So by your convent on the socks...they're not allowed?  By the way Dad has the camp ones and the blue and pink paisley tie is a match with Scott:)

> So as for me this week it was great, i would have to say its been the best of my mission and also one of the hardest haha but so first of all we had enterviews with President Morgan, and this was my first one as a Zone leader and i was a little nervous because i didnt know what to expect, but it was increbible.....went really long becuase we were talking about the wellfare of the missonaries it was incredible how just in a conversation the spirit took over and we recieved direct revalation on how to help those in the zone. it was incredible:) In the interview we did a practice contact and it went well and the spirit was super strong and president started crying and in the end we talked about it and gave me a great tip on how it could be even better, and that was the Inspired questions. How even though thespirit was super strong and was testifying, the person couldnt open up becuase i didnt ask him to....was a big lesson that i learned and now in these last few days i have really put it into practice and have seen those who we come in contact with open up and just pour out their heart to us, Inspired questions are the key to everything:)

> I am super happy and just loving the work here, we had some sweet experiences wtih investigaters that was incredible. one was Monica, we found her from the Area book and as we visited her the first time she told us that she has been looking for so long for the truth but just hasnt been able to find it and the misionaries havnet showed her either, and just in this moment our ward mision leader was with us in the lesson and  he just shared his testimony and she broke down and practically told us that his testimony was all that she has been waiting to hear and wants so badly to be baptized and sealed in the temple with her husband (less active) and her baby, it was incredibl:)
