Subject: Smile! People will wonder what you're up to.

Ok, so my address is 174 S "O" Street #36, Lincoln California. I got the letter from Mom this week that had two letters in it. I think the only thing that was missing was the apartment number 36. So sorry about that.
Well Al is still planning on getting baptized this saturday, we only have a couple of commandments left to teach him. We also picked up a couple of new investigators this week. Other than that, we are just pushing on and doing our best.
I love reading Elder Jason Morgan Allreds letters, and hearing about how hard missionary work is in Brazil. For your information, I hit my all time high of 23 lessons this week, (and I had too work my right toe off to get that many but nineteen of those lessons were with members. :)
Reading through the church instruction manual in PEC this week, we learned that the Temple should be no more sacred than our homes. Everyday we should strive to make our homes places where the spirit can be felt often. That is why we try to have our lessons in the members homes; so our investigators not only have friends, but the recognize the difference in member homes and they want that in their homes.
Thanks for the support. Choose The Right Always!
Elder Ryan J Allred
