howdy yall, it has sure been a great week. confrence was awesome. we finally got an investigator to church. she came to the sunday morning session of confrence. she loved it. the first time we had taught this lady was in between the sessions on saturday. her name is beverly franklin. she has a son in high school who plays football, he is a sophomore. he benches 385, he is huge, their school went to state this year. but we taught beverly the plan of salvation because some of her neighbors had some recent deaths in the family caused by murder. she has alot of questons about what the purpose of life is.we had a very spiritual lesson and committed her to be baptised on may 2, she accepted. she came to confrence the next day and we are very excited about her. we also have 3 other people who are committed to be baptised on may 2 a husband his wife and their 9 yr old son. the wife went to mormon. org and just loved it. she then went to her husband and did some missionary work and now we are teaching them all. they are great. good things are happening. transfers are next week and most likely i will be getting transfered, i will once again miss out on the baptisms. as long as they get baptised is all that matters. this work is great. one thing that stuck out to me from confrence is that as we keep our covenants we dont need to worry about anything. i loved the talk in priesthood session by pres uchtdorf. when he talked about nehemiah in the bible his reply to those who were his enemys he said i am doing a great work, i can not come down. i thought this talk fit my situation very well. i dont have much time left so when i am told to go home my reply will be, i am doing a great work and i can not go home. i received revalation:) so with that you dont need to expect me home any time soon. and plus i have changed the way i approach people. with UNC doing so great at basket ball and with my cousin as the all star player. it makes it easier to get people to listen to me. the problem is then i have flocks of people trying to get my autograph. so i give them all pass along cards. things are great here. we are having fun. my companion is a city boy from sandy utah but he is a good man and we get along great. yall have a great week, we are surely going to. talk to ya later.
love elder dees

Aaron cracks me up. I think he'll be excited to come home once he realized how many pretty girls we all want to set him up with.
