Elder Nathan Steed: Email received May 12, 2014

Hello!
Yes, Mother's day skype was great! Thanks! It was good to see all your wonderful faces! I'm glad that you didn't think the haircut was too bad. It has grown quite a bit so you didn't see the worst of it haha. I'm also glad that you enjoyed the pictures of Elder Pongi and I. We are good buds!
My new companion is Elder Neville. He is from France. He has an awesome French accent. Sometimes it's a good finding tool :) haha. We are getting along great. He's a complete goof. He is a really good missionary as well. We are having a lot of fun.
Church yesterday was pretty good. In my new area we cover 2 wards and both of them are about the size of Desert Inn ward. It'll take a long time to remember everyone's names haha. In The Woodlands 1st ward we were asked to speak in relief society. After sacrament, all the women in the church 12 and older went to a special 2 hour long meeting for Mother's day. We were asked to give a talk on how our mothers have helped us become converted to Christ and His gospel.
Well, not sure what Elder Neville and I did, but they loved it. There was multiple teary-eyed women and tons of center pieces. I was relieved when we walked out haha jk :) We pulled a genius move though. After giving those talks and melting their hearts, we passed around the dinner calendar and BAM. It got completely full! hahaha. After those talks, we were asked to talk to the primary children for 20 minutes for both junior and senior primary. Well, in order for all the women to be able to go to that special meeting, the men took over for primary. Primary with no women. It was interesting. hahaha. It must be divine inspiration for women to be in charge of primary, or maybe just common sense. who knows :)
Finding here is pretty hard. Most people have all that they think they need. They have all they need temporally. Fortunately, most people are still very friendly. The members here are GOLDEN. They invite us to dinner and bring non member friends. it's great. Finding here is pretty hard, but there are lovely people here. We have about 3 or 4 investigators who have member friends to fellowship them. Well, That's all I can think of right now. Still not completely sure what this area is like. I'll have more to talk about next week. I love you all so much! have a great week!

love,
Elder Steed
