Dear Family,
Thanks for the birthday wishes.  Brittany- that is my correct address yes.  This last week was kind of a bummer week for appointments.  We only had one that didn't fall through for us.  On the brightside we were able to find quite a few potentials and we've been training some of our ward missionaries on how to tract.  It's good to get to know these young men better.  We did have a lot of member lessons though so that was good.
Things are going well in the District.  I conducted our first meeting on Saturday.  It was kind of strange being the one conducting instead of just attending haha but it was good.  We set some baptismal goals and got to know each other better.  We have 2 new elders and one new sister in our district.  I have good feelings about our district and we are already getting along swell.  We had a baptism in our ward yesterday.  One of the families in our ward, the Clarkes, had their son baptized so it was good to attend that.  We had a non-member there too which was good.
Other than that not a whole lot has been going on.  We had a pretty big thunderstorm here this last week.  It took the power out for a little while.  The lightning was really lighting up the sky and the rain was coming down hard.  Lucky for us it was at night so we didn't have to be out in it.
One thought that i've had this last week is just about the importance of the Holy Ghost.  With this week not doing well with our scheduled appointment, it was a good thing we had made inspired back up plans.  Through following the Holy Ghost it led us to people who are allowing us to come back and teach them.  Hopefully good things come from this.  Also with the baptism it really showed the difference between the power of the Holy Ghost and the gift of the Holy Ghost to me.  How blessed we are to have this gift in our lives and how lucky we are to be able to share the power with other people.
