Good News!

Afternoon, friends and family.

There are a lot of big changes here in the Massachussetts Boston mission. One of which is we as missionaries now have permission to meet in the homes of our friends and members for lessons! Honestly, this was one of the biggest changes I was looking forward to before I go home. Along with those changes, we can have dinner with members as long as there is a non-member present. Some have mixed feelings with that, but why waste time complaining. With this increased sense of urgency, we may do street contacting only while we are on our way to appointments. We're getting close to the some bit of normality

Another large change is we will have a new mission president at the start of July. I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Sister Mavromatis to ask her thoughts of these coming changes. She said they havn't fully hit that realization yet. While in that conversation, I asked if we would stop by the mission home to see my painting that got fully framed and set. She happily and graciously allowed us to. I gotta say, it turned out pretty good, considering it was painted on the back of a white board with cheap acrylic paints.

A little update on the work, we have one friend (Lou) who is scheduled to have his baptism July 10th, and two others (Jackie & Illidio) who are very close to setting dates as well. Please include them in your prayers that all will go well and that they can attend church!

That's all I've got for this week. Thanks for the love and support.
