Elder Ward and I just got back from our first meeting with our Young Single Adults leaders. Dad and I were given a group to be over in the other mission for home evenings each week and Elder Ward is over the mission leaders and I am to take care of teaching the YSA to give talks and lessons. It is really neat and we are excited.
Elder Ward and I were in the SuperMart today on our lunch hour and the check out girl asked about our name tags and we told her, she is from India and has recently come unto Christ in another church, Elder Ward asked her if she would like to know more about our church and she said yes so we got her name and phone number and gave it to the elders.
We are getting better in the office each day, we were alone today and we learned alot. Our trainers were busy getting ready to leave. They will be in tomorrow and some on Monday, we have a zone conference to go to so we won't have them much more because they leave on Tuesday. The Lord is really blessing us.
It is late and I am very tired. Hope all is well with you, I understand that you are having snow storms, we have had rain but the weather has been in the high 40's and low 50's.
Love to you all.

This is from our sun room, we are looking over Bampton, our office is 5 to 10 minutes away to the right. There is alot of industrial areas behind us and a beautiful city behind us on the way to the temple.
