Thanks for the article! I'm not really suppose to use websites that aren't authorized by the church but maybe since its ran by an LDS group its okay? Not sure about that one. President Mortensen is starting to do Mission President Firesides once a month at different stakes in the mission. They're meant to bring in lots of nonmembers or less-actives. Basically its mostly a musical program put on by missionaries but there's also testimonies given by recent converts. So maybe that coach would be a good person to have speak! That would definitely bring in a lot of non-members.

I'm doing well. Its been a fairly decent week. Definitely one of those weeks where you feel like nothing happened but somehow you were still busy the whole time. We're really trying to find new investigators. I don't know why but its been really hard lately. It hasn't been this difficult in awhile. Its all good. I have faith.

We've been working a lot with family history. We're helping a couple less-actives get started on there's and we've also been helping Priscilla get her's going. Its been pretty cool because Priscilla hardly had any information on her dad and grandparents. We were able to find her dad's information and we found her grand-parents and great grand parents and her mom's side. Its exciting! She is really looking forward to going to the temple but unfortunately it is closed this month. Our mission president is also really pushing family history. He wants us to start teaching it after we teach the Plan of Salvation.

Jordache is still doing excellent. The two other priests in the branch are really good friends with him now. The youth sunday school teacher always tells us that Jordache answers a good portion of the questions asked in class.

We've been doing a lot of service lately. Its nice because we can do service during the hours that are hard for catching people at home. Service is another thing that Pres. Mortensen is encouraging us to do more of...its pretty neat. He wants each companionship to do ~10 hours of service a week. For all the missionaries out in the country this is very good news. Its not an official change that has been made but its in the near future. Part of the perks of being a sister training leader is getting to hear the future plans for the mission.

Nobody really knows when we're getting ipads. All we know is that it is before the end of the year. I'm not sure how paying for it works either...Pres. hasn't said anything about becoming an online proselyting mission. Honestly I'm not sure if this mission is quite ready for that... but President thinks we may start doing online stuff next year. 

I'm sad to hear about grandpa and aunt Lois. I'm happy to hear that Grandpa is probably going to be just fine. I'll keep him in my prayers.

Did I tell you that sometimes we help in primary? Usually with the sunbeams. If there's a lot in the class, then they usually ask us to sit in with the teacher to help keep things from going out of control. Or sometimes we end up actually teaching a class if the teacher isn't at church. 

I love you!

I hope you all have a goooood week.

Also, my bag is kind of a sad sight. Its sort of falling apart. Do you have any good missionary bags that you aren't using?
