Dear President Weight,
Thank you for these great news!
I remember well your statement: "All we need is faith in Jesus Christ..."
Now you and we can enjoy the fruits of your faith.
This is a confirmation that this is the age group where missionary success will be achieved.
Last week I was in Finland. The wife of the Tempel president joined the Church with 18, the wife of one stake president with 20, of the other stake president with 20, a stake president with 23, I with 23. What a joy to imagine what can happen in the countries of your mission.
We will use this as an example, when we will meet with the new mission presidents this weekend.
Thank you for sharing it.

Dear Elder and Sister Ahlborn,
Just wanted to send a short note letting you know of great things that are happening in this mission.
It is because we have focussed on the YSA this past year with Institute Class and with the Institute Outreach Centers.
Did you know that we just had our 8th Marriage of YSA Couples this past week?
Seven are from Croatia ( one of the wifes is however from Serbia and with another one of the couples the wife is from Slovenia ) and one marriage is from Serbia. There are two more weddings that will happen soon. One in Slovenia and one in Serbia. All of these have already been to the temple or will make it to the temple when membership has been one year for one of the spouses.
We also have two youngmen on fulltime missions. A third has his call and will go on the 8th August. Papers have been sent in on two more ( an Elder from Slovenia and a Sister from Croatia ). We also have papers being filled out this week by another Elder from Slovenia and an Elder from Serbia. That will give us seven fulltime missionaries from this mission and all three countries are represented. We are trying to prepare more also before the year is over.
Can you imagine the long term blessing of strength these temple marriages in all three countries and missionaries from all three countries will be for the church in this part of the vineyard? It will be great. Thank you for the training support and the financial support. It is making a big difference to the saints here.
I can only imagine the Primary Classes in five to ten years from now. Elder and Sister Lunt also are making a big difference. They travel the mission and have really connected with the youth and they have really helped the Senior Couples learn their duty in the Branches and the Institute Outreach Centers. We love and appreciate all of the support.
President Weight
