Dear Mom and Dad,
How was your trip? Amelia sent me an e-mail to let me know that you would be on your spring-break excursion and that I wouldn't be getting an e-mail directly from you. But I'm sure that you are having lots of fun with all of the kids and grandkids. Things here are going pretty well. This Saturday Peter and Miara were baptized. It was a really good service although I think a lot of the members couldn't handle two baptisms in a row. We didn't have too many people there. But there were a few kids that were about their same age and they had some good family there. Those two kids are awesome. They are honestly probably smarter than some of our members. I just worry about them a little because their parents aren't members they don't have too much support. But they do have five cousins that are all strong members and close to their same age. I just wish that at least one of those seven kids' parents would be a good influence for them. But even with that situation I am really excited for them. That was probably the most exciting thing that happened this week. The rest of the week was spent trying to find new people to teach. Our teaching pool is pretty dry right now. We have a few investigators but none of them are really progressing. We've been trying to work with the members a lot to get some referrals. But not too much success so far. So for the next little while we will be doing some good quality finding. This coming week should be really good. I'm going to be going on an exchange for a couple days so I won't be able to do too much here, but it will be nice to do some work outside of Ft. Myers. It'll be my first exchange where I actually leave. That's pretty much the happenings here in Fort Myers. I can't wait to get your letter this week. I hope you have fun on your trip and say hi to everyone from me!
Love,
Elder Larson
