Hi family,

It sounds like you all had an awesome week. That's cool that you guys saw Meet the Mormons! We aren't allowed to see it but rumor has it that this zone conference on Thursday we are all watching it, so hopefully that is true! You guys have no idea how much help and support you all give me in your emails! Mom and Dad you guys are the best parents ever and I can't thank you enough for all that you do for me, and for all of the inspiration and advice you guys give me in your emails! Liv, Ann, Sam, and Char you guys are awesome and I look forward to hearing from you guys each p-day! I love all of you guys so much! This week was a lot better than last week! We taught a lot more lessons and we found 3 new investigators! Me and Elder Harral are giving our all to the work and it's starting to finally pay off! Our new investigators are Kimball, Rebecca, and Scott. Kimball is 20, Rebecca is around 65 and 70, and Scott is probably in his mid 20's. I wrote about Kimball in the letter I am sending today so you'll hear about him. We met Rebecca while we were OYMing, we were actually on our way to an appointment with a less active member who lives in the same apartment complex as Rebecca, and we saw her out on her front porch and started talking to her. After we talked with her for a little while, we gave her a card with our number on it and a plan of salvation pamphlet, and went upstairs to our appointment. After we were done with the lesson we went back down the stairs and Rebecca said "Hey can we talk about this pamphlet for a little bit!" so we went in and taught her the whole plan of salvation lesson, and at the end we invited her to be baptized, and she said she didn't really have a full understanding of everything yet, so we set a return appointment and we are going to go back and teach her the Restoration so we'll see what happens, but I think she has potential! So things are getting better here in Albuquerque, and we are starting to have a lot more success! I know that putting our trust in the Lord in every circumstance, whether it's big or small, He will help us through any challenge or trial that we have! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is such a blessing and a guidance in our lives and I don't know what I would do without it! Everyone in the world needs it and that's what I'm here for, I love you all and I hope you are all doing good! Keep doing what's right!

Love Elder Summerhays
