We are teaching a middle aged couple, well educated, who are editors. They work from home. They don’t have children, but they have some interesting cats. Our last lesson was well received. Dean (Elder Longmore) is able to answer many of the questions that come up and we team teach the lessons. It is just amazing to witness the spirit at work both in our lives as we teach, and in the lives of those being taught. The spirit of missionary work is a sweet loving spirit. We feel it when we teach, we see it in the eyes of the missionaries, and we feel it in the office. It is a wonderful thing.
P.S. We just returned from a meeting with the ward mission leader and the Elders assigned to our ward. On the way home we were discussing why we were assigned so far away from where we live. We live in Goffstown and our ward is the Derry Ward. We believe there is a reason. We think we might know who it is. There is a man who is not a member, but who attends every Sunday, pays tithing, participates in lessons, and is very active in church. He doesn’t want to be baptized because his father baptized him years ago and he feels it would be disrespectful to his father to be baptized again. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could teach him and help him understand the blessing of baptism by one who had authority from God? Whatever the reason, we hope to find it and pursue it.
Happy Spring!!!!
Elder & Sister Longmore

I loved the letter from Bishop Monk that you emailed me... I printed it off for Levi. Good luck with Brother "Should be a Mormon but isn't quite yet"-- he doesn't stand a chance with you two around! I had a similar experience on my mission.
Love you!
