MOMMA!!!

This week was really good for Elder Ballard and I we started out the week Visiting with Michael which was good and he seems to be happy and ready to continue onward, we look forward to working with him on a weekly basis. Oh ya and we also had transfer calls and Elder Ballard and I will both be staying this transfer which is awesome! I'm just so unsure if I will move before I die or if I'll be released from being a Zone Leader before I die. Just a lot of unsurety about what will happen in these last 3 transfers.

Yes, We did get to watch it and WOW how crazy is it that the last conference I have in the mission is like the best one yet! So many powerfull talks, honestly it would be easier to tell you the ones I didn't like as much but that's probably not appropriate haha.(I asked which talks he liked best) Looking briefly over some of my notes, I think I remember Elder Brian K Taylor's talk being pretty good, but I'll just have to read them again like it was counseled by President Nelson up until next conference.

Elder Ballard and I were able to pick up a new investigator this week who told us he wants to be baptized so that's super great! His name is Rick and he has a ton of enthusiasm and we are really hoping it doesn't die out because he has a really beautiful family, sadly his wife does not seem as interested as he is. He investigated in the past and the missionaries stopped seeing him because he was just so busy with work, and he still is. But he wants to make the commitment, he just needs to get work off on Sundays and hopefully things will go smoothly with him:)

I told Elder Ballard Hi for you, he says Hello Daytons

Wow, can you believe it's already April, that blows my mind! It has been a great time up until now and I've still got a some time to do some work, I feel like the Lord has blessed me in many ways since coming here to the Bay Area, I've learned a lot and grown up a little too. But more importantly for me, I feel like He has blessed my family back home. And maybe you just do a good job of taking happy looking photos but you all look so happy, and united as a family, and that makes me so happy! I love you all and am grateful the Lord always comes through with his promises, that the families of missionaries will be blessed.
