Dear Family
It has been another eventful week of missionary work. We had an appointment with a potential family Michel and Charlie. We were going to eat dinner with them but when we arrived at their house Charlie told us that Michel was sick in bed. Rats… the adversary is working hard.
We visited the recent convert, Mary. Her husband just came back from working in Brazil. We are hoping that they will now let us come by. We have spoken with the ward mission leader about the lessons. We are going to try and involve the Home teachers in the teaching process.
We visited Sister Lindsay. She called us asking that we come over and say a prayer for her dog that is dying. Afterwards we visited Sister Lindsay’s visiting teacher and let her know what happened.
I have been studying from the missionary handbook and looking up the scriptures. I have been learning cool things about unity, leadership, and teaching two by two. Also I am reading one chapter in the Book of Mormon each night. Marking references to the Holy Ghost this time.
Family thanks for your praises and love, Elder Durfee

Dear Family,
Hello and greetings, I hope all is well. This last week was a good one. We kicked off the week with teaching the Mom of the Ainsworth family in our ward. She had many question, an example would be word of wisdom, what church is like, what’s it like to be a member, and so forth. She said that she is looking for a church. She does not live in our ward but we invited her to come to church. Unfortunately she did not come.
Elder Edwards came to our ward on Tuesday. It was great several doors opened and we even tracted into a man that let us teach him a lesson. He was not interested in learning more but he let us talk to him.
We also taught Sister Hansen (a less-active sister) the “Gospel of Jesus Christ” and she came to church on Sunday.
We had a follow up appointment for the first lesson with Josh. We talked to him on the front porch but he told us that he felt the Book of Mormon was not true. He read bits and parts of the book and was confused about what he was reading. I think he flipped threw the book reading paragraphs here and there and did not really understand what he was reading. I invited him to read it and understand it. We brought a member in the neighborhood to the appointment. Josh might be interested in coming to some ward parties.
Our Ward Trunk or Treat was packed. We had to set up extra chairs in the relief society room because we had so many people. Several less-active actually were early to the activity. We gave out some glow sticks to the kids and made each one ask us something they did good that day. We quickly ran out of glow sticks thought. There were several hundred kids. Our ward mission leader was able to get us the glow sticks for us.
Well I think that this was most of the work. We visited lots of potentials even contacted a referral. It has been great being a part the work this week.
