Monday's news

hey how is it going? How are things going in Lund. Is there anything new and exciting? It sounds like there is alot going on. Well I'm glad to hear that dad is better and everything is back on track. How is teaching school in Ely going mom? Well things for me are going good. Transfer was this week and I am still in Eldorado and I am still with Elder Andrus. I am starting to think that I am never going to leave Albuquerque. It is o.k. I like it here. It was just kind of a boring transfer news, same companion and everything. This week was kind of slower week. We had zone conference this week I think I told you about that. It was a really good zone conference. Elder C Scott Grow gave a sweet talk, it was way good. This week we got a referral from this guy back east somewhere and we went and contacted him when we were talking to him he had lots of doubts about our church and we told him to pray about it and he said he would. He is a member of a born again christian church and when we finished talking to him he prayed right there on his door step to find out if it is true and you could feel the spirit come as he was praying. After the prayer we just left to let the spirit work on him some more it was good. we are still working with Bill and a few other people so that is good. Today for p-day we are going to hangout with a bunch of the other elders in our district because a lot of them are leaving. A lot of them are heading out to the reservation. I want to go to the reservation. One of these transfers. I hear it is an interesting experience. well that is about everything that happened this week.

see ya

hey how is it going with you guys this week. so you all went to washington this week huh? sounds like you had a good time there, so angel came too? well cool let me know if anything new and exciting happens in lund. this week was a good week in eldorado we did a lot of knocking doors this which gets kinda boring after a while. we talk to a lot of people this week and none of them said we could come back which is kinda sad. as far as bill goldrick goes he pretty much backed out because he is a girl scout. we went and talk to him and had a awesome lesson the spirit was there and we talk about the importance of baptism. he knows that the church is true he has no problem accepting the doctrine and he has good member support his son and daughter- in-law are members. whats holding him backs is that he is scared of commitment. i think he sees how involved his son is in the church and is worried that he is going to have to dedicate a lot of time to church calling. he is like 80 years old and for some reason he thinks it will be easier to join later in life. what i think of is a talk one of the apostle gave i can't can't remember who gave it but it is called the 7 deadly harrosies(i know i spelled that wrong) but he talked about how you can't think that you will be able to accept the gospel in the next life when you have a testimony of it in this life. i feel that once you get a testimony that this church is true it is your obligation to act on that testimony. i tried to explain that to him as tactfully as possible but he is scared to commit. but this week was stake conference in the eldorado ward and they were reorganizing the stake presidency so that was kind of fun to watch. elder porter from the 70 came down and talk he gave a pretty good talk. on week 6 we are have a big zone conference where elder c. scott grow from the quorm of the 70 is coming down to talk to us so that should be pretty exciting. well i think that is about all that is going on this week. it is kind of weird to think that it is already week 5 of the transfer. i have almost been out 6 months time flies. well if you guys could it would be great if you would send my memory card back out to me and hey i would not be to upset if you sent some snacks out with it. well got to go talk to you later.

love elder reid
