So this week has been one of a lot of finding. We are kind of starting our teaching pool over because we were starting to get a lot of non-progressing people we love them but we really felt we had to pause them for their own good. For the most part the rain has held up and we have had a pretty dry week but we are hearing that it will be coming in tonight and tomorrow... we don't get a car until Wednesday. 

So I have been having some problems with my leg for the last week. I called the mission nurse and she thinks that I may have strained it. She has me taking a lot of ibuprofen to try and help it. 

We had interviews with president this week... it sounds like I will be leaving this transfer but we are still not sure yet if I will or where I could be going. It looks as if it will be Memphis or Little Rock. But we will see. 

 Love y’all

It was a hard week for us.... and I am going to leave it at that.

we have been having non-stop rain for the last few days today is the first clear day but Wednesday it is going to get cold and wet again. Down to the 40's... not what you want to hear when you are going on bike week. 

We did some service this week for a member who lives about 40 miles out in the middle of nowhere.... we helped him set up his Ham radio (pictures I sent) it was a 50' pole with a 40' antenna thing on top No I have no idea how much he spent on it. 

Teaching has been going pretty slow it has been hard to find people lately and a lot of the people that we have been teaching are leaving or have left the city. Which makes things hard. We pray that things improve this coming week

One week to go before Klarissa is my only single sibling left... and scout and ranger if you want to count them.

So you wanted to know who I am teaching, so there is a guy named Westley K. who is really cool, his wife has diabetes really bad and so it is hard for her to come to church but he will come when he can. He showed me how to make real Kool-Aid; we are hoping he will show us how to make lemon-aid next.

Kim is a lady who we actually met through teaching her cousin. We set a date with her Kim.She is in little rock right now but should be coming back soon Her cousin Tiangela and Tiangela’s husband Justin just lost their child. This last week has been extremely hard on them and difficult to contact them. The funeral service was Sunday so we are hoping to get to visit with them. 

We are also teaching a few other people that come in and out. We have a Recent convert named Ja'Bre also He is about 17 and was baptized in October. 

This last week has been a hard one, We have been all over trying to pull things together to get a baptism but it is looking like we are going to have to push it back. Elder Tucker and I have had some crazy stuff happen, One day we just got a feeling we had to go see Justin and Chelsea and see how things were going.... we got to the door and we heard someone yell "Where are your Mormons now?" that is when we knocked... God tends to send us to places just in time every time. 

So we finally got word on the IPads.... they come in May, and anyone that is going home before November does not keep them. So in other words I will get an Ipad for one transfer of my mission and then will have to give it up.

love y’all

It was a cold week here in South West Arkansas; we have been walking which did not help. But I guess that is the work. 

We finally got the chance to see Jabre one of our resent converts and try to get him out to church. He said that he was going to come this coming Sunday so that is what we are praying for. We also got the chance to go out to a city called Nashville which is more north west of us and try to find some referrals that we got out there. We met a lady named Denise Hill who is really cool and we are hoping that we will get the chance to go and see her more when we get the car back tomorrow. I will also get to go on exchanges and leave the area for the first time in over 8 months. I will be going to Camden, AR. 

Hope y’all are having a good time we should be getting more snow Wednesday so I am hoping that y’all are getting some of the water too. Love ya
