No transfers

May 23, 2006
Dear Family,

The missionary in the Everett mission from this ward is named Elder Wells. We ate breakfast at the Wells house this morning; brother Wells cooked bacon and eggs for us; afterwards we washed and waxed our car there. They are an awesome family.

Last night we taught a referral from a member in another ward. It was a good, spiritual first discussion; however, his fiancee seems somewhat opposed to his learning about it, so we don't know if we'll ever be able to meet with him again. We tried, though, and committed him to read and pray.

John Moran is going to be baptized on June 3rd. He's doing great; we're meeting with him again tonight. He is recognizing the spirit working in his life and feels that his prayers have been answered. I think John Raney has been a good example for him.

Oh, today is transfers, and neither Elder Holt or I are leaving. But half of our zone is leaving. We're the only companionship that didn't go to the transfer meeting today.

Otherwise, there hasn't been a lot of progress with people we've been working with. We've been visiting a lot of less active members, and a bit of tracting. We found one pretty promising lady named Jeanie (I'm not sure if I mentioned her last week) who was nice enough to let us in but told us she wasn't interested -- until we told her that we did, in fact, believe that Jesus was the Son of God, at which point she told us she actually WOULD be interested in learning more. So we're going to keep trying back.

We also saw the ward this week come together to help out a young man who seemed to be going wayward. Several of his young mens leaders took him out to lunch or dinner to chat with him, and another member of the ward took him and his mom to the temple to do baptisms for the first time. He is now doing much better, and I'm sure that the high activity rate in this ward has to do with how the members give of their time to show each other love.

But honestly, not a lot has happened this week. We've been working hard and things are right on track, but unfortunately, we're about to baptize the rest of our teaching pool. Or, fortunately, I guess. So we need to keep finding new investigators.

Anyway, I'm sorry that this letter is short, but there's not really anything more to say. I love you all. I hope you have a great week.

Love,
Elder Myers
