Sorry, scrambling like usual this week, only news is we had an awesome investigator named Laura come to Institute on Wednesday and Church on Sunday. She is a young uni student and is very keen on reading the Book of Mormon and coming to Church. She is awesome. I have a feeling that she will be baptized. She is truly a prepared person. That's mostly what happened this week. Thanks for the emails everyone! I always love getting them. Have a great week! The book is blue, and it is true!
Love,
Elder Devin Hunter,

Dear everyone,
Surprisingly, this week I have 23 minutes from this moment to write this letter... which is a strange but welcome surprise.
This week we had some surprising success - Elijah, our new investigator from Nigeria, says he is Pentecostal but is not like other Christians - he believes there are other inspired writings out there besides the Bible, like the Dead Sea Scrolls, he mentioned the Talmud, other ''gospels'', etc. and he believes the Book of Mormon could be one of them. He has read the Introduction and the Testimonies in the beginning, and he finds it all very interesting.
Laura, a young university student, kept her return appointment and we taught her about the Book of Mormon in the hallway. She is from a Church of Scotland family, but stopped attending when she came out for Uni. She is eager to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know if it is true. She is very humble, and I know the Lord has prepared her for this time to come into the fold.
We also have a new investigator named Peter who is a referral we received from the Whitehall elders. He says he read the Bible twice while in prison, and wants to become a Mormon. He's separated and has 4 kids, two boys and two girls. He seems to be kind of a bit slowed from previous addictions, but he is very genuine and we can have a very intelligent conversation with him. He loves helping disabled people, whether mentally or physically, and he is a really good guy. He has an American bulldog named chaddeus or something like that. :)
We also got move's call and... I'm staying in Bridge of Don! Woohoo! Sister Pugh is leaving the ward though, and Sister Condie is training a new missionary. My friend from back home, now Sister Turner, is coming into the mission... so I hope we get her! Or maybe Sister Solum, another sister in the Aberdeen district, will be able to train her instead. Well, that's all this week! I know God is mindful of us, and gives us our agency not only so we can make mistakes, but also so we can do much good as well!!! :) I love you all!
Love,

Dear Everyone,
This week was pretty good - despite stomach problems Elder Johnson and I worked hard and met and even passed some of our weekly goals. I thought we were doing poorly, but we did everything we could to get members out to joint teaches, and we had 4. Success!!! We also had 3 new investigators. One is a cool african pentecostal named Elijah who believes the Book of Mormon could be true. Another is a years ago former investigator named Jim who wants to start investigating the Church again. He called us randomly and said he was coming to Church, so he did. It was awesome! Plus,1 of our our ward missionary, brother Albiston, is fantastic at coming out and volunteering and is a fearless missionary. Bridge of Don is good. Sorry it's short again, but family seems to take up all the time.
Love,
Elder Hunter

Dear everyone,
This week wasn't super eventful, but good nonetheless. We met a new investigator named Annick who is very good at keeping commitments so far, and is a very good listener and observer. She has read a bit of the Book of Mormon already, and the Restoration leaflet she read all the way through too! :) She is a bit shy and has had rough and dodgy experiences in the past, but some of them have actually prepared her for this experience. She is so good.
We also worked at Billy's farm this week, and helped herd his sheep. Then, when they were all caught, we had to divide the males from the females. We had to scare them into a narrow 2 foot wide or so gate and tunnel to seperate them, and I got to pick one up and drop it over the fence, and they bucked around a lot and put up a good fight. I even wrestled a bucking ewe to the ground. I felt so alive afterwards. I know I would have loved farm life... actually I speak too soon. But I might still love it. Well, that's all for this week. I know the Church is true!
Love,
