We talked to Caprice while we were on our teip in Austin,TX. She and her two companioms had a weird run-in with some priest ministers that were bashing the sisters' beliefs. The priests were purposely being argumentative which Caprice was irritated and disappointed by. But they also had success wirh a cute older man that treats them kindly and loves the B of M so much, he hugs and kisses it. Caprice is learning that although many are not open to hear the gospel , she is planting a seed in their hearts. Here are some pics from a conference they just had.

Caprice called me for Mother's Day! I'm so glad missionaries get to call their mom's on this day! She said she wrote me an actial letter but I didn't get it in the mail in time... sad! A couple parents in the ward were asked to speak about their missionaries so I talked about Caprice's recent email we received titled " Pink Trees". I talked about how much she loves spring and the flowers blossoming on the trees and all the cute wildlife in Indiana. I told the congregation that spring has always been her favorite season and now she gets to experience all of God's beautiful creations in Indiana! I also shared an excerpt from her email about an older investigator named Tim, who has read the Book of Mormon and loves it. Caprice said that they are finding about 2-3 people per day to teach thriugh tracting! Shw told me her biggest dissapointments are when the people they teach don't show up for church or their appointments with them. She is a litt

She said that her area has strong missionaries in it and needs them because there is continuou, constant work to be done!
