12-14-06 Well, I have arrived in Washington safely. The MTC was good. They just taught you how to teach and stuff like that. I have gained a stronger testimony in the past month and a half. I love being on a mission! You are so close to your Heavenly Father, it is amazing. I love it! I have buried myself in the Book of Mormon and am almost finished with it. And I have never learned so much in my life. I have a firm testimony that this church is true and there is nothing anyone can tell me tho make me say otherwise. I know!!!! The work is going great. I have taught with the spirit and love it. He is my best friend. He is a very knowledgeable person. He has all the answers to any question. I am set to do my first baptism on Saturday 16 December. I have taught her all the lesions. She grew up Catholic, but--put it this way--she has always had the cake. Now she has the frosting too. Sh now has the Book of Mormon and she know it is true. She is being baptized on Saturday. She is a really neat lady. I love the people here, even the ones that don't care for me. If there is one thing I can tell you, it is to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and in all ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct they path. I know that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ. I love this gospel and would not be out here if it was not true. I wish the best to you all. Write me a letter some time--that would be great.

Dave? Why can't women hold the priesthood. Does it say in the scriptures?
