June 9 - "Quickest of quick updates."

Hey everyone!!!! How's it going in the rest of the world?

I really have no time. . . again! So I'll keep it brief-er than usual. ;) Let's see. . .

We did lots of painting this week for service! And laying out brown paper and lots of painting. . . That was fun. Our teaching pool is fairly empty. We're trying to find more people to share the gospel with, but it's a long process to start from scratch. Haven't heard from Jackson since the bad news. Golden is in China. Kevin is still on fire! But we're employing a lot of finding tactics now. . .

Brother Clites, the Weston 2nd Ward Mission Leader, is AMAZING! He's so inspired, and we've been practicing inviting and teaching with him. He gets us so excited to do the Lord's work. You can feel the energy flooding from him. AND he's brilliant. Just graduated from Harvard and you can TELL.

We had lots of rain and meetings. Sunday was even MORE hectic than usual. We're building trust where we can with the members so we can work more closely with them. I met an author who is sooooo super funny and amazing!!!! She and her husband are going to the temple soon to do baptisms for the first time as well!!! Can't wait!!!!!

Oh, and President gave an amazing training at Zone Conference. Seeking personal revelation. It was very spiritual, and I know he's inspired. That's about it.

More details next week! Sorry so short and not as exciting this time!!!

Love,

P.S. If any of you ever travel to Boston, GO TO THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE. A-MA-ZING. I'm pretty sure I have the best P-days out of ALL of my friends! I'll send pictures. . . sometime. . . :D
