So I will stay in Danville for another transfer. The lack of a call was a little hard on Elder Butler I think he wants to get going and see more of what the mission is like. It does not help that he has been here for his whole mission so far. This Sunday we had a member from the High Counsel come to speak and he did a very good job. He got lost on his way here and ended up about 25 miles past us and came in right before he had to speak but after the meeting he came and talked to me and Elder Butler and was trying to help us with our situation here in the branch. 

I would send pictures today but I don't have the stuff with me to hook up my camera to the computer. We hiked Petite Jean this week for p-day. It is a State park close to where we live. The fall here is one of the most beautiful times of year. It’s much nicer then the icy winters and sweltering humid summers. I will send some of the pictures next week. 

So in the month of November we are getting our P-day cut in half so it will only go until two. Our mission pres. wants us to focus on the goal of 100 baptisms in November so he asked us to shorten our p-days to do so.

So I have no Idea if I we are getting moved or not the date is the 22nd that we will find out so not until next Monday. We talked to the branch pres. yesterday and told him they might take the Spanish Elders out of Danville. We are both worried about the branch because they are very reliant on the missionaries. Maybe taking the Spanish missionaries out will shake the branch enough to help them see the need to work and pres. Marcellus is in accord with us. We said that if we are leaving we will go and focus our efforts on the members and helping the sisters get new and solid people to teach. We want to keep the branch from closing but sometimes we need to hit rock bottom before we can start building. 

Also would you be able to send me a copy of a talk I think it is on cd. It is the dead sea scrolls I think it is by Truman G Madson but I cannot remember. 

Love yall and you will have to tell Klarissa “Hi” for me. Get a cardboard cutout of Obama and put my face on it so I can welcome her at the airport.

You asked about Bednar’s talk we actually got an investigator there about 10 minutes before the talk started. We have been working with D from the time I got here and he has had missionaries coming for about the past year but has only come to church once so it was a positive for us. 

We are doing pretty well, it is going to be hard we are losing our car this week and we don't have a way to get to Conway this week for zone meeting there. Lack of transportation makes this missionary and his companion’s life difficult. Our senior couple the Hansen’s are leaving to go back home to St George this week. Thus because of that we got told by President Wakolo that if they don't get another senior couple they are going to take out one of the sets of missionaries, so both me and Elder Butler could be getting moved. We are thinking that they will take the Spanish Elders and not English Elders out. 

We will hopefully be baptizing this week but we will see how it goes. Her name is T she is from the Sisters. But we are hoping to get everything closed up this week. 

Love y’all
