Well conference was just great, and although I miss being able to watch it with you guys in my pjs in the living room, it was great to be with other missionaries and members at the temple/stake center. I especially loved Elder Uchtdorf´s talking about getting an answer, and focusing on the basic requirements. I wish Jari and all of the other investigators could have heard that (yeah all of the investigators were punks and couldn´t). We did however have a nice miracle fall into our lap--Elder Boone´s teacher from the MTC had a friend who lives in our area, and brought him for the last session and we went and sat with him. He´s great, got a lot of questions, but has some potential. Member references are the best, one of the greatest surprise gifts you could give a missionary. We don´t get many here, but the ones we do get are great.
I was able to see Logan just for a second! haha I knew he was there, he left a little note with Hermana Hadley (Leah knows her) who lives around there, for me. So I saw him while I was down by the temple, and he was inside in the stairwell and I got all excited haha. They are pretty strict on us missionaries not getting anywhere near the MTC missionaries, but somehow Chelsey found a way haha. I´ll try to see what I can do, I´m sure there´s a way. He looked happy and good, as far as I could tell down from the temple grounds looking up to the glass stairway.
You asked about Sambu, mom--he´s doing good, the other elders I guess saw him walking around the city with his Book of Mormon tightly held with him. He is the only one out of them that can somewhat read, he reads fine but it is just really slow. He ran up to them and showed them the book, telling them he reads it whenever he has a moment :)
The Brazilian lady invited us over to eat some Brazilian food--rice beans and some chicken haha, it was so good. She seems to accept the gospel really well and doesn't have many problems or objections.
Jari is great, haven´t met with him since Tuesday, but he´s awesome. We´re just working with him now to help him be more active, he´s only come to church twice and it´s been a while.
Thanks for everything you guys, thank you mom. I wish I could show you guys more love and appreciation than what words on a computer allow me.
Have another great week!
Love Elder Franson
The cinnamon rolls turned out great, Mom! Thanks for the recipe.
