Dear Family and Friends,

This week was sweet! We had ZTM in Minot on Friday and it was very much a learning experience. The main trainings were about the importance of teaching the message of the Sabbath and keeping our surroundings clean, physically and spiritually, so that the Spirit can be with us. When we consider our activities on the Sabbath, let us examine our intentions and also what we are showing our Father in Heaven by participating in that activity. The Sabbath is the day that we take the most time to prepare to meet God, and if our actions on this day don't either give us rest or prepare us further to meet God, then we shouldn't do them. The Sabbath was created for mankind's benefit. 

To speak of keeping our surroundings clean, if we knew that the Savior were going to come to our house tomorrow, what would we do? I'm sure that we would all clean our house. Why? Because the Savior deserves to dwell in holy and clean places. Now chances are that the Savior won't physically be in our homes tomorrow, but His spirit can always reside there! If we keep our surroundings clean His spirit can reside there in more abundance. 

We found four new investigators last night and they are all recently from Turkey! They are interested to learn more about what we believe.

The weather here has been magnificent lately!

Love,

Elder Adair
