We Have Found A Lot Of Joy Being With Members Who Have Such Great Testimonies

Dear family and friends,

How is everything back home? Everything here in Hope Mills is doing great! This week has been a really good one. We have seen a lot of good progress in working with the active members of our ward. We have been spending a good amount of time helping them do their missionary work. We have found a lot of joy being with members who have such great testimonies. We have not had any new investigators come out of this effort yet, but we are confident that we will find many elect people by working with the members. When we go into a members home we ask them about missionary experiences that they have recently had. We usually teach a lesson from Preach My Gospel and the Book of Mormon about missionary work. After all of that we do role play's in order to help them practice what they learned. It is a real fun experience to see a family encourage their other family members in their missionary work.

Our investigators are doing well. Sister V-- is still progressing well. We have been teaching her in other members homes pretty frequently. She is still reading the Book of Mormon a lot and is enjoying it still. She has made some pretty good friends at church and really enjoys coming to church every week. We have about 10 investigators we are teaching right now. B-- is one of them. He is 12 years old and is doing pretty well. He recently moved to another part of town. Another investigator we are really excited about is I--. She is a really hyper person and really loves Jesus Christ. Every lesson we have with her she tells us how excited she is to learn more. She has not come to church yet so we are working on finding her a good friend at the church so she will feel more comfortable coming.

Our zone is doing really well! We had 4 baptism's this past week and they are all working really hard. Elder Green and I are going to a meeting in Raleigh on the 30th and after that, all of the missionaries in our mission will be getting on the computer 1 hour every day. We are not sure yet if it will be on Facebook or not. Our mission probably wont be getting I pads anytime soon though. Other than that we don't really know of any more changes that will be happening as a result of the broadcast.

I hope y'all have a great week! I know I will.

Love Elder Mortensen
