Dear Family,

This week we worked and we worked and we worked and nothing happened! We had FHE with Joan our progressing investigator at our Elder Quorum Presidents house on tuesday. We set a Baptismal date. The spirit was so strong. The best part is that THE MEMBER set up the appointment.

Then Saturday we had a chapel tour and it was very spiritual as well. Then Sunday morning comes around and she didn't come to church... DADGUMMIT! She is so prepared! And very courageous. She is soo close to changing her life forever!!

Saturday Morning we got to go see a family get sealed that Elder Urbina taught in his last ward. It was a less active family. It was amazing to see that.

We are still working with our zone to build an obedient culture. I used to think culture was something annoying that kept people complacent but now I realize that culture is a powerful thing that can help that would not otherwise help themselves. Sorry for the short letter. I wasn't as diligent today as I should've been.

You all need to being inviting people for dinners and activities. Give people a spiritual environment for a few hours!
