This week in the life of elder Ludwig,

It was a pretty normal week. We had lots of exchanges with the other Elders. I feel like I spent more time in other areas then I have my own area this week.  This Saturday we are going out to downtown Memphis for the Latino festival. The East Elder’s should be having two baptisms, which is long needed for the branch. We are working hard to find new people to teach and we have had a lot of help from the members in teaching tonight we are going over to a member named Sister Hunts for a FHE with some of our investigators. We are hoping that they will be able to come and all will be well.

Love y’all

This week has been a stressful one. They want to move us to a new location. Down to the middle of Memphis close to the University we are still waiting on everything to go though. So it may not happen for some time. 

We are working with some cool people and have had to do a lot of walking because we did not have a car this week... so it was a lot of finding new people and trying to see the people that we have met before. Enrique and Angelica are some of the coolest that we have. She is from El Salvador and He is from Mexico, the want to be baptized but they need to work out the marriage stuff first. But the other Elders that share the area with us (Henderson and Heaton) should baptize this week end. This is the First time that I have been close to Henderson sense the time that I left the MTC. To the look of it we could die next to each other. Love y’all

Kevin Says he likes his "dogs shaking" calendar better than this one.

So I am back in Memphis

2481 Crescent Glen #211
Memphis, TN 38133

I am with Elder Geddes who is also from Utah. I am working in the North part of Memphis so yes I am actually in the Cordova area I am in Sean's Church building right now. The only problem is that I am in the Spanish branch and we don't really work in Cordova because it is a pretty rich part of town and there are not that many Hispanics there. 

This is the first time in my mission that I have been close to the same area as Elder Henderson My MTC companion. It is strange to be back here. Yesterday at church it was cool to see that some of the members still remember me. There are a few new people and some of the old members have left, or changed to the English wards. 

You asked what I wanted for my birthday. I think it would be best just to wait until I get home so I can have something to wear. My jeans are almost dead and I have worn my Ragnar shirts every p-day for the last 2 years. Some nice clothing would be good. 

Hope y’all are doing well. Love ya

So Sunday Morning.... we got the call. Yes I will be leaving Hope this Wednesday. It has been a long hard run but it has been something that I will not forget... It looks like I could be going to Little Rock or Batesville. I am hoping for Little Rock so that I can stay Spanish and not have to worry about teaching English. Not a bad week end for us we have been working hard to get new people to teach and to get members with us. The Milton’s the senior couple in Hope has been a huge help in trying to do that.... because they are the members that we can get to help us. I got a Hunting Bow! We were doing some service for a member building a porch and he had an old hunting bow hanging up. I asked if he did bow hunting. He told me no and that someone had given it to him so he gave it to me... I have no idea how to get it home but I guess I have a bow now... 

Also I got to learn how to steam a floor... it was a really bad floor trust me. But we have had a lot of good times.

So a sad day has come... Sister Peterson, Goudie, and Elder Meyers are going home. Strange that I can recall when the sisters came out. 

Happy day the sealing power was restored in our dispensation!
