May 20th, 2019 Letter #80

At the end of the day I don't think I'll have much time to write this week, but as I read through the email I noticed that we already talked about a couple of those things. 

Elder Merrill is from Idaho Falls. 

I have actually listened to that very talk several times during my mission including once this week. It's definitely a good message for me as a missionary, but also for anyone and everyone. (Then Jesus Beholding Him, Loved Him by S. Mark Palmer Conference talk from 2017)

One of our investigator families will hopefully be getting married this coming Saturday. So that will help them progress towards baptism. 

All of the District Leaders in the zone are on their last transfer so hopefully they will be of a mind set to finish strong. There is a lot of energy in the missionaries with this change and Connor is hoping that he and Elder Merrill will be able to help them channel it for good. There are 3 white washed areas and he is hoping that that will also be a good thing for those particular missionaries working in them. 

Connor and Elder Merrill are headed to Leadership Conference in Xalapa and have left some important things for the missionaries to do while they are away. 

Thanks for the support!

Love, Elder Finlinson
