Dear Family and Friends,
What would be a letter from me without starting first with an apology! So first things first... I am so sorry that I missed everyone last week! It was a rough and tough week full of ridiculous events. I was afraid I wasn't going to get an opportunity today but I made it.
To be honest, I am totally swamped. I've been stressing over all the millions of things to do...but oddly grateful that I get to. Its awesome to have a full week. This past week has been something I'd say. I don't believe I've ever seen so must success in my mission, especially in finding people.
I'm very grateful to have Elder Bolton as my companion. His unconquerable energy level keeps me on my feet. Its quite the stress to maintain a constant quick pace to not loose any respect, but I need a good shove.
Like I sort of mentioned, we are having a lot of success. Our week is completely full as of last week was. We have nine investigators! not just one, but nine!They aren't really progressing, but they are still people that are actually willing to see us. Our newest investigators from last week are rocking people, Two young fathers and another young man. Thats three new investigators in one week!! Also meaning Three potential priesthood holders.
I don't really know what to say, I've just been so happy, I've felt so good. In the moments of my life when I would like to express the very most, I am lost for words.
I am sorry I again am not saying much, and my pictures have taken a slope(meaning I haven't sent any). But TrulyI am grateful for your prayers and everything that you do for me. Please include this branch as well. They need it more than I do.
Love,Elder Briggs
