Hope you're all doing well! Thank you for all the letters and
packages! (I love the socks mom :) ) I'll try and write back when I
can.

Last monday we did something fun! We all went to the zoo! It was
awesome! I'll send pictures next week. We got to pet stingrays and
sharks and starfish. There was a lot of baby animals there right now.
This zoo works with a group to help repopulate endangered species into
the wild. It was fun!

We're teaching lots of really great people right now. We're teaching
one family in particular, we had such a good lesson this week! We've
been teaching just the parents because all the kids (all over 17) had
no interest at all. Then the other day we invited them in to pray with
us for a moment since they were all in the next room with two cousins.
They all came in and after the lesson didn't get up to leave right
away so we went ahead with the lesson. We ask them all if they were
interested in knowing where they were before they were born and if
they wanted to know what happens after we die. They didn't leave and
kind of nodded. So we started teaching them and they were talking
about how they believed in being free spirits and that they think that
there's a God or at least some kind of energy. It was a really good
lesson, the spirit was there really strong! By the end the oldest
brother, the one who said he didn't believe in anything, said he'd
like to try praying. At the end we invited the mom the pray and she
did and thanked God that she could be here with all of her children
praying together.

Right after we went to her moms house, now that we'd found out the
address. Because her husband died recently so we stopped by and asked
if we could sing her a hymn. We were in there trying to think what one
and filling through saw count your many blessings. So we sang that and
asked if we could leave her with a prayer. My comp prayed and in the
prayer the woman started to cry. We just sat and talked for a while
after that and invited her to church, but it was what she needed.

We had a really good week, love you all! Talk to you all in two months!
