Hey Mom,

Likewise it was always good to talk to my dear family, so I really don't have anything really that new to talk about since last night. I guess I will just tell you how the week went. First off we had an amazing week.  Tuesday we had a zone conference. t was amazing. All the training that was given was definitely inspired of God. The whole conference was on the topic of having a good planning and morning studies. It was very informative. We have been able to see the blessings that come from doing it as we have applied it. This week we have 3 new investigators. Damon, Watson, and Alex. they are all great. Watson on the other hand ended up dropping us on our second lesson. It is a bummer deal but it happens people still have their agency, they can still choose to hear us out or not. Damon and Alex are still doing great, neither of them came to church unfortunately but we I guess we just have more to teach. This week we have still have not been able to meet with Earlana.  Yesterday we talked in PEC and are going to hand her over to the branch to pick up teaching.  Your not going to find new people to teach if you can't help the ones that you already have. We have taught Earlana all that we can, it is in her hands now. Hopefully the branch will do good. All is going well tho. The weather is kinda starting to warm up, yesterday was the nicest day so far this year and today so far seems like it will be better. The Branch is definitely doing a lot better at being supportive, they are working with us and we are getting stuff accomplished. We have received referrals and we are able to contact them. Hopefully something comes from it. Something that  have become fond of is the spirit that comes from doing the Lords work, as we work diligently and as we are doing what the Lord wants and not what I want.  The feeling of satisfaction of helping salvation is amazing.  It is probably a lot of what you feel like when you do names in the temple. The enthusiasm and the excitement that comes from the Lords lost sheep when they have found what they didn't know they were looking for is amazing.  The lite that I can see in their eyes is what keeps me going each day. I know that this is the Lords work. I love this work because it is WORK. I love you all and have a Great week
