Hello!

Congrautulations to Jon for passing the CAHSEE!!! =) He improved his score by a lot! That's so great!! =)

Well, we had an interesting week this past week..........we're down to one investigator, Ed, but instead of thinking about the investigators that are no longer investigating (or are now meeting with the Elders in the area they actually live in, finally) we are trying to focus on the positive. Ed accepted a baptismal date for April 28th and he loved conference yesterday afternoon!

Unfortunatly, Ed has a lot of health problems, so he's actually going in for a heart procedure where they are going to stop his heart and try to restart it......he's received a blessing and HE says he feels calm going into it...but we're worried...we've just been praying and praying to FIND new investigators, and instead they're dropping like flies! We REALLY hope and pray Ed doesn't, if the procedure doesn't go well!!!

We also had interviews with President and Sister Wilson this past week...it was SO LONG. We usually just do interviews by district (6-8 missionaries) but because they couldn't do interviews Saturday because of conference we had two districts....so about 32 interviews needed to take place...PLUS instruction from President and Sister Wilson...we started at 2:30 and Sister Chudleigh and I left at 8...and they STILL weren't done!

We watched conference at the stake center. I really enjoyed Elder Eyring's talk about faith in adversity. I also really liked hearing the three seventy all together yesterday afternoon, Elder Wilson, Elder Evans and Elder Pieper. Their talks seemed to all flow together really well for me, even though they were on kind of different topics. A lot of the talks, like Elder Scott's and Elder Packer's I feel I'll orobably like a lot more after I'm able to read them...a lot of the talks seemed a lot less straightforward this time than the last few conferences, but may be that's just me, so I'm looking forward to actually be able to study them fully.

Hope all goes well with the doctors you're seeing this week! I hope work isn't making it much worse.

Love you,

Sister Holdsworth!
