Thank you all for writing letters this week, always great to hear from you!
We had another successful week, we have been planting a lot of seeds everywhere. Most of our work is sowing right now rather than reaping, missionary work is a whole lot of fun. It is really cool when you create a relationship with someone and they end up being an investigator, we had a couple of those recently. We taught our first lesson to an individual whom we met about 10 weeks ago and it went really well. I thought that was pretty cool. Right now we are keeping ourselves busy finding and teaching people hoping to find the areas next baptism. Planting seeds as we go, that is the best way.
Recently in my studies I have been studying by topics found in the topical guide and I have found that to be very useful. It has been such a blessing to have an hour every day to study the gospel, I have found that there is no end to gospel learning here on this earth, there is just so much to learn. I have made a stack of notecards of scriptures that are useful in teaching situations that I study almost everyday. I haven't memorized them but I can remember key words and phrases and attach them to scripture references so that comes in handy while teaching investigators. I hope that after mission I will be able to have the same uplifting and inspiring personal studies as I have now.
Mom and Dad I can't believe you are moving so soon, I thought it was going to be in July? wow that's quick! I am really excited for you and I look forward to the pictures you will send. Finally you gypsies can settle down for a little while haha! :) I know you will also enjoy being at Ava's first birthday party this weekend, that should be fun! What a cute little girl.
Mom I honestly don't remember how my NT seminary teacher taught the four gospels. Harmoniously sounds more interesting. I look forward to seeing those DVD's if the church ever releases them. Thank you for all your prayers!
For P-day we are playing sport with another zone so I have to keep this one short . Love you all so much and have a super week!
Oh and dad could you send me Idaho's 2012 schedule, maybe they will play a game against someone in the ACC or SEC that we could go and watch.
