Dear Family,

Spring has finally hit good old Palmyra, NY! It is a beautiful day outside and everything is so green! The trees are going to be budding soon which will be beautiful (I'll probably have to take a lot of allergy medicine, but who cares!) The only thing I don't like about spring here is that it smells like cow poop a lot of the time since everyone is getting the fields ready for planting. Ha ha.

Nothing too terribly exciting has happened this week. It's been a good week but kind of a weird one investigator wise. It seems like everyone has been too busy to see us so we've been doing a lot of finding... in the rain :) Ha ha it's A.O.K. though :) We met 15 new people yesterday and taught 5 lessons while tracting. Most of them weren't interested in learning more after that, but seeds planted, right? We met a couple of people that said we could come back but wouldn't set return appointments so we will just have to try again the next time we are in that area.

This past week I got to work at the Book of Mormon Publication Site three days in a row! Normally that doesn't happen but because of the exchange that happened, and I loved it. I don't really have a favorite site (it's hard to pick because I love them all) but I definitely always have great experiences at the BOMPS. On Sunday, I took two tours of people from New Zealand and one from Australia. Pretty neat, huh? One of the New Zealand tours was mixed with a group President brought in with a friend he knew growing up. It was a lot of fun to take President on tour because he was able to add so much! He always lets Sister Aiello and I talk first and then just built on the information we presented. I seriously feel so lucky to have him as my mission president. It's going to be sad to see him go, but I know I'll love President Francis too.

Anyway, sorry this is a super boring letter! I love you all so much! Thanks for all the love and support! Miss you tons, but the time is sure flying by! How is it the 17th of April?! Anyway, hope you have a great week!!!!!!!!!

Love,

Sister Butters
