Dear Family, Monday,

Yesterday was so great to be
able to skype with everybody. It sure did make my day.
Missionary work has been the
usual. We saw a pretty cool miracle this past week. The church has a new video
called Because of Him.
Well a couple of weeks ago we taught a lesson at someones house for family home
evening. The lesson went great and we shared the video with them. We then
commited them to share it on facebook. Well a couple of days later we got a
media referral text on our phone. Whenever somebody requests missionaries on a
church website it gets processed through the system and they send us a text.
Well the processing hasnt been going very well lately so we usually only receive
half of the information that we need. So we got the person's name and number
and address but it didnt show what she had requested. Well we tried to contact
her but it was spring break so they were gone.
This week I was on exchange
with Elder Gardner. He is from Palisade, CO near Grand Jct. We knocked on her
door and she was home. She was super excited to see us. We asked if there was
something that she requested off of mormon.org and she said that she wanted a Book of
Mormon. So we gave that to her. It was really neat to see how that
happened.
This morning I decided to clean
our basement. We have a huge closet and crawlspace under the stairs. Previous
missionaries have just thrown trash, old mattresses, a/c units, christmas
decorations, you name it into that closet. So I went at it. After a couple of
hours I got it mostly cleaned up. It was pretty great. I just wish missionaries
would throw away useless things that they instead keep in a closet. Just throw
it away! The weather has been pretty nice lately. Blue skies and in the mid
70s. Its great. Elder Thomas is dying of the heat. He is used to England
temperatures. He keeps leaving the screen door open in the middle of the day to
"cool down the apartment" but of course when it is about 75 outside
all it does is warm up the apartment. We will see how he enjoys the summer!
Our teaching pool is still
suffering. We really need to find someone new to teach. Its just kind of
stagnant right now. Thank you all for your letters!
