hello everyone how is everything going back at home? i heard that the robinson family campout went really well. oh by the way i moved i don't know if i told you that. my new address is33 prescott street Apartment #6Sanford, Maine 04073so if you want to send me anything that would be where you would have to send it. well this sunday i was a little bit disappointed me and elder kerby worked our tails off so that we could get 20 investigators to church on sunday. we had all of them comitted to coming. we even called them on saturday night and some on sunday morning just to confirm that they were coming and that they didn't need a ride. all of them said they would be there and we were only able to get 1/4th of them there. that's right only 5 people came, which i guess is still pretty good but i really wanted 20 to come. i guess we'll just have to invite 80 investigators to come and myabe we'll get 1/4th and then 20 will come. (see i can even do math better here ha ha ha ) Me and elder kerby set a goal for the month of August to get 9 baptisms this month. we already have invited 4 and one has comitted the others are praying and pondering, which is good but i know they know it's true they should just commit. we are teaching quite a bit, the lord is really providing people for us to teach. every sunday we report weekly numbers and we add up all of our lessons taught and people contacted throughout the week. before, me and elder kerby were teaching 5 lessons a day or so. which added up to be about 20-24 lessons a week. this week we have really been trying to work really really hard, and so as a result of our hard work and the lord we taught 46 lessons, which is almost unheard of. we taught more lessons than the entire district. i think this might sound a little boastful and i appologize i hope it doesn't come across that way. we contacted 145 people this week. we got into this "bash" with a catholic preist and elder kerby and i confounded him and he walked away saying maybe mine is true maybe yours is,and we said if you aren't totally 100 % positive that your church is true then it's not. cuz i know the church of Jesus Christ of LDS is the true gospel on this earth. and he just walked away. i was so scared and nervous the whole time we were in a little "bash". i found out one thing though, i hate to bash. i think that they are so stinkin' stupid. nothing gets accomplished. yesterday i spoke in church and actually all 4 of us missionaries spoke. and everyone did a really good job. in fact all the members said they wished that the missionaries could speak every week because when the missionaries speak the spirit is the strongest and they actually learn something. so that was really fun.well i best get going i need to go do some laundry and some shopping.i hope that everything is going great for all of you. i love you all . and i am so excited to hear from you ALL. oh by the way dad don't tell me your excited to see me in 20 months it makes me trunky. ha ha ha i can't believe that it's already 1/8th over, i just now realize that i don't have a lot of time here and i better get working harder there is so much to do.ok, i'm out of here i love you allElder Stuart J.
