Peter 1.30.12

hello!

i haven't seen a boar since last week. if i do i will try and get a picture. Preston going to Montana! that's so exciting! I'm sure he will love it. when does he leave?

that's interesting that you mention the language of the spirit. that is what presidents email was on. he said that it was a chapter that he was studying mostly to help the Spanish missionaries but as he was studying that he found that the spirit has its own language and that we can seek the gift of the tongues to understand the spirit more in our lives. we have assignment to study chapter 7 of preach my gospel that teaches about leaning a language I'm excited to learn what is their and to learn to better understand the spirit. i have realized that when you are always looking and working to understand the more i realize that the spirit is trying to teach me.

L was baptized and confirmed Saturday! she is so solid! Her son referred her to us and was able to fly down from Charlotte Carolina. it was awesome I'll seen a picture of the four of us. L is from Puerto Rico so most of the Spanish part of the ward came to support. it was great! the spirit and tears were both present. we had stake conference Sunday so we received permission to confirm L at the baptism. it was a great experience! her son performed both of the ordinances and was supper pleased with what his mothers decision.

this past week was a big finding week. we found one girl that we stopped and talked to while we were biking and she allowed us to set up a return appointment when we arrived to teach she was there and had remembered that we were coming over, which was a blessing in itself. we taught most of the first lesson. she will hopefully be coming to church next week. we may have to refer her to the ysa ward she is 30 so it is border lined. we also found a few other people that we are hopefully going to start teaching this week!

transfers are next Monday and there is a possibility of me leaving. if not this transfer then probably for sure next.

is there any snow in the forecast? its been getting a little cooler here so i hope that's the case there as well.

love ya
