How to use:

1. Feel free to comment to our boy by using the comments listed directly below the post. When he comes home, I'm sure he would love to go back over all of his letters and read the comments that others added to encourage him. All you have to do is click on the

0 Comments (or sometimes it lists how many there are).

2. In most cases, the names will be changed to prevent too much personal information from getting out.

Thanks for reading his letters. I'm sure he would love to know how many people ARE reading and how much we all love him and what work he's doing!

Family,

Your guy's letters pumped me up! Especially good job Mandee! Make sure
this guy isn't just interested because you're pretty. We call that flirt to convert; things do not end well...lol. We had another great week with six people at church, and we had a surprise baptism! We moved Teddy's date up a week so that his wife could attend. It was a great service and a ton of members came even though it was last minute. One of our investigators brought most of the refreshments without being asked it was pretty sweet. That's two in a row!

As far as our other investigators:
Nick is doing really well; he will go down on the 30th for sure! He is
going to serve a mission when he turns 19, which will be so sweet.
Dora and Darius are also doing great. There aunt from North Carolina
came to visit them and prier to that visit we gave her a BOM. She is
going to be reading the BOM with Darius over the phone because he has
trouble reading. The aunt is really cool and we got her address to send
to the missionaries in Charlotte, which is sweet because a few people
from my MTC group went there. They also are looking solid for the 30th.
Luisa and her family aren't doing as well due to a sick little girl.
They could go to church and had to skip out on some of our appointments
because of it. They are still progressing really well; I'm just not sure if they will be ready by the 30th. We shall see!

Patricia is doing better. She came to her second baptism, which always
makes a huge difference. Elder Holland said that 80% of the people who
go to a baptism service usually have their own, so we will get her in!
She still hasn't accepted a date, but she is asking really good
questions.

We are struggling finding new people while we are teaching all of our
investigators; I guess that's a good problem. We need to find more
people so our teaching pool doesn't disappear on the 30th. Elder Swan
and I have been giving a lot of trainings on finding so maybe we can
actually apply what we teach. Lol.

I'm glad to hear that everything is going so well with all of you. Keep
me up to date with how everything progresses. I love you all and hope
you all have a great week!

Elder Sorensen

Dear Elder Sorensen,
It was nice meeting you outside of Scavengers on 218th street on Thursday with Elder Swan. Good luck on your mission!
