of the Joseph Smith movie. He said that it was his fourth time seeing it while he has been in the MTC. He still loves it more and more each time. 
Keaton has the strongest testimony of Joseph Smith. 
"I know the he did see God and Jesus Christ. He did translate the Book of Mormon. Without the restoration, we are nothing. The main message when we preach the gospel should be the restoration. I love the Prophet Joseph Smith. I hope that I can have the strength and faith the he did."
It is so uplifting and inspiring to read Keaton's testimony in each letter.
He is such an example to me and everyone he meets.
That is why he was called as Zone Leader!
He welcomed the new missionaries this week! He said it was such a fun and interesting experience. 

He sure hasn't lost his sense of humor. I will post all of the silly little drawings I get every letter. 
Be excited!!
WE LOVE YOU ELDER FLITTON!

"...be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you."
