March 14th...

Dear friends,
I am doing teriffic. I really do feel great. We are finding, and teaching, and well, trying to baptize. haha. Thsi past week flew by. I really don't know where the weeks go anymore. They go way to fast for my liking. I have had the opportunity to split off with a lot of missionries becasue my companion is the district leader so that has been a blast. But the coolest thing that happened this week-well I haev two stories. First one. On Saturday, a man named Keio was baptized. He is 21 I believe and taught by the other Elders. We had the baptism after our english classes. But that is not the miracle. Our english class is amazing. They are the first class that I have taught that actual participates in the spiritual thoughts. So I told them how today was a very special day and we taught and explained baptized. And guess what, all 7 stayed for the baptismal service!!! How cool is that? I have never had that many investigators to come to a service. They all loved it. It was just such an awesome feeling there. Then the next miracle. We have some Russian sisters that work in part of our area. They had a lesson set up with an Estonian woman whom they taught in Russian so they wanted to pass her off to us. So Elder Lane and I went to teach with them. The first lady was just hilarious and so confused. She kept thinking that we prayed to the holy ghost and that we thought Joseph Smith was Christ but in his body. She just had some way whacky beliefs. But she was a sweet heart and really wants to learn. She will definitely be a project, but it was a blast. Then afterwards we stopped at another house in the same building and they let us in. We taught them about the Restoration. They liked it, but kept saying they were 'to old to change' ya ya. We have heard that a lot. So it was really fun. We have retrun appointments with both of them next week, so that is exciting. 3 new investigators thanks to the Russian sisters. haha. But the work is going good. The weather is getting better and sunny and warm and people are getting happier. We'll start seeing changes soon. Well I hope you are doing well. You are all in my prayers. Remember to keep Estonia in yours.
Love ya,
Elder Boyce
