Like usual. I do not have a lot of time to talk. Not much has changed externally over the last week. A few weeks ago I believe I talked about an awesome lesson that we had. Well. That lady has now disappeared. We have stopped by her house many times and it appears that no one has entered or left the house since our last visit with her. Other than that we have had a few other sweet lessons but so far there is no one who is making the commitments to be baptized. But the work is hastening on. And many blessing are in store for us here. Yesterday Elder Clark of the 70 came to our mission to talk to us. It was an amazing meeting. Our mission president and a few others took up about half the time so about 4 hours while elder Clark took up the other 4 hours. Although he did talk for a really long time it really did not seem like it was that long of a time. It’s amazing that many of the brethren can tell you about the 100s of things that you are doing wrong and the 1000’s of ways that you can improve, and yet you still feel better after. Usually when people point out your faults you automatically get defensive but they do it with the spirit so you know that they are right and you can’t really deny it so all you feel is love and you feel like what they expect of you is really not that hard. If I can learn that as a missionary I will have great success for the rest of my life. But it takes time and practice and much prayer. I loved that meeting that we had yesterday. I learned so much and the spirit was so strong. Although there was not much happening here we have many plans that where inspired and sanctioned by the Almighty and I know that as we apply what we have learned the work will again boom here. There was much taught to us yesterday and I am excited to apply what I learned. The work is moving forward. We will soon be seeing an increase in the number of missionaries. I am excited for this. We need them. Encourage all to go on a mission both young and old. We need more couple missionaries the ones we have are far too few. Many of those who could serve don’t and they need to. WE NEED THEM ASAP. I love all of you. This week is going to be a great week. Thank all of you for your faith and for your prayers.
