Mom,
Good afternoon. It was an awesome conference. I actually was singing
during a lot of those songs. I was thinking the same thing when I was
watching too, that you were watching it as well. There were some
amazing talks. Sis Slade is a strong woman. I haven't sent her
anything yet but right after I'm done emailing I am righting a letter
to her. If you don't believe me I am looking at the paper and I
envelope right now. I am really grateful that she sent those things tome. I will definitely thank her.

I know dad's birthday was Friday. He's 44 right? I did see a firehouse the other day, but it was out of our area. I saw it because we had zone conference in Nazareth( there's also cities called Bethlehem and Lebanon, it's pretty cool cause they are from the bible!). I would have loved the left overs. Just a minute ago I ate two meatball subs for lunch. I'm glad dad was happy. How are his headaches doing?

Mom, I would love to tell you who we are teaching but really no one is progressing. And people cancel on us a lot. Or there not home when we show up. So we are working a lot with less actives and I actives, and also contacting some potential investigators. So I guess people we are
legitimately teaching are none. It's really frustrating and sad. But I will tell you about some other people. We have been teaching a less active man. His name is Paul. He is super cool. The last missionaries that were in this area wouldn't even get in his house. And we come by sometimes and he's always so friendly and let's us in and we teach him too. He says he really wants to come back to church. Because he has two daughters who he wants to be an example to. Hopefully we can get him to come out. I'm really excited for him.

You want my testimony? Well here it is, this church is the only true church on the face of the earth. I know the priesthood of God is once again on the earth and that it was restored through the prophet of God. Who is Joseph Smith. I know he did see God and Jesus Christ on that spring day in 1820. I know that he translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God. And I know that we are led by a prophet of God today, Thomas S Monson. He is the mouthpiece of the Lord. I know it!

Sorry if that might of sounded harsh but that is truly what I know to be true and I regret not sharing my testimony before. So I apologize, I will bear my testimony more frequently now.

Good for Scott to get married. Tell him congrats for me. And I know what you mean. With the temple getting closer and closer to being completed I am really getting excited. President Anderson got to go inside of it with president Russell M Nelson a few weeks ago back when he was dedicating the priesthood restoration site. And president said
that the temple already looks amazing! And we will not be
disappointed.

Thanks for sending me stuff. I will probably get those packages this week some time. I really appreciate it.

1: Her it rained for about three days strait. And back home it just rained for a little amount of time but a lot.
2: I don't want to keep jumping on the band wagon but I like Elder Hollands talk and I liked Elder Hales talk too.
3: I watched conference with the Smiths at their home.
