HELLO!!!!! Mom I hope you had a great Mother's day! I realized last night before falling asleep that I never said "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!" But It was so great to hear you all, of those I spoke to. All my other dear siblings. .I will talk to you in 3 months about!!! Can't wait. I can't believe Kevin is home. I can't wait to see MORE pictures of the day!!

As for my week. .get ready. Angela was baptized. As you saw from the pic email I sent! It was a great service. He fiancé was able to come so we had it in the morning instead of in the evening. She was confirmed the next day in sacrament. She was so happy! I love seeing people make that first covenant with our Heavenly Father. I spoke in sacrament; I think it was a great talk. Short and sweet. The elder's said I put them to sleep. . But what do they know!? Hahahaha just kidding. One cool thing. . http://mormon.org/me/3F2G/ShannonDurr/  We are starting to use Mormon.org for an awesome missionary tool. I invite you all to make a profile of you and then share it with your friends! It is a great way to get them to the website so they can start learning about the fullness of this true gospel and it will get them ready to be taught by the missionaries! DO IT AND YOUR COOL!!! I want to see everyone's profile next Monday!!!!!

Jathan is still good to be baptized on May 27. He is such a smart little kid! He is our only progressing gator right now, since everyone we were teaching is now baptized. A good thing but now we are back to finding! We- Sister Lima and I, and the ward members could use your prayers, so we can find those who are ready!

 Last Monday I forgot to tell you all something really cool. At our district bb-q that we had at a member's house by the Halifax river, there were DOLPHINS!!! IT WAS SOOOOOO COOOL!!!!!! Had to share! Zone Conference this past week was also sooooo cool! The spirit taught me things that I had forgotten about. Sister Lima and I have set goals to be better missionaries so we can see the miracles that are all around us! The trails and experiences are real, and Satan wants us to fail. But Heavenly Father has not sent us here to fail... that also applies to this earth life not just missionary work! WE CAN'T FAIL!!!!

 I love this work with all my heart! I know the Savior is real. He is our brother, our Savior and King!!! I hope you all remember Him and all that He has done for you!

Keep sharing the gospel- your testimony with everyone around you! Especially with each other! We are an eternal family. . we need to uplift each other and help each other and what a better way that to share our spiritual experiences and testimony with each other!!

 I love you all so much! Until next Monday. . keep your heads up, Keep smiling and WRITE ME!!!! (That should be easy now that there is only one missionary out!)

 All My Love!!
