Dear Family,

Happy Father's Day on Sunday, Dad!  I love you!

This week was a good one.  We had a lot of tender mercies from the Lord and found some good new investigators.  We taught a couple in Hominy. She's black and he's Mexican. She's Baptist and he's Catholic. They were really sweet and open. We didn't get through the whole first lesson so we're excited to teach it to them this week.  

We also had a fun first lesson with a lady named Taima in Skiatook.  She was so excited when she heard about the Restoration. She wondered why she'd never heard of it before and wanted to know why there wasn't a movie about it :).  We showed her how to watch the Joseph Smith movie online and she said she'd share it with her family and friends. It was a great lesson.  

Yesterday we visited with a family we found last week for the 2nd time. We read from 3 Nephi 11 with them and the Spirit was very strong. There is a lot of power in The Book of Mormon.

We were walking in an area on Friday where a less active lady lives. We've stopped by before and she didn't seem interested in visiting with us. On Friday, though, she came running out of her house when she saw us and said she wanted to visit with us. At the end of the visit she talked about how she wants to give a talk in church and how she would be there Sunday. I was very grateful for that experience.

I love you all very much! I love the Gospel. I'm very grateful for the evidences of Heavenly Father's love in my life. 

Have a wonderful week!

Love,
Sister Monson
