How art all of you doing? Having fun in New Zealand? Anyways, things are going fine. We've definitely had a few warm days this last week. For weekly planning we did it outside. So this last week we had 3 member present lessons this week! Which was good. We struggle getting those, but at least we had 3! Anyways, our investigator who is getting baptized in June, she is still doing well. We read the baptismal questions to her the other day and the 2 concerns she has right now is - Joseph Smith and that he received the priesthood authority and that he was the only one who had the authority and that we are the only church that has the priesthood authority. And her other concern is the law of chastity. She would like to think that she will live it, but is uncertain she really would - well, the part about living with someone before she got married, she says she would want to know what they are truly like. Our other investigators, well, they are still doing about the same. Tomorrow we might pick up another investigator!!! I'm so excited! We've been trying to set up a meeting to meet with her and something has always prevented us from meeting. The other day we actually heart-attacked them and she said that really meant a lot to her and her daughter. So, we have an appointment for tomorrow!!! Yes, if you cannot tell, I am excited. And yesterday was stake conference. It was good. Before the stake conference meeting, we had a recent convert meeting. It was really good. (Side note: I was asked to conduct the music - ah! but good practice for me. I think I did pretty well.) Throughout the day there were conversion stories given. It was so good to hear their stories and how those newer members finally joined the church. Our stake presidency also talked about not judging others, loving others, and being positive. It was good. Yesterday was also the Webb's 35th Anniversary. They got married the same year as you dear parents, I believe, so does that mean that you will have been married 35 years in August? We've done a lot of tracting this week. Yep. And visited less actives. And learn lots of good things. One thing that was said yesterday was, "Lift, Encourage, and Inspire." I love those 3 words. If we truly love others, we can help "lift, encourage, and inspire." Well, I love you dear family. I can't think of anything else...besides I'm still enjoying yummy honey and jam from home! Love you bunches and bunches!!!
