***I posted this weeks letter from daniel and last weeks. Check them both out!***
Hey Mom, How're you doing? I have to make this quick, The computers are being timed now for a hour so I have to hurry, Things here are going great, This past week was kind of slow, We decided to walk around to save some miles and that really hurt us this week, But its ok. Numbers don't matter, To me at least, Some others it does. Thats great that you are moving in on Saturday, Very exciting. Transfer calls came in on Saturday night and we are both staying, I was super nervious I lost some weight in the process. I'm doing alright, Being a missionary is seriously all Physicaly, Mentally, Spiritually, and Emotionally....Draining.... I can only take so much of it and it really stresses me out. I gets annoying sometimes but I love it at the same time too haha. Good thing I have the Chandler family here in Alma!!! I love them all!! there kids are great!!! Sister Chandler is one of my best friends here.
Ummm lets see, we have a few baptisms coming up in Late April and a few in the middle I think, We finally are getting our investigators to come to church, Its as if someone hit them over the head and they finally got some common sense. I'm very thankful to have this happen. That is Hilarious to read what Kaelyn said at church, Haha!!! Just like her to do that. I'm happy to hear that Adam gave Lauren a Blessing, He's a great guy, he was my Home teacher companion before I left. Funny guy. I hope she gets better soon. Well I got to get going, I hope all is well for you all, I'm very happy to hear that Dwight passed all of his Exams. Yes!!! I love you all. Thanks for praying for me, it helps!

Love, Elder Daniel Stuart

Hey there!

I'm doing alright, My week was pretty good, We FINALLY had some investigators make it to church yesterday!!! They enjoyed it, Its a family of 6 and 3 of them are old enough and accepted to be baptised!! We also have some other people that are going to be baptized real soon! I think the earliest is April 2. She has such a strong testimony and loves everything that we have to say, Why can't everyone be like this? We really have been blessed here, it's so amazing!!! so this day light savings really threw me off big time, I set all the clocks an hour forward on friday instead of saturday and so I woke up on 5:30 AM on saturday for no reason what so ever. Man, you think after almost 20 years I'd get this right, right?

Hey! I did not scream like a girl!!!! I just hate spiders haha! I was as the Chandler's when that happened. They are so awesome!!!! I love that family to death!!!! We hardly had any dinner appointments last week and they invited us over for dinner like 3 or 4 times!!! Awesome huh?!? I'm glad that you saw those pictures! I'm really sorry that your asthma is acting up again, I wish there was something I could do, my allergies are picking up again... ugh... I can't believe that I've been out for 6 months!!! It's going by super fast!!! Transfers are next week on thursday I think. I'm not really nervous my companion only has one more transfer so I'll be here for a while!!!!! The assistants even tell me that! I don't want to leave Alma. Bummer that everyone has the stomach flu, I hope everyone gets well soon. Well, I got to go, I hope all is well with everyone! Love you all!!!

Hey there!

This week was GREAT! Friday was probably one of the greatest days that I have had on my mission yet. The Assistant to the Presidents (AP's) came out on a exchange with us and it was great! they helped us blitz the area and the missionary I was on a exchange with us was in my opinion the best missionary in the field! We get along so well. He asked me some questions about the mission and I flat out told him that people are too hell bent on doing whatever it takes to baptise someone, when there forgetting that the most important thing to do is to touch the people's hearts as much as possible. Love them, Love everyone, and Love the work. I'm not saying that all of them do that, just a lot. He told me that he agrees with me 100% and he likes my Ideas a lot!

Yesterday was soooo AWESOME! got 3 new investigators and all with a date! We tracted into a house with a mustang outside and it was my turn to talk. So I knocked on the door and really gorgeous woman opened the door and my jaw literally dropped.... I had to say something so I started talking about her mustang and related it to the gospel. Awesome right? and she invited us in!!! her boyfrend was inside and it was his car. But anyways. They both seem really interested and they accepted a date! I'm so excited!!!

So yeah Sister Egerton made me a Cherry pie and it was gooooood!!! I kinda figured that she told you. :P Thats great that Dwight is healing slowly but surely! I'm also happy to hear that the moving is going good! Thats so cool that Avatar 2 is coming out when I'm home. I knew they were making one already tho. Possibly a 3rd one as well. I got to get going but Tell Everyone that I love them sooooo much and that I miss them a lot too. I hope that all is well. I'm taking pictures but I forgot my camera :S I am looking forward to your package! Love you all!!
