Hey!                                                                                                    March 19, 2012

So we had a good past week! We've been meeting with Kevin a lot and his family. He is getting baptized this Saturday!!!!!! And he asked me to baptize him. We’re suuuuper excited for him. He can't wait! Were even going over to teach him today during our P-Day, because he wants to see us so much, it’s awesome.
The weather has been pretty nice here, it feels like spring. The trees are starting to bloom and get some color. I'm glad that we had such a mild winter!
We had zone conference this last week on Thursday. It was down in Vineland, NJ, which is about 40 miles away from our apartment, so it took a lot of miles. But we learned a lot and I took some good notes. We learned a lot about charity.  They also really pushed inviting people to be baptized the first time we meet with them, which isn't always easy! Saturday our ward had a St. Patrick's Day dinner/party. Which was fun, and we had one of our investigators show up!  On Sunday Kevin came to church and brought his whole family... yay! My companion and I taught the Sunday school class for the older teenager’s cause they didn’t have a teacher that was fun. We got to know the youth a little bit better, and the members here are starting to have us over more often now.. I think. Hopefully they continue to invite us over more often!
General Conference is in 2 weeks! I gotta say I’m a lot more excited for it now that I’m on my mission. Were going to be going over to Kevins house to watch conference at his house with his family, cause he has BYUTV, which he's been watching a ton of lately! The church has some cool stuff on their website to share General Conference with others along with a cool video. you guys should check it out. http://www.lds.org/general-conference/invite-others?lang=eng
This transfer is almost over (it will be my 3rd transfer which is 6 weeks long) So there's a possibility that I could be transferred in two weeks, but I will most likely be staying for at least one more transfer in this area!
Well honestly I don't have a whole lot more to say.. The Mission is going great here in Medford, NJ! I’ve got an awesome companion and were having lots of fun over here in New Jersey!
Thanks everyone for the support! Keep Kevin in your prayers!! Have a GREAT week!
