"We will start to see more and more people prepared to hear the gospel"

Dear Family and friends,

I never know what to tell you all. All I have to talk about is missionary work... which isn't really all that exciting I know. I guess the highlight of the week was that we went to the temple! Yeah! I love the temple. Oh another highlight the Johnson family are active and the dad baptized his kids! I got to go back and witness it. I was so happy. but moment on the mission and I wasn't even there to teach them all the way. Also we had stake conference and our investigator phil henley came! Very surprising. And the whole thing was all about the BOM. I think it will really help him. and he met a bunch of older guys like him that ride motorcycles like him. I think he really likes the society. We talked about the WOW and he said he could give up everything alcohol and tobacco but coffee would be his hard part. Its a process. Wanda Brady is still as stubborn as usual she still wont pray in front of us and doesn't really want to come to church. But she did commit to coming to church this next week. She knows she needs to be baptized. I know she does.

The Musser's didn't come to church. These people want answers to there prayers but they are not doing there part to get an answer. God wont just tell them without them doing there work. and I try to help them see that they must read, pray and come to church and really have a desire for there answer. So another week goes by and I know what I need to teach them now. 

6 weeks in Sandy already. A full transfer has passed and it feels like yesterday that I got here. Elder Dresen is picking up missionary work very fast. He's really good at doing the correlating. I let him be in charge of it and that's most of the work right now. And he's doing much better with talking to people. More relaxed. 

So elder Holland did come and speak to us and he was talking about the increase and hastening of the mission. Missionary work has to change because it is not going as fast is it should. I really think we will start to see more and more people prepared to hear the gospel. We only have to ask. This past week a few less actives decided to meet with us. There neighbors didn't even know that they would have been interested. They just didn't ask. Well its rainy today so we will be playing basketball inside. Love you all Take care.

Elder Salmon
