Also on Saturday we visit less active YSA (young single adults) in our ward area (we have 111 of them) and invite them to attend a CES Institute class. Many of them have not been to church in quite a while.
On Saturday, March 8, when we went out in the pounding rain to visit, we were met with open arms and received in genuine love. And we got commitments from some wonderful young people to come to our Book of Mormon class and the keyboard class on Thursday evenings! The work is moving forward! - Sunday - Bay Shore callings, CES firesides, Young Single Adult meetings, Stake choir practices, reactivation planning dinners with ward members, etc.

It was great to hear from you. Since we have two children (and Scott's wife and kids) living in NYC, we're happy to know there are people there trying to make it better. I'll pass your address along to the sisters in the ward. Things are going well here despite snow, snow, snow. Emily leaves for Preston MTC next Thursday. We wish you a happy day, week, mission. Linda
Well, aren't you busy little beavers. I do hope you have some time to take in the wonderful NYC culture. Beverly and I went to the Big Apple twice last year--and loved both trips.
BTW, we just filled in all our online missionary "papers" and now start the long process of seeting doctors and dentists. You have set the missionary bar high, and we are trying to follow your example.

You write very well.
