May 4

Mom,

I got the information from President and Sister Batt about their homecoming talk, it'll be on July 12th. He's not sure what time it'll be at because he hasn't been to church there for three years so he can't remember what schedule they'll be on now but he gave me their home phone number so we can call him and figure out what time, so I'd like to make it to that.

Things are definitely going great down here! We have another investigator, she is married to a return missionary and we are going to have them be taught at a member's home this Saturday also, her name is Alicea (pronounced like Alisha). Unfortunately the lesson with Albert and Vanessa didn't work out last Monday because they forgot they had a birthday to celebrate but we will be seeing them tomorrow morning with Sister Merayo and hopefully we'll be able to get another lesson lined up at the Merayo's! Yes, Jeremey's baptism is on for this weekend, so we are pretty excited! Yeah, we've had some pretty good turn outs at church. Last week we had 8 investigators at church!

Things with the Calin's sound pretty awesome! Keep up the good work and inviting like you are! Use any opportunity you have to briefly teach her (or anyone else you come in contact with) something about the gospel, share a testimony or personal experience, and invite them to do something that will increase their faith in Christ!

That sounds like an awesome road trip. That's cool that you and Dad aren't too old to do something spontaneous like that! Haha, just joking. I really want to go to the Manti temple, it sounds pretty awesome. I think probably the closest you got to my mission boundaries is when you were at the hole-in-the-rock because the river is the dividing line between our mission and the St. George mission. Across the river from the hole in the rock is actually part of Blanding 3rd Ward's boundaries so you were looking into one of my past areas!

That's great that Natalie and Nate will be able to have a house of their own soon. Aimee will have a great time there with her new position. I'm sure Jackie will have a great time as Young Women's President.

Love,
