Dear Family,

Sorry this will be short, its just every other week i have to do this write up about our zone and how the investigators in the zone are progressing. So it takes me a while and i only have a short time on the computer. But i got a package from yall today! I had just barely opened it when we came to email, so i didnt see everything in it. Also before i forget This lady in a ward here told the missionaries in her ward that she wants to feed me. She lives in Greer South Carolina i think, her name is Sister Nielson??? I dont know who she is, i figured she may be a friend to Heather cause Heather said she told some old friends to look out for me if they heard about me or were in my ward. haha So i may be having dinner with them. Also this week is transfers! But guess what im not getting transferred! And im staying with my son!! Man this is the first time since my very first companion in South Carolina that i have been with a companion for more than one Trasnfer. so im excited ill be staying here in Greenville as a zone leader still. We had a good week, No baptisms, but its alright the couple that we were trying to baptize they left to florida on wednesday to work for two weeks, so that stunk but it sokay, cause we got this other Sister that we are teaching now her name is Vicki, she is way awesome. She knows the Book of Mormon is true, she says " well it just makes sense, God loves all his Children why would he not speak to his children in the america's as well as the Holy land, she says she always feels at peace after we leave and when we come to teach her. Its because its the spirit that she is feeling. She is awesome she will be getting baptized in the nest few eeeks. Only thing is she lives with some Jehovah's Witnesses...... Yikes so we will keep her in our prayers. Each day i see what i can do better and beetr. Each day present's a new challenge, but i gotta be flexible and ready to face, many things that were in my patriarchal blessing im seeing come to pass. I know i was sent her specifically to help certain people, missionaries and non members. I have had a tough week with helping correct or help out some missionaries. But the best way to lead them is love them, and show them the way that the Lord wants them to be a missionary. How is everyone doing though? How was the Easter Pageant? Are you excited for Conference!? Happy Birthday Kelli!!!!![?] Happy Early Birthday to Dad! I love you guys so much. Sorry for being so short. I love yall so much, i keep you all in my prayers, know that i love you, im giving my all. Its too important not to.

God Bless you,
