It is about 75 degrees in beautiful New York. (All of you eat your hearts out as you swelter in your perspective states of residence). We couldn't be happier, unless of course we got to see each of you. I had a great time going to teach a lesson with the Sister missionaries last night. We talked to people on the streets as we came and went. Watching the sisters gave me some good tips on how to approach people and introduce the gospel to them in a non-threatening way. The best thing about their approaches was the natural and caring way they spoke to people. "Are you from this area? Have you ever spoken to missionaries before? Have you ever wondered if you have a purpose in life? Etc. Etc." I was surprised at how kind people were (this was in the hood). Then we gave them pass along cards with the sister's phone numbers on them. Who knows what will happen. Sounds weird but it was very natural and a sweet experience. By the way, look at mormon.org as a family and go to the OUR PEOPLE link and check the profiles that are listed on the left. They are great! Also look on lds.org and view the video called forgiveness if you haven't already. It is amazing. You may remember the events spoken of in the video took place. We love you so very much. We think of you all the time. Be happy and kind to each other. Mom and Dad
