Dear President,

This week has been quite the busy week!

We had our exchange with the Center sisters, which went very well. Sister B is a fantastic missionary! She is very well balanced in teaching and is implementing the commitments given by President B. She is so loving and the people in this area already love and respect her so much. She will be a solid strong Sister Training Leader and I am looking forward to serving with her.

On the Center exchange, I was able to see Sister T after the Center District Meeting and she talked to me about something that has been bothering her. She said she would talk to you about it, but I thought I'd tell you too in case she doesn't write. One of the members in Vandzor has been in good contact with Sister T's family for her whole mission and this past week Sister T received a call from that member who had her father on the line (via skype). Sister T said she was completely shocked and had no idea the member was going to call her with her dad on the line to talk to her. She said she didn't know what to do and she talked to her dad for a few minutes and then told both her dad and the member it wasn't allowed and that she needed to go. She feels really bad about what happened, but doesn't know how to prevent it from happening again. I told her that she was right and did the bst she could in the situation and to tell the member that it can't happen again, so hopefully that won't be a problem again. 

We been able to meet with quite a few of our investigators this week! One of our investigators passed her interview and will be getting baptized this Tuesday and 12 and she is so excited! She is already inviting people and cannot wait to be baptized. 

Our other investigator whose daughters are back from Georgia was very close to baptism, but we found out she had a Word of Wisdom relapse, so we will be working with her on overcoming coffee. 

Our 13 year old investigator came to church with her mom this week and will be going to the Youth Conference. She is very excited and said she wants to keep meeting afterwards to be baptized!

We also have been meeting with the mother and son who we met on the street. They are very prepared to hear the gospel. The son doesn't smoke or drink and has a nice job that allows him to come to church on Sundays. Our only concern with them right now is that they tend to get off topic easily during the lessons. So we are coming up with ways to help them stay focussed and get back on topic. We gave them a Book of Mormon and have been reading and are very open and willing to pray. 

We are also working with a less active family, which Elder S taught and baptized when he was here. The daughters are making great progress in becoming reactivated. The father is leaving for Afghanistan soon, so Elder S was worried about that. Would it be okay if we called him every few weeks just to update him on their progress?

When I was on exchanges with Malatia, I met that man who is interested in helping people with addictions. He called this week and we met with him in a park. He said that after talking to us on the phone about the addiction recovery program, he had a dream with a tree and fruit on the tree. He said Christ was there and beckoning him to come partake of the fruit on the tree. He asked us if that had any significance. We talked to him about Lehi's dream and gave him a Book of Mormon to read it. We then passed him to the Malatia elders for them to teach him. Do you know if they need to go through the Stake President about an addication recovery program?

Sister W and I feel very good about the changes you made to transfers. One thing I thought I'd mention to you is that when you mentioned Sister B opening Hrazdan the first time, it really resonated with me. I know that she or Sister S would do well either way, but I just can't stop thinking about Sister B in Hrazdan. That's my only thought about transfers though!

This week I was able to experience the atonement in a different way. Throughout my studies this week, I've felt like what I've studied for my investigators has been exactly what I needed to hear. It has been such a tender mercy. I was thinking a lot about my imperfections this week and how often I need to be reminded that there's One that made up for all of my imperfections. I know that the Savior's grace has helped me above and beyond what I could ever imagine in my life. I like the quote "We who are so forgetful and even rebellious are never forgotten by Him!" I know that He loves me despite my imperfections and my mistakes. I'm grateful for the opportunity to become better and work harder every day. I'm grateful for the examples that you and Sister C are to me. I love you both so much!

Love,

Sister Morreall
