Hey Mom,

Not too much happened this week. We were able to see a lot more less-actives and In fact we were able to help Ordain a Returning member that we have been working with to the Aaronic Priesthood as a Priest. It's really cool to see people actually progress and be able to work their way off of the Ward Mission Process. His last step was drinking Coffee and we were able to take that away from him about two weeks ago and he has been off of it since. He will be able to go to the Temple for the First time to do baptisms this weekend. Also there is another less active who has started to come back to church. we were able to get her to go to General Conference with Her sister and Something must have touched her because she has been to church the following two weeks and accepted a calling as a Nursery or Primary teacher. Now we just need to be able to help her stop smoking. It's really cool because the last few times before this when we would invite her to come to church she would just laugh. but finally she said that she would be there and has been true to her word. It's really cool.


Also we were able to have a pretty cool experience with Revelation. We have been focusing lately on working through members and helping them feel comfortable with talking to their friends about the gospel. Thursday we had a zone meeting where we talked about the Role of the Holy Ghost in Conversion and asking inspired questions. you know, letting the spirit guide us. That night we went to a members home and role played with one of their daughters and we were able to receive some ideas on what we should do to help her friend become interested in the gospel. The next day her friend came up to her and asked exactly about what we had role-played talking to her. we were able to see success with the members and that was really good to see since we haven't been able to see any with investigators.

Umm.. I Just think a few Cd's will be good for now. Also, If the talk is given by a General Authority, Past or present of course. I will be able to listen to it.

I'm Glad to hear that Taylor Went on a mission, I know that he wanted to Last year and was working on it. I really do hope that he will be able to make it. As for the other guys that were there, well lets just say I hope they don't Mess their lives up too much. Because I can Definitely see that happening with the way that they lived in High school

So, How are you suppose to learn when you don't understand a word that is being said? interesting...

Ammon can Drive? woah, I bet that is pretty scary. I don't know if I would want to be in a car with him. Ten bucks says that the truck is wrecked before I get back. I give him 4 months after he gets his license.... Either that or he will destroy the clutch. whichever comes first works haha

Matthew Social? Since when is anyone in our family social besides Ammon? wow. that's really cool

Three weeks really? I don't know what You mean about how I want to do it? Like skype or Phone call? I don't really know, It doesn't matter for me to be honest. ;P I don't really know what I'm going to say either. last time there was just a lot of silence and no one talked. so maybe you guys could practice what you are going to say. as a whole.... so everyone is talking and not just me and you... Because you know I am not very good at expounding. but I will try to do better so it isn't as silent. it will be fun.

I dont' know about a Easter Egg hunt. maybe if we go to a different church and see whats going on we might be able too. But, you might just have to send me some lamb with some sauce and some good deviled eggs, the last ones I had weren't as good as yours ha.

Well, another day, another week. we'll find someone who wants to be baptized one of these days....

OH! in fact, someone called the church building yesterday and said that they wanted to be baptized! so I was excited about that. but, we looked at the address and found out that it's not in our area but the Zone Leaders, who usually baptize every month and teach around 25 lessons a week. Go figure. oh well. that's really good though. We are going on exchanges with them this thursday so I will get to talk to Elder Bills, who I actually went to school with. so we'll see what I can do about sending me to an area where they baptize like crazy.!

well. I think that's it.

Love ya
