Hola!!  Wow Dad, thanks for all the  photos and it looks like you did take a "few" pictures of those flowers!  You didn't  burn out my computer but it looks like you might have burnt out the flowers, haha.  They were good pictures.  Looks like the area you were in was very pretty as well!  We need to go skiing there for sure!!  And it looks like I should be arriving into Salt Lake Tuesday morning (August 26th ?).  It is not for sure yet, but that is what they said normally happens for the gringos, so you should be able to plan on that! Sounds like you guys have been keeping busy with Grandma's house and stuff!  And good luck sleeping in the truck Saturday!  Looks like you are becoming quite the photographer!  Taking some sacrifices to get the good pictures!  I am excited to see how they turn out! And have fun in Colorado this week Mom!  And thanks for sending the names to do baptisms!  Looks like we are gonna go here in a couple of weeks because Winston is finishing all his finals and stuff right now in college.  But I will let you know how it all goes when we go!  Wow, looks like the work is going pretty good there in the Bedford Ward!  That is awesome that you guys have some investigators coming and stuff, looks like the ward mission leader is doing a pretty good job!!  And thanks for writing about the hermana here.  We will just try to help her feel the spirit and realize the importance of it all.  I think that has been one of the hardest parts of the mission for me. It is just frustrating when the people don't understand the importance of it all - especially the ones that are endowed and sealed.  Just got to have a lot of patience and love them I guess, and let the Spirit do the work!  We are getting very close with some menos activos familias - just need a little push!  So me and my comp have been planning a "noche de visitas" with the ward, or a "night of visits" I guess, and we had been getting all the members excited about it and last night we were able to do it.  We had really good support from the Bishop and it turned out that a lot of the members came. Had about 50 - super good for an activity like that.  We split up and visited a bunch of inactive and less active families and it turned out really good.  We were able to reach a lot of people and it helped a lot for sure, so that was our miracle for the week.  Never thought it would work out as good as it did so we were very happy about that!  The work here in our sector is going pretty good.  We were able to set a baptismal date with a family Saturday and they came to church Sunday so that was great!  So things are going pretty good!  Glad that I am gonna be able to finish out here in this ward!!  I hope that you are all doing good!!  Have a great week this week!  I love and miss you all! 

Elder Moser
