Dear Mom and Dad 26 July 2010

So the week was good, we had ZLC where we learned more about what the
church is going to be doing with these new changes in the missionary
calender and lessons. Its was very inspiring, and comforting. I thought that
I might be missing out on something leaving just as these things have come
out, but I am not, these new lessons aren't new, but are a way of teaching
missionaries how to teach people and not view them as objects, or
statistical numbers.

On Sunday we went and saw a part member family that we have been trying to
see this past week. It was pretty special how things worked out. The father
of the family, who is not the member, let us in. We talked with him and his
two sons about how their day went and started to get to know them. The
father brought up a concern that he has for his kids, which is that they
aren't interested in learning about God. He has a very limited set of
teaching skills that doesn't appeal to 10 and 13 years old's. So we told him
about the fun activities we have that can teach simple principles and he
agreed to have us come back to do a Family Home Evening. It was really neat.

Later on Sunday we went to visit a person who formerly investigated the
church. He was being taught 8 to 9 months ago and I met him while I was on
exchanges here with Elder Hancock. When we talked to him at his door he came
right out with what his concern was. We asked for some of his time and we
taught to his needs. He had questions about tithing and had some things
confused, thinking he would only have 30 dollars a month left because he
lives on a fixed income with being disabled. We got that straightened out,
there must have been some miscommunication somewhere. Anyways, we got him
back now. He is going to FHE tonight with the singles ward and is getting
back into church and institute.

I've got to go and change into my basketball cloths. I love you family!

love,

Elder D Kelly Conrad
