Hello!

Sorry this email is probs gonna be well short, not in the biggest mood for writing. But! It's been a great week!

We had a zone conference where we learned how we're gonna use Facebook for online proselyting. That was pretty good. We also had interviews with president which was a good time. He's a good man. 


Not a whole lot to report on this week, we've got quite a few people we're trying to teach but it hasn't quite happened yet. We've been seeing a lot of members trying to help them out, and been trying by loads of inactive members. Haha we always get good responses from them. 😜 man opens door "nope! Nope! This is a strictly no jesus household!" Man shuts door. Haha it was funny. (: 

One man we are working with is super good! He hasn't been to church since he was a teenager but has been wanting to turn his life around. We saw him this week, and had a great chat about the Book of Mormon and Jesus and all that good stuff. Unfortunately he can't come to church, because he takes care of his 10 year old grandson who has a couple mental problems. But he's doing everything he can to change even though he can't come. Hopefully he'll be able to come soon. Also his grandson is the funniest kid I've ever met. He told me he's already married, him and his wife had been seeing each other for 5 years before they got married, and they both like different football teams. I asked him how he made it work even though they support different teams and he said we make our relationship work because we look past our differences, and a whole bunch of stuff about how they make it work. Funny kid. (:
Sister lomas brought her non member son to church yesterday! And he was super super nice! We're going to stop by them this week and try to start teaching him. We're still working with a couple other part member families, which is going good as well. We also found quite a new friends, not all of them kept their appointments though. Good peeps tho. (:


I watched the Mormon message, "you never know", last night. It's a good one. Sometimes we feel like we aren't so great, and that we can't do everything we want to. And we feel like nothing really comes from our efforts. But President Hinckley said we never know how much good we do. That's true, there's no point in beating ourselves up because you never know how much good you do. God knows though, and he's grateful for us and the effort we do. Love you all! Have a great week. (:
