Hi Mom!
Yerp I'm on already cause we just have an activity today so I came to the church early to get things done before the activity. We have between 10am and 6pm to shop, email, and then do whatever we want. So I think they're having an easter egg hunt or something like that with the missionaries in our zone, probably about 20 of us.
Question! can you look up Matilda McClain on Familysearch for me? There is a member here named Tom Keough and his great-great-grandma (or something like that) is named Matilda McClain and he is really interested in finding out if we are related. Ok that is almost impossible for you to help me with that little information so I will send you the identification number things. In the meantime, if you know any Matilda McClain's that are in our ancestry, let me know!
Hey send me a photo of your arT! I wanna see how good it is and then show it off.
My finger will be fine. it will just be a tiny bit crooked!
Hey check out the Because of Him video on mormon.org! it's really hipster and good.
iPads soon like one month prolly.
It seems like all the weeks that you are wasted by the weekend I am too! I was super tired come Saturday. We got a lot of walking and work done and then we contacted a lot of people.
Facebook comes once the iPads come, but they'll prolly monitor it.
My comp is great! here are some photos.....
I got your box :) hopefully you got my letter. Lately i feel like the things I have been mailing haven't been getting delivered so that's not good.
Oh and if you would, send me some more of that GAP cologne or something good smelling. I ran out and I don't know where around here to buy some good stuff. TJ Maxx has nothing good haha.
Love you!

Love you!

Hey Dad!
Haha - I have listened to Elder Bednar's talk about 3 times in the last 24 hours. It's pretty great. I loved the insight he gave on the scripture from Matthew 11. I had never thought about covenants being the way we yoke ourselves with Christ. It makes sense! The part of his talk that you highlighted reminds me of a talk - I believe it was also Elder Bednar - that he gave in a BYU devotional that I went to with you. I remember learning about the enabling power of the Atonement, but anything in detail slips my mind. Maybe I am just making up the whole thing? No matter. I also enjoyed listening to "What Manner of Men?" one more time.
This week was pretty good. We taught a lot of lessons again and we contacted lots of people. I think it was somewhere around 80 or 90. One of them was a man that works at Taco Bell named Brian. He approached Elder Marchant and asked him a question about something silly but they ended up talking about the Book of Mormon and the Church. He's not in our area but the sisters have already taught him twice and he came to church yesterday and now he has a baptismal date. He already knows that the Book of Mormon is true and everything. And he isn't some crazy guy. He's pretty cool. He has three daughters from a previous marriage and he is currently engaged! We have found a couple good people through contacting.
Sadly, Marcela dropped us this week. She strongly disagrees with the Churches standpoint on gay marriage so she said she doesn't want to join the Church or have us visit anymore :( Coming from a 14 year old girl I found that quite silly, but I am glad that came up before she had been baptized. So it is what it is. Hopefully God has someone better in mind for us to teach that we will find soon! Kelly (not sure if I have mentioned her yet) came to church and she also has a baptismal date for May 18. She was pretty happy about that. She is from Chile, just FYI. We also invited a crazy Austrian lady named Karin to come to church and to our surprise she showed up, so that was good. There was a huge turnout for yesterday's Easter program (usually there are around 100 people at sacrament meeting at yesterday there was almost 200) so they had to bless water a second time after running out. Elder Marchant and I sung in the choir. It was a good day for investigators to come to church!
Well I hope you do alright with all the demands from this coming week. And I hope your back feels better. Is it related to the accident you were in several years ago? Go out there and do some missionary work!
Love you too

Love this face!
More randomness......
Gotta have a seagull!
