Dear Home,
It feels like this has been a long week, but I don't have too much to say about it, unfortunately.
On tuesday, we had a spirit-filled lesson with one of our newer investigators. Basically, we read a short talk, pausing frequently to teach principles and bear testimony. Note to everyone: Bearing your testimony is a wonderful way to invite the spirit.
On Friday, we met a man who had talked to missionaries before and received a Book of Mormon, and had recently been thinking about whether or not he should read it- then we came by. We taught him about the Restoration, and invited him to read and pray about the Book or Mormon. He'll be going into working as a truck driver soon, so we recommended that he look into getting a Book of Mormon on CD so he can listen while driving, and he's seriously thinking about it. He's a very solid, soul-searching, spirit-seeking man. I'm excited to meet with him again.
We had another really good lesson on Saturday. We were teaching a long-time investigator who didn't seem to have much motivation, until recently. She now is starting to understand that she needs to be baptised and that there are a few things that need to change in her life before she can be baptised. We taught her about baptism: What it is, why it's important, how we can make it happen. She wants to be baptised, but she's not sure if she can make the changes that need to be made. On the flip-side, though, I KNOW she was feeling the spirit in that lesson. She will be baptised someday, and by that time, her life will have been dramatically changed for the better.
I think I've been on for more than an hour by now. =( By the way, I'm in Prince Albert right now (Just for a visit). I'll be back in Flin Flon by Wednesday. But in the meantime, I'm going to have fun getting to be around other missionaries for a few days. =)

You are doing a lot of good work. It's great to see how Heavenly Father helps people and helps you be in the right place at the right time.
You should let the truck driver guy know he can download the audio files for free on lds.org:
