These past two weeks have been busy for us with District meeting and then Zone meeting. We feel very blessed that we are included in the meetings. We learn so much from the young leaders here in Montgomery. Before we arrived Elder Kakuchi came and taught them a few things about missionary work. We have all been asked to have our own sacred grove each morning. To think about the questions we have and go to the Lord prepared to ask him specifically for blessings or answers. We have had many of our prayer answered! We also have learned to take an investigator through the Sacred Grove at 15 MPH as opposed to speeding through at 50MPH. If you think about it one of the most important things we teach is why we believe we have the restored gospel! If we speed through that experience as we talk, they may never feel the spirit tell them it is true! Just two of the things we have learned.

We continue to love working with the military guys and gals. Our Family Home Evenings at the base are one of our favorite times!! We had 6 or 7 of the guys over for lunch yesterday after Stake conference. Rich said when they left," I have got to stop getting so attached to these guys. It is too hard to see them go!!!!" We look forward to keeping in touch with quite a few of them.

Our Mission President would like us to do a little traveling now to the other bases in the area. We will talk to the Stake Presidents and see if we can get something organized to help them keep track of the military. We are working on a plan right now and then we will start. Pray that we will be inspired to do what we need to do!

Nothing else going on right now. Just the usual daily things. Go to a house, no answer, go to the next! But when you finally find someone ! It is worth it. We are teaching two older guys right now. They are searching for the truth but are finding it a little hard to give up some old ideas. With the help of prayers I know they will be able to make the right choice!

We love our families. Thank you for all the love and support you give us. We could not do this without you! We meet so many people here who just do not have a relationship with their families. I do not understand it! Thank you for being so wonderful!

I will try to keep up on this blog with more exciting things. Missionary work is hard and not always exciting but the blessings are wonderful and I will write more about those in our next spot!!!!

Love you,

Sister and Elder Stewart
