eMail of August 9, 2010

This last week went well for my companion and I.  We had a lot of fun and got some good done.  Ruby has been reading and praying and now said that she wants to get baptised.  She just wants to wait a bit more time.  We also were led directly to several people that are interested in the gospel, at least to know what it is.  For example Saturday my comp felt like we should knock a specific street.  The next day, yesterday, we knocked the street and began teaching a lady who then accepted a return appointment for next week.  We also contacted another lady that seems interested as well.  It feels good to be able to receive revelation and have success.  We also felt the need to use the Book of Mormon a lot more while teaching.  We set up a plan to teach the first half of the first lesson using 1 Nephi 1.  It teaches perfectly prophets, dispensations and apostasy.  We are trying to set up the rest of the lessons with different chapters of the Book of Mormon.  Yesterday we had a Stake Conference where they called a new Stake President.  The old one had been there for nearly 9 years.  Elder Corbridge of the First Quorum of the Seventy was there and I enjoyed his talk.  Our Mission President was there too.  We are making steady progress and I am grateful to be here.  I am hoping that everything continues to go well.  As for the rest of everything, if we do a Weight reunion next year we would need to do it before Marc goes on his mission.  You did tell me that Rob had his baby.  I would like pictures if you could send them.  There are several cousins I don´t think I´ve ever seen that I would like to see.  How many are there now?  Well, I love you all and pray that everything continues to go well.
