Here is the latest email from Nathan. He is doing great and is down to about 5 (plus a few weeks) months left! Crazy. Just an FYI, the reason it was a tough week was the disappointing loss we had to Snake River. This is all I have to say about that...Go Marsh Valley!! Snake River got lucky, but no worries, the Stokes' will survive! :) Enjoy Nate's email...
hey everyone
how is you all? sounds like its was a pretty rough week but i hope it
will get bettter for you all this next week. well this week i kind of
had one of those bitter sweet ones so we were supost to have two
baptisms joel and efren adn they were both so great efren is just a
21 year old punk that has changed a ton and joel was just awesome from
the begging but on friday after we got done filling up the baptismal
font he texted me and said that he cant be baptized because there was
some kind of family issue so it broke my heart it hurt so stinkin bad
so saturday came and we went and talked to him and he told us what was
going on adn it was just so sad i didnt want to leave him but people
got there agency and you make anyone do anything but later that day
efren got baptized and it was so amazing when he was baring his
testimony after he almost stated to cry as he was sharing and then i
just felt so amazing will i guess to sum it all up for the week i am
just thankful for the lord and his love for us i have felt it so much

the hard time and the good times no matter what he is there just
waiting for us to fall so he can help us back up well i love you all
