Hey everyone,
Once again it is good to hear that everything seems to be going well, albeit a little hectic it sounds like, but such is life I suppose. It's been a good week for me too, but as well, hectic and a little stressful. My companion and I have been doing a lot of finding and tracting this past week to find some new investigators to teach. Our prayers were finally answered with an awesome new investigator yesterday and some great potential people who seem pretty interesting in learning more about the LDS church. I don't think I"ve talked about him before, but his name is James, he's 18 or 19 years old and he's been living with some members for the last couple of weeks. His interest in the church started from watching mormon.org commercials. His interest grew, I'm sure, by watching this family he's been with and seeing how happy they are and what a unique spirit they have in their home. Before we were even able to teach him any lessons, he'd expressed interest to go to church with this family, (which he did) and reading the book of mormon by himself. After our gospel principles class that he went to, he even borrowed a book to take home to catch himself up on the lessons that he'd missed. Leslie, our on-date, is doing very well too. She was not able to make it to church this week because she had to go to Portland for a funeral, but we have a lesson with her tonight and she's been doing better every lesson. I love to see little changes that people make as they gain a testimony of Jesus Christ and his church. In Stephens e-mail to Megan and I, he talked about being more optimistic than your innard self feals and the unexpressed frustrations that are there. Well I agree with what he says. I've been out for only 1 transfer and I have already felt frustrations and stressing days and situations. But I have also have felt the spirit so strongly since I've been out and I know that even though I can have those really bad days now and then, that I have the companionship of the Holy Ghost to comfort me and help me through them. He doesn't make my problems go away, but he just makes it possible for me to accomplish them without going crazy. I think I'm about to get kicked off, so I'm gonna go. I just want you all to know that I'm working on writing letters to everyone, but I"m really slow at writing, this letter took me an hour=O. But I really am trying, love you all and I'll talk to you next week.
