Dear Family
This week we had Zone Conference and it was up in Bellingham! It was so great to go back to my first and only other area. We had more instruction on our smart phones and how we can use them more effectively for missionary work. It was really awesome, there are so many great ways we can use technology for good and I am so excited to start using it!
This area is really awesome, we were able to find 2 investigators this week. Haylee, who is 17 and wants to know more about the gospel and Bryan, who said he is catholic, but after talking with him for awhile, he said he is more of a baptist because Catholics are to intense saying "hail marry" throwing fire and brimstone haha, it was funny. But he is super cool.
We were asked to give talks on May 13th on Mother's Day, this will be my 3rd talk given on my mission and it's only been 7 months! haha. I guess I'm making up for all the years I never spoke in church! Time is so weird on the mission, I can't believe it's almost time to call home on mother's day, I swear we just called for Christmas!
Charlotte is getting Baptized this Saturday!! I am so excited for her! We have to get a member ride up to Bellingham, and I might be doing a musical number for it, we will see how that goes. She is seriously so amazing, I am so grateful for her and her sweet testimony.
Ze is most likely getting baptized May 12th! We have the O'Hara kids baptism that day, but we will see what will happen. So many great things are happening!
This work is real and changes lives. I have seen it in action, it changes hearts and brings hope to so many when there is no where else to look. It is such a blessing to be part of this great work, I know the Lord is anxious to spread His gospel through us, we need to have willing hearts and minds to accomplish all that He is asking of us. I know that we are the Lord's instruments in bringing salvation to His children, so wherever you are, be a light to those around you in this darkening world.
