November 5, 2007

Mom,

Well, to answer Sister Parkers questions:
1) We were at a dinner with some old folks in the area, and i threw out the name to see if anybody remembered them. Ironically, none of them did, except the Bishop and he was defintely suprised because he knew them from Palo Alto and Seminary.
2) He has his own company where he is consulting businesses on benefit plans.
3) Weston 1st is Maynard, Sudbury, Wayland, Weston, Natick, Wellesley, Dover, and Westwood. The 2nd ward is Needham, Dedham, Lincoln, Watertown, Waltham and some other towns. im not all sure on that. There are other wards that have since split off. Like the Marlboroguh, and Northborough Wards. Also, Franklin is down in a different stake.

Elder Ririe went to train in the spanish program for his last transfer. Ill probably stay here until the end unless i decided i want to go train. As of now i want to stay. We are really branching out to help the mission, and have set a baptismal date. We are also working with a bunch of sweet families.

I know Elder Dixon. He was in the other ward. North Adams rocks. thats all you need to know. The members are sweet, but just a little different. You can tell his mom that we sent Elder Dixon there because he is very proactive, and doesnt know much about any dramatics in the branch's past. He and Elder Ames are really going to help it grow.

Any ideas for the venue? thatll be fun i think.

Ali said she loves her MacBook. you can ask her how to use it, im sure she will know a few little things.

Thanks so much for the Wendy's gift card!! its like a ritual for us to go there. thanks so much!

This week has been hectic, but we set a baptismal date, and found some sweet investigators. The work is picking up, and we are focusing on expanding the success into the rest of the mission. Our goal is 50 a month and we WILL get it before im through. The Lord has been merciful and has made our weaknessses strong. The gospel is true, and im seeing the power it has on individuals.

I hope you got those pics i forwarded to you from the Nashua ward. I love that ward. the people getting marreid are Matt and Stephanie Braun. Matt was a non-member, but now he is baptized. The Lord has completed a family. Its amazing.


love you and miss you, ttyl!
