Dear Friends and Family,

thank you to those who sent me letters I'm trying to write back but have very little letter time to do so, so i'll get to all of you in time.
This week was pretty much the same old same old. We tracted a lot! six hours yesterday. Its been pretty hot out here upper 90's and high humidity but its been ok. So we are teaching a lot more so thats really good.
Oh so a ward member gave us this stuff that turns your pee blue and Elder Brooks, Indi ( a recent convert), and a couple other ward members and i drank it. It was so funny. I took a picture ha ha. My pee was blue so weird!
Anyways, we are teaching 3 people consistently now and two we just picked up recently. K the first is Matt he is 19 and dating a member of our ward who just got back from BYU-I she is 19 and living with her parents. He is such a good investagtor he was at church sunday he is keeping all his commitments and we are extending a date to him tomorrow! I'm so excited! The girl he is dating is named Amber and her parents are the same way he wasn't a member and he investigated the church because of her and became a member and is such a strong member he is president of the High Priest Quorum.
K next is Kathy. We tracted into Kathy and she wanted to talk. We came back the next day with a member and taught a great first. The spirit was so strong she told us she is a recovering alcoholic and is lost and is looking for the truth. We asked her how she felt and she said she felt really good about our message she even believes Joseph Smith could have seen Heavenly Father she is so perfect we came at the perfect time in her life. I'm sure not by accident.
Thirdly is Yolanda. (yes she is black)
We tracted into her too. She wasn't all that intrested at the door but we kinda pushed her and she set up an appointment. We came back with a member named Erik Bloom ( just turned in his papers) and we asked her why she was intrested in meeting with us she said she always has admired the courage of missionaries to knock on doors and get rejected. She told us she met with some before and that she is looking for a church for her family. We taught the resoration and she was almost in tears it was so cool. She felt the spirit so strong. We are going back next week. I know she will be baptised. The only thing is she is moving to virginia and sadly we wont' be able to meet with her anymore. She was so good tho she honestly committed herself to read the book of mormon. and to come to church. She even prayed at the end and it was the best prayer i've ever heard from an investigotar she just sounded mormon Ha ha.
Well I love all you guys see you next week ps I'm very frustrated with the uneffectivness of tracting if anyone has suggestions please let me know. I know its neccesary and i will keep knocking just curious for suggestions. k bye
