A pretty great week!

Mondays are the BEST!! I got my "Hi mom!" and now I'm good to go until Mother's Day. It's amazing how when the work is going so well and people are accepting of the gospel message, it can make life so great! I can just hear it in Tab's letter. What a wonderful way to start off the month of May!


Hi mom!

This week was pretty great! We found a lot on new people to teach, and two of them are extra special. Their names are Aang and Ardy. We met them through a referral we received from our most recent convert, Johnson. Johnson had talked to them previously about how much his baptism meant to him and how much he loves being a part of this church, and Aang and Ardy wanted to know more. It is awesome - Aang and Ardy are so ready to accept the restored Gospel, and they only had a week or so to marinate on what Johnson had said before we first met them. They told us they wanted to get baptized. Teaching them has been a little difficult, but we were able to visit them three times last week and they came to church yesterday. I was so excited that they made it. What was even more, sacrament meeting was a really neat experience. Johnson was confirmed by our bishop and afterward he bore his testimony saying how much he treasured his knowledge of the truth. Courage also bore his testimony. All the african members in our ward bore their testimonies - it was super great. It seemed as though the meeting was tailored to Aang's and Ardy's needs. And mine too!  I enjoyed this Sunday so much. So that topped off our good week. 

So, to answer your questions: Yes I received the package from England. Thank you! I wrote you guys a letter and it has a lot more detail about what's been going on lately. I did that because I anticipated that I wouldn't have much time today to email... we are playing volleyball at 1 and it's noon and we still haven't gone shopping. Sorry I have to be brief! I know you'll like the letter though. Anything else you have questions about, let me know and I'll fill you in. I can't think of any questions for the family... Is Regan engaged yet? Tell her she should do that. Ummm, has dad thought about getting a new car yet? You can tell him I like those new Honda Accords, the 4 door ones. I doubt that will help, he's pretty slow to make decisions so by the time he makes up his mind the new ones will be coming out, bigger and better. Haha. How about the yard? Hopefully everythting is going good for you, too.

 

Well I have to go for now. I love you guys! How's the ward? Say hi to them for me. Tell Bro and Sis Rasband I appreciated their letter to me. I'll try to write them back.

 

Love ,

Tab
