Hello Mom,
Well life here is going well. Thanks for not telling me you where in Lake Powell, see now I don't have to dwell on the fact you were there. I had no clue you where their so thanks for that.
Well quick update on Elizabeth, she is so awesome she is progressing super well even in the fact of opposition. We have had a few very small things that have happened but she got over them and still believes it and likes it. So let me really quick tell you what has happened. We went on a member split to go see her so I was with Brother Bardgett a member in our ward the 2nd counselor in our bishopric. Anyways so we just stop by to see her and answer a few questions she may have. She said she had none and so Bro. Bardgett, starts to talk about polygamy, the word of wisdom, tithing, and baptism. I was freaking out; we had not taught her any of that stuff yet. She was way caught off guard; I explained as simply as I could. Then said I promise we will not leave you in the dark at all, we will explain all of this and that we do not exercise polygamy. In the end I was going to kill Brother Bardgett. We saw her in two days explained it all; better resolved all of her concerns, so she is good and is okay with it all. She then came to church then they talked about death from the Joseph Smith manual and in gospel principles class we talked about temples which went well with the last lesson, but it was a bit too much for her at once, once again. We met with her again and she had sorted it all out on her own and was correct. Also in Relief Society she started to cry and all the sister helped her out. They comforted her explained stuff and generally took care of her as if she had been a life member. This ward is amazing, it is like the 10th ward, except it has a lot of less active members we are working with. But it went really good.
Well I'm super happy to hear you are all doing so well. I'm sorry we are super short on time and I just got done writing a letter to Jerame and because ldsmail is so stupid I lost it so now I can't write him, it's lame. Anyways we just got done climbing the biggest mountain in Northern Ireland. Basically we hiked it in two and half hours; so they are small and I have loads of pictures, so that's what's up.
Love you
