Letter dated July 12, 2011

Sunday night we went to what our mission calls," cottage meetings " at our mission home. There are speakers that have recently joined the Church and they share their stories of their conversion. We brought Jessica. It was awesome ! The speakers were wonderful and so full of faith and happiness. The common theme that drew them into the Church was the Churchs' emphasis and importance on eternal families. The teaching of our children correct morales and principles and the knowledge that families can be eternal through ordinances and covenants made in our Temples. Jessica really enjoyed it. We had a lesson with her yesterday and it went so well. She told us that she can now say with conviction. She knows the Book of Mormon is true and that President Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God. The Spirit was so strong as we listened to her and then testified to her over the power of the Atonement. She is moving along beautifully.
