Dear Family and Friends,

This was another good week! We taught a good number of lessons and worked really hard. Unfortunately we don't have any progressing investigators right now:/ But at least we are getting some less-active's to come to church. On Monday Elder Jarman and I went shopping at Burlington Coat Factory and Halberstadt's and Goodwill. We then played basketball for hours at the church with other missionaries. We did a lot of tracting this week. The weather has been in the 30's this week! It's amazing and I love walking around without a jacket or sweater! I got to give a baptismal interview to a woman in the 2nd ward! It was so cool and she was SOO ready to be baptized. She has an inspiring testimony. She's from Atlanta, Georgia and got baptized on Saturday night! At her baptism I finally saw a man named Bob that I had taught a few times in Williston and it was so cool to see him again and know that he is a strong recent convert! The other day we went tracting for about an hour and we taught 3 lessons with only knocking on 4 doors! And then the next day we took an 18-year-old tracting in an area close by for about 2 1/2 hours and no one let us in!! It was rather frustrating but what can you do? At least we got a bunch of potentials! On Saturday night around 9:30 we were doing some planning and we heard some people being really loud outside our apartment building. We looked out the window and saw about 50 college people walking out from our building carrying booze and such to what looked like a big party bus! We have no idea where the bus took them but it judging by how they were dressed it looked like they were going to a pretty legitimate party. They woke me being loud as they walked back in the building around 2:30 am.

We are still having a whole lot of fun eating with other missionaries and members and meeting new people every day.

Have a great week everyone! I love you!
