Dear Mom and Dad,

-The Electric Shaver Charger broke again...I'll stick to the disposable razors for the time being

-No letters or packages this week

Well, it was an interesting week! We had our Zone Conference in Lucena this week. In our mission there are three Zone Conferences, two of them comprising of three zones, and the other having 4 zones. It's always fun to see other missionaries and see old friends. Our Zone Conference is in Lucena City which is about 2 hours away from our area. The focus of our Zone Conference was on the Book of Mormon. It's something that I've felt as well lately, that we can be using the  Book of Mormon better than we have.

Well, we had 16 investigators and 8 Less-Actives come to church today!! Not bad! We were pretty surprised considering we were gone all Wednesday for Zone Conference, and we had a lot of appointments cancelled on us. The majority of our investigators have Law of Chastity and Word of Wisdom concerns. Our White Rabbit investigator is making some progress, but is still struggling with cigarettes. Our 7th Day Adventist Investigator came again, and we had a really good lesson with him yesterday.

I'm running out of time, and I'm sorry this is really short, but I'll close with this story. We're teaching a family that I think I had told you were former investigators a while back. We taught them on Saturday, and when we got there, it was clear that the two parents were having some kind of argument. We were a bit worried, and hoped that they would be able to get everything figured out. On Sunday morning, I saw the Sister come to church with her 4 children. As she got closer, I could see her crying, and I ran up to meet her. Through her tears, she told me that her husband had left her. As I stood there, my heart went out to her, and I marveled that this investigator showed up to church on time, dressed right, with her Book of Mormon in hand, and with a smile on her face through her tears. I could begin to feel the love that our Father in Heaven has for this sister and her family. God bless her!

Love,

Elder Yost
