Family!
 It's been a great week, a lot better than it has been lately. We were so excited to go to that missionary broadcast and thought it was amazing. I thought it was great that the overall theme was getting the members to work better with the missionaries and working with the less active members more. That's exactly what our ward needed to hear right now. The ward has been struggling to work together and the ward mission leader and us are going to try all we can to bring unity to the ward.  They mentioned in the broadcast that we need to take care of the members we already have before we can get more, and I agree with that.  We are planning a BBQ or ice cream social pretty soon that we will put on, and we're also helping to teach more in church meetings. Another problem right now is that everybody is moving our of the ward! We helped with moves last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and have two more this weekend. Half the primary is gone now and there's almost no youth. So we are hoping and praying for more members to move into the ward. But we were able to find a lady the other day while tracting and hope to be able to teach her soon. I know things will get better soon.
President and Sister Black leave this week, but we are excited to meet the new president. The whole mission is getting together on Friday to meet him.  I know he will be a great president and look forward to meeting him. Transfers are on Monday so we will be getting our transfer calls right before President Black leaves this week. I'm excited to see what happens here with us!
So something cool that happened this week was last Tuesday, we had the privilege of going to give a blessing to a baby in the hospital that was 2 months premature. It was an investigator in Elder Birch and Selveys ward, in our district, so they asked us to come with them.  But the baby was so small and it was amazing to be a part of that, and witness the miracle of priesthood blessings. It really reminded me how fragile and important human life is and gave me a different perspective of things. I appreciated that opportunity I had.
Mom, I am excited about the pioneer season coming up, and am wondering if you could send me a story or two of our ancestors that I could have with me. I'm excited for when you can show me how to do more on our genealogy, cause before I left I didn't have the desire. Thanks for the letters and emails, I appreciate all you do for me, Have a great week!
