Hello Momma! Sounds like everything was a success! I'm glad to hear about all the adventures though. Haha. I've been doing pretty good though. I haven't seen conference yet. We always get it and watch it the first weekend in May. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to teach over the radio but man! Those guys are doing super good. Well, one of them. The other one is still excited but he's been traveling tons so we haven't been able to see him at all. The other guy is literally the most perfect investigator I've ever met. We met him on a Saturday, he came to this family home evening group we do that evening. Then he came to church Sunday. A member invited him to begin attending institute, he went on Wednesday and Friday. We invited him to the read the Introduction to the Book of Mormon, he read it. We invited him to watch a baptism, he came. He also came to church yesterday. Man. It's crazy. He's definitely like the most prepared person I've ever met. Haha. Oh, and yeah, we had a baptism this past Saturday. One of the guys we baptized is super super smart and he's actually read all 7 of the Harry Potter books! I know that might not sound very weird to you but here, half the people can't read at all, half of those people who can read, don't. And the ones left read simple books that they're forced to read. And then there's this kid who loves reading novels. It's crazy because he said he heard about Harry Potter because he got a hold of the 7th book. He read the whole thing and decided that he had to track down the other 6. He started getting them slowly and would track when shipments of books would come in so he could be the first one to search through it and try to claim the books for himself. After a year or so he finally got all seven and said he's read them over and over since. He's also read all the Narnia books. Pretty sweet kid. It's crazy how hard he had to fight to get books though. We just drive down the road and can get the book the day it comes out. He said something about a book that just came out, and then said "so probably I'll be able to read it in about 10 years." It was funny but I guess really it's not that funny. Haha. Anyway, about that camera business, I'll try and find a cheap one to buy here. Also, the package hasn't come yet, but we haven't gotten mail delivered in about a month. So.... who knows. Haha. Okay, well I'm so happy to be here and I can't wait to talk to you next week! Love you! Love, Elder Stewart P.S. Momma HAPPY BIRTHDAY! again. The big 2-9! Man you're getting old! Haha. Love you! P.S.S. Ryan Nielsen- happy late birthday to you too! P.S.S.S Can you send me Clayton and Big Black's email addresses? Thanks.
Mormon 9:22: For behold, thus said Jesus Christ, the Son of God, unto his disciples who should tarry, yea, and also to all his disciples, in the hearing of the multitude: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
