Hello Wonderful family!

What an awesome week! We have been busy. Plus we got transfer calls.

We taught Frank this week. We brought a recent convert, Bro Hill, who is getting ready to go to the temple in June. We were a little late for the lesson, which was ok because Bro Hill and Frank were talking and sharing experiences. As Bro Hill was bearing testimony he taught the principle we planned to teach, which turned out great because he taught it simply and from his heart. It was a really good lesson.

We taught Bro Tom this last week. His life has calmed down so we were able to meet with him. He enjoys our visits and is becoming less and less cynical about spiritual matters. The ward council suggested that he and his wife watch sacrament meeting on BYU tv. This will be great for them since they are unable to attend church. They will feel the Spirit as they watch it.
Elder Durrant is getting transferred. I am leaving this great area to go to another good area. I have had a lot of fun serving here. I love Elder Walker too. He is a good companion and a great friend.

As we were trying by one of our future investigators, he needed help putting up a dog kennel so we were able to help him with that. It went up really easy and we were able to set up an appointment for the following week. He has a blood hound puppy and it is so cute.

We provided a lot of service this week. We helped someone move. We helped build a kennel. We helped at a soup kitchen. We washed walls. It has been a good week. We had a lot of good lessons as well, in which we took members to. It is absolutely essential to have members at lessons. They help in the investigators conversion in so many ways. The only thing better would be to have the lesson in that members home.

I love you all and next week I will be in a new place and loving every second of it. May the Spirit be with you!
Elder Durrant
