Well hello there! :) how is everyone doing this week?

What has the weather been like up your way? it has been nice down here for the most part but 2 days ago and then today it has been raining so it kind of sucks. but luckily we have lots of apartments around here so we try to save those for the raining days, so that way we dont have to be out in the rain all day we can just go knock on doors in the apartment complex's. we actually had a really good day tracting on monday and we had a couple people set up return appointments, whether or not they go through i dont know but i guess we'll find out.

On Saturday we had a guy call us saying that he wanted to meet with us, so we finally got over to his place last night and he is a member but he is in-active. anyways we went over there and he was telling us his story and i guess he is originally from Honduras and was baptized down there back in 2006 and moved here in 2007, well i asked him if he knew an Elder Lee because that's where Tony Lee served his mission and he said that he did know him, he wasn't the missionary that taught him but he was in a bodering city. i thought that was way crazy! ha this guy is only 20 years old and he was telling us how he feels like since he has been away from the church he cant feel the Spirit with him like he used to be able to and he recognized that he needs to come back to church and he wants us to help him with that. i thought it was really neat that someone like him knows what he needs to do and actually wants to do it, so we are going to go over there weekly and have lessons with him.

we had interviews last Thursday over in Rifle, and it actually wasn't Zone Confrence it was just interviews because they are only going to have Zone Confrence every 3 months and we had it last transfer so we wont have another one 'til October sometime, but interviews went really well. President Maynes is a great guy and i had a good time being able to talk with him. He just asked how the work was going and how i liked the area, i told him that the work was going but it was a little slow and that i loved the area and the members so i pray that i'll be able to stay here at least one more if not 3 more ('til i'm done) ha but we'll see i guess.

This past Sunday was Stake Confrence for us but it wasn't a normal one it was broadcasted from Salt Lake and it went to all the stakes in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana so it was pretty big i think they said it was 57 stakes. but it was really good i loved it, we got to hear from Elder Hallstrum of the Presidency of the Seventy and then Sister Cook from the Young Womens Presidency and then Elder Perry and President Uctdorf! talk about a great confrence huh!? ha President Uctdorf focused on 3 things and they were 1) Hold a current temple recommend, 2) Study the Scriptures, and 3) Pray to our Heavenly Father and when you think about it those are 3 very basic things but he felt that it was something we needed to hear. So make sure y'all are doing those things.

He also made a joke that i thought was funny talking about how lots of the youth wear CTR rings and it stands for Choose the Right, he said it can also stand for Current Temple Recommend! ha i'm really looking forward to watching General Confrence to be able to hear from all of those that have been called of God to lead us, i hope that everyone (including those of you that read my blog) will be able to watch at least a part of Confrence and hear what these men have to say. i know that they are called of God and that we can find out for ourselves through prayer!

i hope the rest of your week goes well, i miss you and love you!!! cant wait to hear back.
love Randy
