Hey mom,

I hope all is going well. since everybody is slacking with the whole letter writing thing lately. All has been going well here in Plainfield. We have been doing alot of finging lately and been trying to catch up with some referrals to contact. Yesterday after the first session of general conference we got a phone call from some one that is living in Seattle. it was pretty cool he gave us a referral of a friend that he had that lived in our area. this member has been working with his friend for the past 10 years getting him introduced to the gospel. This member has been having the impression to call us and give us the referral for the past 3 months and he finally did. when we were talking to him about the person the guy asked where we were from elder tatton said "Utah and Idaho" the member got real quite and asked where in Idaho? well Blackfoot Elder Tatton said. the member almost started to cry he was born and raised in Blackfoot. we talked for a little while and the member asked how long i had been in Plainfield and i stated a little over 3 months. he was amazed the impression came true that he was inspired to call because he could trust a good ole Idaho boy. The lord works in mysterious ways. General Conference was great i had forgotten how great that it was its too bad that we only get to see it every six months. I especially loved the talks from the general authorities they seem to always hit home with me i never cease to marvel and the blessings that come from living the commandments of god. I felt really comfortable as the prophet President Monson was talking i always just know that he is the on and the only living prophet of God. There was so many of the talks that just seemed to stand out and to be so personal and inspiring to me at the particular time of my life. Nonetheless it was amazing. The only bad thing is the pews get really old after a while and today my back is killing me, but it was totally worth every minute of it. well hours like 16. This week was pretty slow and not really alot has happened. on Tuesday we had a really good lesson with Jessica and set some goals to help her quite smoking and all that good stuff. We gave her a blessing to help her over come it and she really and truly is not addicted she only smokes five ciggies a day and that's alot she said. we are not too worried about her too bad. Bob we are at a loss he has 0 desire and doesn't want to do anything, even to read and to pray the anti-literature has totally corrupt him to the point that we are going to have to give him a break for a while. hope fully he will actually take the time to read and to pray about those precious things that the holy ghost are teaching him. nothing other than that has happened. everything is still going well with us. we are both feeling better and are not sick anymore. Thanks for all your prayers. they really helped us. I hope and pray that things will continue to go well and great for everyone.i love you all.
