William's February 7th Letter

2012 February 7

This week was excellent. We taught several people and picked up a new date from a kid who is ready to be baptized a.s.a.p. I went on splits with Adam Hayes, and we taught a lesson out in Corinne, and yes I do cover Fred’s stake and Adam showed us where he lives. we had district activate, which was just a pizza party because the district leader's dinner had got him to much so he called us in to eat it... he is a good District leader he was sick so we gave him a blessing and he is getting better, their apartment is cool.  Jerry would like some of the people in this area they’re big game hunters, the land lord of the dl has many trophies, and some of them are in the dl apartment because there isn't room in his trophy room. HE HAS A LION RUG! and a skinned  lynx; its larger than most cats I’ve seen. We left back to our lessons and we had some spiritual experiences.  We have lost some dates but we will get them back and hopefully get every one committed. But we had stake conference and President was there he spoke with Elder Malm of the seventy. He is a great speaker, Elder Malm, he took time to talk with a La member we are friends with, he didn't go on a mission and got married instead, his wife filed for a divorce a short time later and he couldn't serve a mission after being married, but he is getting active and repenting of his ways, he loves the church he was just lost for a while. And it excited me that Elder Malm would take time to speak to him about these things and encourage him to go to the temple. Elder Malm spoke powerfully and gave great and marvelous teachings. Or rather He emphasized some important points that we over look ordinarily. We had dinner out in Honeyville and we got lost and stuck on some muddy road, Heitz of course driving, he got us stuck, well I got us stuck (wait), but I guided him to the dry ground. It’s a good story for gospel principles. Well last night we found new faster ways around our area which was good. Then we planned a zone activity for today and we will be off to that soon.
