61 Weeks!

how is everyone doing? it is pday once again and i kinda feels like i just wrote home yesterday. so not much is new we had zone conference last week which was good we learned more about helping people make and keep commitments which is always an important thing its probably the most important thing in missionary work cause without commitments people can't really change. we found 2 investigators this week one is a younger lady we are pretty excited about teaching her she is kean as to learn but says she won't convert but as she learns the spirit can change that easy as we. thats about it for this week hope all is well thanks for all that yous do. the church is true i know it and i know that yous know it never forget it and remeber the basic 3 love yous Elder Dalton

60 weeks down!

so i have to start off this weeks email with a funny story so we went around to a less actives family yesterday and they were friendly and welcomed us in and we talked with them about church and family prayer and shared a thought with them but the funny thing was they made us scolding hot hot coco which was a great thought to give to us except it was around 85 degrees yesterday and in the house it was at least 85 haha so myself and my companion were sweating like crazy cause we didn't wanna be rude. ha it was good fun. but we had a good week we found one new investigator and had some real good lessons we taught these 2 blokes who were kean as but they live outside our area they were just house sitting so someone else gets them but thats alright its all the same work. but thats about it for this week and my comp is actually from caldwell i got it wrong my bad. but hes real good we are having fun doing the work its not to shy at all which is a good change he likes talking with everyone its fun we kind of chase people down sometimes too. hope all is well love yous Elder Dalton

Week 59!

Dearest Family, How was your week? What is new? My week was good nothin to exciting happened we found 2 new investigators that is always exciting. Transfer calls were today i'm staying in the same area but getting a new companion his name is Elder Robertson and i believe he is from Idaho falls so thats cool he has been an assistant to the president for the last 6 months and finishes his mission in 2 transfers so that'll be good hes a great missionary i'm excited to serve with him. i'll tell you more about him next week. But thats about all for this week. Wanted to share a scripture with yous though first is ether 12:4 its a favorite might have shared it before and the other is jacob 6:12 it reads "o be wise what need i say more" i love how simple and plain it is no misunderstanding that one. but conference was this weekend also it was heaps good i'm not to sure if i have a favorite i'm looking forward to rereading some and getting more from them but the first presidency's are always favorites and Elder hollands it was good. Hope all is well and that you have a great week love yous all. Elder Dalton

Week 58!

Gday hope all is well we had a decent week this week it was filled with meeting on wednesday we had zone leader council and on thursday we had interviews and on friday we had zone meeting and on tuesday we had stake council meeting so we didn't get to much time of being in our area this weekbut that happens sometimes. hopefully this week we'll get to spend more time outside talking with people. how has everyone been has dad gotten a new car? how is everything going for everyone. what was everyones favorite talk from conference? we get to watch it this week sorry its not a long letter this week just don't really have any stories cause we were in meeting alot but zone leader council is always cool cause we spend 5 hours talking about the mission and how it is going and what needs help and then president and the assiants give us the training on what we are to train the zone on its good fun we are focusing alot on using the book of mormon in everything we do as missionaries which is always good i love going over training for the book of mormon. i know it to be true and that is how poeple gain a testimony is through the spirit by reading the book of mormon. what a marvelous work. Love Elder Dalton.
