Hey everyone!
I am now on my 4th computer and trying to make it work - I might actually get in a letter to you!  Everything went pretty good with the last District Meeting - I could tell that the spirit had been preparing me to receive the president's workshop at District Leader's Counsel (DLC) - In fact, I had already taught from Doctrine and Covenants 97:8, and my District Meeting Monday before last was about exactly what you taught at the end about Consecrated oil - so that was pretty cool.  Right now I'm getting ready to teach my District about the new guidelines for the temple tour, and I've even drawn a map for all the new missionaries so they can know what's going on, if they get transferred to somewhere where they'll help out with the Temple tours on Thursdays.  I miss the Temple- but I guess it's a good thing because when I get to go inside again, I'll treasure it more.
Anyways we had a sweet experience with an FTE - I had forgotten my scriptures on one of those water machines to get some water, and so we went back and they were watching for someone to come looking for it - then we shared a bit, and asked if he wanted to be taught then and there, and he said yes.  as we started out, he said "moreg gituyo sa Ginoo"  which basically translates to 'I think the Lord made this happen'  I think that's exactly what happened because he listened attentively, said he'd come to church, and agreed to another lesson!  I'm excited to teach him again.
anyways, I've gotta go! hope all is well with you and yours!  Hopefully I'll be able to write more next time!
-A servant of the Lord,
