Well my week was good.  Our zone leader is going home, so we are having a party for him at 4:00 today. He is a really neat guy. We have had a lot of progress with investigators... not as much as we like but enough to keep going. It’s a walking area and we have a long way to travel on foot but I feel good.   We found a thing of coffee in the apartment, we threw it away. I thought that was funny. Our investigators are having some trouble keeping commitments, so were working on that, we may have to drop some, some are really spiritual, and some of the people we work with our less active but they’re on the way back and it is amazing to see.  Temple square is amazing!  Did you see the new city creek center just across the street? It’s a shopping strip the church built and it has a retractable roof!

Hope you guys are well, love you lots!

My Easter was packed we had a lot of people at church, and ridicules amounts of candy and other things, so it was good. We taught several lessons, picked up dates and I am being transferred to Clition (Clinton?). My companion will be Motsumai from South Africa, he is a cool guy. I met him while I was in Roy zone. We were really packed today so this letter isn’t detailed. I’ll do a better one next week; I might get my charger back too.

Our week, it was great! We had Ray and Johnny, two investigators, at priesthood on the balcony, and several other RC's and investigators at all the sessions except Sunday morning. it was a stressful, fun but it all came together in the end. We had fun with a friend of Gingrich's who brought up a game he wanted us to play it was complicated but fun, he gave us a ride to conference on Saturday, after we failed to get lunch, but all in all it was great we had all our questions answered and I hope some of our investigators a less actives watched cause it blew their concern out of the water!! Well I have enjoyed bountiful a lot and the zone is great, it’s weird to think about how long I have left (I don't do it often) but when we put it in terms of transfers to figure the mission split, it seems a ridicules short time :(, but IT's going to be fun every step of the way! I loved the talks in conference especially the prophet's, he is a great man. Love you lots!

He he.. I can see the airport from my area!! and I will be attending almost every session of General Conference, and my friend Elder Medvetski might be organist for priesthood session! My week was great, we baptized President Monson’s cousin's cousin’s step granddaughter! Sort of a roundabout thing but still fun, she was very persistent with her grandma to get baptized. Her grandma won’t go to church but she believes the gospel one hundred percent, just doesn’t like dealing with people at church. We taught MAK the other day ( he is 16 his mom is an ESPEN reporter, so if you can watch the NCAA women’s final four, she will be on and he’ll be there.) March Madness is great! I can't watch it at all and I got into basketball with Heintz. But that’s ok. Gingrich and I are having fun, we got so many lessons and are working on baptism for some people, we are helping a  man,  Exiting, well other than that nothing really exiting happened, oh Gingrich lost his planner! Not good so that wasn't fun we spent all day looking for it! Never found it, but we recovered and our doing fine now. love you lots .....

My week has been great.  We baptized and confirmed a little girl from Vietnam. She was very excited to find out about the gospel. One of our investigators is in Italy for the week but he will be baptized when he gets back. We are teaching an excommunicated member, he is very desires to return. We have two investigators who are showing progress and I have become very good friends with them. We talked with one of the authors of “Preach my Gospel”. He wanted suggestions on how it could be improved.  It was very difficult to come up with anything! We came up with some physical flaws, that would make the book last longer but other than that the book is amazing and should be used in every way as much as scripture...... it teaches principles of the gospel that when understood improve every aspect of your life. It is a mazing.  I have had a fun week and most of the activities I participate in are athletic. We might go bowling today but I am not sure if we will go. Love you lots!

(What did you mean when you said: "We taught the Plan of Salvation and he was of by terms and that was it, so it was great lesson." ? )Oh, our investigator is 18 and he is from Guam and he told us the plan of salvation using a different language for everything, but was dead on.

MY week has been good we have had good lessons, super spiritual. But I’ve been sick so we haven't been able to do the work we have wanted to.  We spent time bonding, he’s really cool, and we get along really good. I can't send pictures because my cameras dead and I can't find my charger!!!  It’s not good. We had party yesterday for my birthday and year mark it was fun the whole zone came! But I still haven't gotten a package yet, which is odd, it should be here. But it’s all good. We are having good success and we could be setting up some investigators this week so that’s good, and I really like my zone! Bountiful and North Salt Lake are amazing! It could be better if I didn’t have to deal with four stakes but, it is a small price for such a great environment. Love you lots!

(How are your suits holding up?) The brown one is a little snug but I have the gray one and two other ones that are fine. There is a gym in the area we go to so I should be fine by the end of the transfer. We found out that the mission will be splitting to create a new Salt Lake mission! I am in Bountiful (Val Verda and north Salt Lake) so it affects me but it won’t happen till July so who knows what will happen if I go to the new one or stay in Ogden, either way it’s a new mission president so it’s whatever but there will be a change, we have a date with two new investigators a Vietnamese girl and a 16 year old who is pretty solid as well as our friend down here who is from Guam.  He’s fun and he has the spirit.  We taught the Plan of Salvation and he was of by terms and that was it, so it was great lesson. Oh what is Jaimmie's email I have something exiting to tell her that no one else ... well maybe Mariah, would be excited about. Anyway it’s been an excellent week, my new companion is Elder Gingrich, he is cool also Elder Glowzine is in our zone so that will be fun, he is from Germany. Elder Sanrome is here from the Philippines, he fun. The new apartment is amazing.  I need to send pictures, next time, I forgot the cord :( but I'll send some good ones next week.) Happy birthday Mariah!! Love you all very much!
