Dear Family and Other People That I Associated With Before My Mission,

Things are happening in Williston! This past Saturday Elder Wright and I were groomsmen at our investigators' wedding in the chapel! Although their marriage has no validity in the eternities it was still very special and I felt it was a precursor to their hopeful future sealing in the temple. We were talking to the man at church yesterday and he told us something awesome! He said that he asked his new wife believed that Thomas S. Monson was a prophet; she answered yes. He asked her if she believed Joseph Smith was a true prophet; she answered yes. He asked her if she was willing to obey the Word of Wisdom; she answered yes!! Things are looking pretty sweet for them! We still have a whole lot of work to do with that family because they said that some of their family members are asking questions about the church!

One of our less-actives came to church yesterday and brought two of her friends from Africa with her. We sat down and taught the Restoration with the three last night and now the two friends of hers are on date for baptism on the 16th of May! We found out they are in the other Elders' area so we are giving the two investigators to them, but it's still great nonetheless!

We were teaching a recent convert a few days ago from Africa that speaks French and he told us that he wants to start taking us to go visit other French-speakers that live in Williston! He just loves the gospel and wants to share what he and his family has been given! So we called our mission president that night and told him about it and now we are French-speaking missionaries (mainly English still)! Woohoo!

The work is going swimmingly:)

Love,

Elder Adair
