Things are going pretty slowly. Our numbers for this week were pretty low... I guess you can't always have good weeks. My first zone conference is tomorrow, so I will finally get the package you sent me! I'm excited to see whats in it! Have you gotten the survey back? I think that was a brilliant idea by the way. You should keep making those. That was the fastest and easiest letter I've ever sent. I'm also soooo grateful for all of the letters I received from everyone. It really lifted my spirits and gave me some needed energy. I love you all so much. Thank you for you kind letters. Despite how hard things have been, I've been happy knowing that I am where I am supposed to be. I taught a woman the other day and I could feel God's love for her. I had only known her for a couple of minutes, but I knew that God loved her. Its so amazing to know that God knows everyone and loves us all individually. I wouldn't trade that for anything. I've already seen people's lives begin to change from this gospel. I can't wait to see more lives blessed and changed through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
[Note from Kristyn: I sent EGH a survey because he kept forgetting to answer certain questions in his letters and I was going a little nuts. Then I started having fun with it. So I sent him a survey with "yes" or "no" boxes and told him to answer the questions and drop it in the mail box--I had provided a self-addressed stamped envelope.
