Life Saver

This week has been pretty sweet...we are doing this program called "ATM" which stands for Awake The Members. Basically we go to members houses and invite to pray to heavenly father and ask him if there is anyone he as prepared for you to invite to come unto christ. We talked to 11 families so far and we have alot more to go. We finally got some rain this friday and i was riding in it for about 2 hours...that was fun. By the way the following is my new mission address so if anbody wants to send me mail you have to use this one.(it's the one posted on the right)

Our mission president gave us a challenge on thrusday, he gave us a "life saver" piece of candy and told us to put it in our mouth before we said our personal prayer at night and to only pray for things you are grateful for and you can stop until the life saver dissolves. Also you can't chew it, so we did it and it took me about 11 mins to say my gratitude pray and it made me think of the things I am truly grateful in life and have greater appreciation. often when we say our prayers we generalize it by saying " I thank thee for this day" or "I thank thee for the blessings I've recieved" so its good to be speicific for the things you are truly grateful for.

Other than that this week was normal. We visited alot of investigators, we are getting the members here excited to do missionary work and we are always fed everynight by members which is awesome. My companion Elder F. (we aren't supposed to put Elders or new converts name in our blog post so just gave first initial) said he wants an "I love new york" t-shirt and a "new york yankees" hat so im going to find out what size he is and tell you later but if you, grandma or mom could get that and send it here i would be very grateful for that. Grandma said you were sick so i hope you feel better soon. I got to go play some basketball but tell everyone that love them. Also tell Kelly and Nicole that Elder Gagne and Elder Blanchard can email me but i can't email them back so i will have to write letters to them.

Love,
Elder Jacob DeMarco,
