WOW our living room looks really different. We don't have pink carpet any more.

This week was awesome. We found some new investigators. We had like 7 less actives, 3 investigators, and 3 potential investigators come to church. The talks were on service and hope, which are two great topics for investigators to hear. One of the Potential Investigators is our bishop’s daughter’s friend that came with her. While she was there she asked if she could have a Book of Mormon. Then she came and asked for the missionary lessons. It was sweet. Our stake president taught one of our classes. He discussed and expanded the words of our prophets. He told us of his experience with Elder Christofferson. Elder Christofferson said that during his prayers he spends time not saying any thing but just being there, like sitting by a fire absorbing its warmth. We can enjoy the warmth of the fire that is our Heavenly Father. I loved that because I have had that feeling on my mission during a prayer that I am pouring my soul into, or during the sacrament when I am focusing on my Savior’s love and the forgiving and healing power of His Atonement. It is so great to know His love and plan. The gospel is real and there are really people who are looking for it. The Lord is preparing them to hear it.

I am doing good. Um, if you want to send packages I would love to receive them. I would like some healthy things to snack on like nuts or something like that. Homemade bread would be great too. You all are the best. :)

I love you

Love,

Elder Hurst
