Hey Family,
Not a lot exciting happened this week… but it was good. :) We have been teaching a kid who is 10 years old whose mom is being re-activated. He has been going to church for such a long time that he just needs to get all of the lessons and he is good to go. He should be baptized this next Saturday, if all goes well.
So this new announcement from the first presidency and the 12 is kinda weird [allowed to call home on p-days]. Honestly, when I first heard about the rule I was not sure how I felt but now that a couple of days have passed I think it is a cool and a good change. Here in Oratorio there really are not any computers that have cameras to be able to do a video chat, so I was thinking to just use the good hangouts option to be able to do the phone call. I’m not sure what ideas you guys have?
Elder Jones and I gave talks in church this last week. They went well… like always. :) I used the talk from Elder Oaks and talked about the importance of doing the small things. By small and simple things great things are bought to past. Mom, that is great timing that we gave talks the same week! I would love to get a copy of yours to read and learn from.
That is super nice that William was able to come home for a few days! It is always nice to be able to see somebody after they are away for a while. I hope that dinner was as tasty as it looked. I bet it was even better actually eating it!
Cutting this short so we can chat!
Love ya!
