Dear Mother,
This past week has been busy and miracle. As a mission we set a "Rolling Three" goal. This is something that the General Authorities put out to missions to help them succeed their goals. We take a look at the investigators we have and decide how many we can get to baptism in the current month and in the next two months. We also do the same for how many we will find and baptize and how many we think the ward will bring in. This has been on the companionship level, but at the beginning of the year, Pres. Greer decided to do it as a mission. This month we had a goal of 55 baptisms; upto last week we had only 35. In the e-mail to the mission Pres. & Sis. Greer asked us all to pray in every prayer for our mission goal. We just got an e-mail this morning saying that we did it! Everyone has worked so hard in our mission and we were able to accomplish our goals. Now we have the goal of 50 for April and 64 for May. Pray for us!

Elder Rothwell and I were able to help in that goal and were able to help someone come into the waters of baptism. It was awesome! Our district had 3 baptisms this week! That has never been done before in this district! everyone is working hard, and I am grateful to be part of the work here in White Salmon and Stevenson. I would tell you about it now, but then I would have nothing to write to you in my letter! We also were blessed to find someone who is ready for the gospel. We met with him and were able to put him on-date in the first lesson. The work is really progressing. I love you and hope that you have a great week!

Love,
Elder Hamblin
