I bet you don't go making any more deals like that!

Dear Family,
How are you guys doing? It was nice to talk to you on the weekend. I'm sorry to hear that Becky got sick, but I hope she's doing a bit better now. It sounds like those baked goods from boys were poisoned or something, eh? Mom, I'm glad you were able to talk to somebody while on the bike ride. That's really cool that you were able to bring up the gospel. Next time, maybe you can have a pass-a-long card for mormon.org or something.

Not a whole ton happened this week. We helped a nonmember named Judy move. While we were there, we met one of her neighbors, who recognized us as "Men of God" and made her son come down to meet us. We offered to bring him a Finding Faith in Christ DVD, and she consented - with the added bonus of her feeding us dinner. So, that was a cool service opportunity. Judy's mom has Alzheimers and kept telling us "We got the best end of the bargain!" (referring to how we offered to help last week, and that got Judy to church). She literally said that, and "I bet you don't go making any more deals like that!" about 15 times. It was funny. And at the end, Judy said, "I think I might start going to the Mormon church in Georgia." So, that's really cool. Mission accomplished there.

John Raney is still doing well. He blessed the sacrament this week. John Moran is still reading and coming to church and doing well. He's planning on being baptized mid-June.

I went on exchanges with Elder Doria this week. On one door we knocked on a guy let us right in. When they do that, you know they're either a member or a minister. I didn't recognize him, and it turned out he was a minister. So we talked about his responsibilities at Saddleback, and just prayed we wouldn't get into a bash -- and we didn't; he had to go, so we said a prayer together and it was a positive experience.

We taught a Finnish man named Jakko at the doorstep the other day. He said he is open and we can come back sometime, so we're excited for that. We're going to take our amazing stake mission leader Brother Andre over there; he's also a convert from Lutheranism.

And that's about all that's happened this week. Things are going good, we're doing fine. Thanks for all your support and your letters. I love you all.

Love,
Elder Myers
