Dear family,

Well, I have some new pictures this past week, but I didn't bring the cable to the library to attatch them to the e-mail...sorry.This week we had the new missionary/trainer meeting and learned all the things I'm still not perfect on...close, but...haha! I still have a lot of refining to do. Things are good here. We seem to cycle through our investigators pretty rapidly. We've been getting lots of new people to teach and then they haven't been keeping their follow-up visits. Every few though, we get somebody who wants to continue. This past week six people gave us strong commitments to come to church...and one came. Pheobe, who is a daughter of Samantha, who has recently started coming back to church...sound familiar. This situation has been the avenue that has progressed the most since I've been in this ward. A single mom with an unbaptized child wanting to come back. In our last visit she mentioned she would like to start the lessons to prepare Pheobe for baptism. Great! can do! She'll get to grow up with a great foundation.Everyone is getting bombarded with opposition though. It seems the more these people want to do what's right they get blasted with a world of struggle to get there. I hope they can press through the difficulty and get rooted in the faith of God so they can be delivered...just as in the last verse of 1 Nephi 1. Those who are faithful are delivered. They still must go through the trial though. All must press through the trial to be free of it. Then we have grown and been refined more and more through every trial.Love ya!-Elder Osness
