AND THEY SHALL SEE EYE TO EYE!!!

Well Hello there family!
This week has been great! I love all that your letters are saying, and we just had Stake Conference here about... member missionary work! It is so neat to see the hastening of the work!
We had a conference training meeting for the iPads, and it was so cool! Check out Mosiah 16:1. The iPads are a direct fulfillment of that prophecy, they shall see eye to eye! :) Pretty neat huh? We're gonna be able to use Skype to teach people! And the iPads are hastening tools! Those electronic devices back home can be used for so much good! Keep posting things and inviting people to come & see! I know that will bring joy into your lives and the lives of so many others!
So I'll tell you a little about what it's like here!
The apartment is great, 4 Elders in there! We play tennis in the mornings at the apartment courts. Sometimes I use a tennis racquet... sometimes I use a racquet ball racquet! :)
The weather is actually great here. I just missed the hotness! One of the roads we live next to is called Alma School... fitting right? :)
We have one hour a day to use facebook and proselyte on there! And sorry about the picture things haha! We can only have pictures with our nametag in it. But yes, I have been able to talk to Grandma, Jill, send messages to Bob and Bobby, and others online :) Love it! Keep up inviting people to come to church and to listen to the missionaries, especially in your home :)
I have learned the "secret" to inviting people to come unto Christ. It goes like this... "Will you...?" That is the way you extend invitations. And guess what, it is also the way that people commit themselves to living The Gospel! And then you can HELP them keep those commitments, by following up with them, every day. "Hey, how has your Book of Mormon reading been?" "How has praying about Joseph Smith gone?" That is how you invite people to repent and come unto Christ :)
Breakfast and lunches are great, however do you have any ideas about variety for lunch? I got the peanut butter, and the turkey sandwich down, but my expertise sort of end there :)
The dinner appointments are going great! We're going to work harder this week to inspire members to invite others to come unto Christ and listen to the missionaries! The members are wonderful! Brother Frost the ward mission leader is teaching us so much! And our Bishop, Bishop Wilson is great! He wants us to work closely and often with the members! I love having a great ward! And there are many families that are great at fellowshipping! :)
Well I love you all very much! And let me know if there is specific things you want to know. Some investigators you can pray for include:
George, BiBi and Joseph, Camille, Alex, Mario, Jose and Sergio, the Harvey family, and Marissa.
Love you all, sorry for being a short letter writer, I'll get faster :)
Love you all, it's all true, and Christ is our Lord :)
Love,
Elder Apsley
