Not much to say

uh... not really sure what to say about this week. We've been pounding down the area books and getting them cleared out. We now can focus a little more on the finding through tracting aspect and through the members as well in one of the wards. I'm really glad that we've been clearing out the books because they're getting ready to put one set of elders in each ward for the whole mission starting when the split of the missions happen in July, so now who ever gets the split doesn't have 3 year old information in them and they can start from the newest stuff. It's been good.
No real stories to tell from this week. We taught J. and his family about FHE and how it can be a blessing if they use it to turn off all the technology in the home and just spend it as one on one time. It was strange talking about the blessings of FHE since I was practically never there in high school, but I do know what it did for me in the singles ward. They committed to it and hopefully they'll do it tonight.
G. is progressing well. We locked down a date for her baptism so that her kids could be there for both the baptism and the confirmation the next week in church.  She wants her kids to be baptized as well, just after she goes through it herself. We haven't started to tech the kids yet. Her date it May 19, 2013 and the confirmation will be May 26th. I'm excited for her. I've seen a real increase of light in her life. The way she described the truth of God is that the more you learn the more it refines you, so it makes sense that to be Mormon there's a lot more than other religions for personal refinement for qualifications to become a member and also enter into the temple. It was cool. We taught the Plan of Salvation.
Not much else to say... gonna go play tennis today. I'll send some pictures to you guys to make up for the lack of content.

Me using a machete to cut back blackberry vines and bushes. I got a couple scratches on my face and arms from that.
