Letter from Mark 20 March 2006

Dear Family,

This week has been good, on saturday chuck McCullick ( a less Active member) and Liz Anderson( an investigator) got married. that was great to see. Liz still smokes, and is pregnant, so she has been told to cut down slowly, but be careful quitting because the baby could suffer from withdrawls. she has cut back on smoking a bunch, it will probably be a while before she can be baptized, but they are making steps in the right direction.

The last few weeks we have been getting about 40 people at sacrament meetng, and close to 50 one week, if they average 40 this month they can buy land to build a building on, so far I think they are doing it, attendance is slowly going up, the branch here is getting very excited and wants a building bady. general conference will be interesting, our building can supposedly get audio, but we have to go to platteville to watch it, we are trying to get it approved to stay the night there saturday night to save us miles and so we can watch all 10 hours.

my companion and I spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday, we both spoke for 20 min on teaching by the spirit, it went well. I spoke first, I was glad about that because i wasn't sure i would take 20 min, but i eneded up speaking almost exactly 20 min. so it went well. Elder stahl ended up cutting a few stories to keep his to 20 min. he was planning to do that anyway though.

Elder Stahl and i have been doing a lot better this week, he started getting up at 6:30 (he usually was in bed till about 7:30.) he has said that he has not been able to get to sleep after i get up, and i think the fact that it is lighter outside in the mornings now is heling him get up, it has made it a lot easier for me in the mornings.

It dropped a few inches of very wet snow earlier in the week, but most of it is melted now, it has been slowly warming up, and i don't think it will snow much if at all.

Thank you all for the support that you give me, i appreciate your prayers, and have been praying for you. I love you all.

Elder Lundberg
