It has been a couple of weeks since the last update on Elder Lucas. Elder Lucas got to call home for Christmas and we loved getting to talk to him! He is picking up the language well, but still feels like he isn't as great as he could be. He is doing a lot better though.Joe got to baptize this sweet little nine year old and he loved it. They have been working with his mom and dad, which has been going well. He loves working with the kids in his area and really loves his area.

He was also able to give a member a blessing and he shared, "It is the coolest experience to have the Spirit take over during a blessing." His growth is amazing and we are all so proud of him.
