March 6, 2012 E-Mail

This e-mail will be a short one.  Our p-day is today because we went to the temple.  It was a great experience as usual.  I've only got to go 3 times since I've been in the field.  I'm looking forward to going more often.  A member here took us.  There is also a Costa Vida in Spokane now.  Man it felt good to go to Costa Vida again.  We also went to Spokane last week.  It was sort of interesting because it was for our zone leader council.  Well we always have a ride meet us and drive us.  He forgot about us so we had to drive our own car and we got there 45 minutes late.  Luckily President Palmer understood. As far as missionary work goes, really not much happened this past week.  It was sort of a tough week.  But Sunday we had some good things happen.  In singles ward to non -members just showed up with a friend and they said that they're interested in learning more.  Then a couple of members in our family ward came up to us and asked us for some copies of the Book of Mormon to give to some friends.  So I really think that our teaching is going to pick up.  We are teaching some really good people right now, but they just seem to be stuck in a rut.  A lot of them have some problems with some commandments and that really keeps them from progressing.  Sorry this is so short.  I know that this church is true and that true
happiness comes from living the principles of the gospel.  When we are obedient, we are blessed.  I know that God loves all of us and is aware of everything we go through.  I hope you all have a great week!
