Hello Mom, 

That is so exciting about Jessica, though i will wait for her to tell to me. I will do my best to do a handwritten letter to them if not definitely an e-mail. Just remind me every week. Can't wait for mothers day. Just so you know we only have 40 minutes of call time. Also when does Dallin leave for MTC? So this past week what has happened a lot has.

So Just start from Sunday. That was a good day we had a really good lesson with a less Active who wants to come back to full activity. so we are working with him and helping him grow his faith and consistency. Then afterwords we stopped by someone we helped move in and they totally let us in and met their family who was in town visiting and we shared a scripture with them and they really seemed to like that. We are planning on having her cut our hair once or twice since she is learning how and would be a great way to fellowship her and then maybe dinner with them and then lessons!

Saturday was an extremely awesome and tiring day. We started off with a service project for a part-member family, doing some gardening which was a lot of fun. Then we had a double booking a baptism for our Ward Mission Leader's daughter who invited all of her friends and several said they would come. So we had to do splits. My companion went to baptism with a ward missionary and i went with a youth preparing for his mission to another service project for a Greek part-member family as they prepared for the Orthodox Easter. (Orthodox calender is off from standard gregorian calender, which is what we use) Then we regrouped and helped them finish that dashed off to English class, no one showed up which was a first for a long time. then to a massive ward activity, a luau put on by a Samoan with dancers from the Samoan and Tongan wards in the next stake over. It was absolutely amazing and a lot of fun. We were asked to help refill water pitchers which gave us the opportunity to be seen and talk with members and their friends. We met so many new people and we are going to follow up with some of them tonight actually for dinner at a members!

Well that was the big stuff. We did bike this last week because we were short on miles so we biked on Wednesday. It was fun glad i have a car but i am willing to do it when necessary. We also had the opportunity to meet with some Koreans again which was a lot of fun and awesome.
