Dear Friends and Comrades,

I will keep this email short so I can go ice-fishing as long as possible! Woohoo!! Last week I caught some walleye and some northen pike and perch and it was awesome! Today is my bro RJ's birthday and he is the best bro ever and I love him so much! He's 16 and ready to date! What a stud he is. We have a baptism coming up on Valentine's Day!! Holy carp this transfer is flying by so fast. 

We had Zone Conference in Fargo, ND, this past Wednesday and it was amazing as usual. One of the Assistants to the President gave an amazing talk about how agency gives us the power to act instead of be acted upon, even in the face of trials. If we continually let our struggles and weaknesses control us then we will never achieve our goals and we will let outside forces control our destinies. We need to be in control and accountable for our destiny. 

I also invite everyone out there to do their family history work and perform the temple ordinances for them as well. Joseph Smith told the Church that our most important duty is to missionary work. A year later he told the Church that our most important responsibility is to do the temple work for the dead. How are these two concepts similar? It is because as we bring the opportunities of the everlasting gospel to both the living AND the dead, we are all hastening the work of salvation for ALL of God's precious children.

I love you all:)

Elder Adair
