Dear family,

First, thanks for the mail and emails from mom and dad. Thank you Erik, also for your e-mail, and Elizabeth for your many cute pictures of Olivia!!!!!

The announcement that young men and women can start serving at 18 and 19 is really awesome! I thought about Dallin a month away from turning 19 and just went to college. He probably isnt too happy. I think my favorite talk was again President Holland's. The member that I live with, Brother Anderson, declared that as the church's new war cry: "Do you love me? Feed my Sheep!" This conference in particular seemed like a church milestone. Every able bodied young man and woman, plus the elderly have the flood gates opened for opportunities to serve missions. Not to mention it seemed like those that have left the church were begged back like nothing else. If these arent the signs of the second coming, I dont know what is.

This week we met a young man named Narciso. He didnt know much about anything religion. We put him on date for baptism, but he will have to be taught by the missionaries over the young single adult ward. But he felt the spirit and I dont think he knew that he has a Heavenly Father. That was a pretty good lesson.

One exciting thing is that we will be recieving senior missionaries in our ward to be focused on getting less actives reactivated. Plus I anticipate we will be getting double the amount of missionaries we have now with the new ages in place. The members we live with will be part of the new senior couple missionary less active program so that is pretty exciting.

Well this is the last week of the transfer so I might not get to write again until tuesday. I hope all is well with everyone! I love you all.
