The General Epistle of Samuel (surprise from the mission department.....)

We had a very good week this week. We were blessed in ways we have not seen before. We have had many people coming to us to learn about the gospel. One interesting one started on Monday. We received a text with information regarding an individual wanting a copy of the Book of Mormon as they requested on Mormon.org. We made plans to stop by her after interviews on Tuesday. We stopped by as planned and had a lovely conversation with her and arranged a time to come and teach her again. Before we left I asked how she came across the website (I'm always curious about how people find it) and she told us something surprising. She said she has a friend in Idaho that is preparing to serve a mission and that they had told her to have the missionaries around. She followed through and now we are teaching her. She was surprised to hear that I was from Idaho as well. Small world!

Throughout the week we had many people speak with us and it gave many opportunities to share the restored gospel. We are quite busy now. I am grateful for all the people we have to teach. Now we must sift the wheat from the tares. 

Now for the surprise from the mission department. We had a mission wide conference call a couple nights ago where President Jordan informed us of a mission wide conference that will be held in two weeks in the Hyde Park chapel. We will be visited by a Seventy who is assigned to the missionary department where we will receive training on how to be effective with our new iPads we'll be getting in two weeks. This is quite exciting news since there has been talk of it for about a year now haha. They'll be coming just in time to bring one home ;) It should be an interesting experience. 

That has been our week this week. Thank you all for your love and support. I hope you all have a fantastic week and I look forward to hearing from you next week!

Love,

Elder Dalton
