Good morning everyone!

Things are going fantastic here!  Spring is finally here, and the

weather has been warm and beautiful.  I hope you weren't worried when

I didn't email yesterday.  I forgot to tell you that our p-day this

week is today, because we are going to the temple this afternoon.

Oquirrh Mountain!  I am so excited!  I will send pictures.

So on Monday, we bought a 26" pizza from Big Daddy's, and ate the

whole thing as a district.  I also bought 2 sweaters at Kohls for $20!

I got them both from the clearance rack, and saved $110!  You raised

me well, Mom!

Sorry this isn't the best picture, but this is my district.
I can't believe that the transfer is almost over!

On Wednesday, I had a training meeting with President Chambers.  We

read 3 Nephi 11, and talked about how Christ prepared the people

before he started teaching them doctrine.  We also talked about how we

need to help our investigators have a see-feel-know experience, like

the Nephites did.  Then, that evening, we came out of a member's home,

to find that I had locked the keys in the car!  We had to walk to our

chapel for a meeting (which is actually outside our area), and then

all the way back to our house!  It is times like this when I am really

grateful to be living in Utah!  The next morning, we got a ride to the

mission office, and picked up the spare keys, so all is well now.

Sunday was amazing!  Remember the family that literally fell into our laps a few weeks ago when a friend brought them to church?  We took

them to Temple Square!  It was amazing!  The Spirit was so strong, and

they recommitted to be baptized this coming Sunday.  I am so excited!

I hope you got the picture.  They especially loved when we were

talking about how families are sealed together in the temple forever.

We also saw some other Spanish elders there from my old zone with an

investigator.  Small world!  It is so cool that we can take

investigators to Temple Square!  This is the best mission ever!

Yesterday was a normal day, which was kind of strange.  We taught this

family twice, because due to jobs, they are only all home together on

the weekends.  We have to teach them all of the lessons by Friday.  No

pressure!  But I have faith that we can do it.  They are so receptive

to everything we teach!  They ask a lot of questions, but never to

denounce the church or prove it wrong.  They just really want to

learn.

We also saw Mario yesterday!  We drove into our neighborhood, and

there was an old guy driving a little go cart.  He had the hat and

everything!

Our branch is awesome!  They have been so welcoming to our

investigators, and always willing to help fellowship them.  We have

both our youth missionary activity, and our missionary fireside coming

up, so we hope that we will motivate the members to help us even more,

especially in finding new investigators.  Yesterday, an older

missionary couple (we call them MLS couples) told us that they found a

family that we had been looking for.  We had their name, but not their

address.  We are so excited!  They also gave us several Hispanic homes

to visit in their neighborhood.  The work is really picking up here!

I have really enjoyed having an iPad!  I am still figuring out how to

use it to teach.  I love that we can show people videos now.  I love

Because of Him, and they are releasing a new Easter video this month,

called Because He Lives!  We watch Bible Videos and Mormon Messages

all the time.  It is awesome!

So I had a fantastic week!  I am so excited to go to the temple today!

my testimony has definitely been strengthened this week, as I have

seen the Perilla family embrace the restored gospel.  Every time I

teach a lesson, my testimony is strengthened, as I testify to others

that I know.  Have a fantastic week everyone, and enjoy the warm

weather!

Love,

Elder Jared Weller
