Not a lot to report this week. All is well in Memphis; we are working and now are starting people progressing. The members are working more with us now that we are a little more established in the area and we are even starting to get some members that are giving us referrals. Sunday they 2 minutes before sacrament meeting started they asked me to give my "farewell" because one of the speakers did not show up. Henderson will be doing his next week. My last district meeting will be this Tuesday. After that I will be on exchanges until Friday. So this next week is going to be a busy one. But we are hoping we can baptize Josefina, who has been investigating for some time now, and the sisters investigator Neftali has asked that I would baptize him this Saturday Which is my last P-day in the mission. I pray that is all goes well and that everyone is doing well. 

I will see ya when I see ya.

So the story of the week. I was walking out of the sacrament meeting this week I looked over at the glass doors that lead into the church and saw a drunken man walk in. Next thing I know I am leading a drunk man though gospel principles. It was an experience needless to say we do not reject any to come among us. But we got Miguel out (our imposable to find investigator) that was a small and he is coming to church but lives with JWs so we can’t see him. And Josefina who lives with super strong Catholics who don't want us to come over. But I guess that is the work. We are hoping that one of them will be able to be baptized this month before I go. We spent the day at the Memphis zoo which was sweet. I will show y’all the pictures when I get home. 

Kapishka was really good. On the way back on the bus some missionaries set a date with the driver and then we had a short testimony meeting it was a very good experience. I hope it goes good. 

Love yall.

The people we have been working with have not been as committed as we would like. We ask them to come to church with us and they say yes, but sometimes yes means maybe or not so much. But we did get 3 people to church. We also hit our goal with our district and had four baptisms in May.

So the  ipads are here and have been handed out finally. Everyone but Elder Henderson and I have them in my district. They have been telling us we would get them for over a year now, so we have been really excited about it. Now that they have finally gotten them handed out I’m in my last transfer along with a few other Elders so we won’t be issued one. 

President Wakolo came to the Spanish branch this last Sunday. He wants to start to learn Spanish. Then we had a brake the fast as a branch. 

So this Friday we will all be going off to little Rock again. Elder Kapishka is coming to the mission again and they chose to move everyone over the river for it so we will be taking another long bus ride over the river. I don't think we will be getting back until around 8:00 that night. Yet it should be a good meeting. 

Not much more to report. Love y’all

More than anything this week was exhausting. I feel like God just wants to make sure I stay on my toes and so he keeps sending more and more stuff for me to work with. This week we have been on bikes, and trying to find some of the old investigators. Wednesday, we drove to Little Rock and had a mission wide meeting. Elder Zwick and he talked about the iPad’s that the missionaries will be getting next week on Thursday (I will not be getting one since I am going home so soon). It is still sad that I don't get to keep mine but I feel like I am getting over it. 

2 baptisms in the branch which means my district hit its' goal!   I am praying that we will get the chance to baptize this month and that we can hit our goal again for my last month. 

This week for us has been mostly finding. I have been trying to show Elder Fortie how to get around, when at the same time trying to find the people that the other Elders had been teaching which I am finding is much harder than I thought. We did get a referral from the church offices we are praying that it will turn out cool. But I guess more on that next week. Sorry not a lot more to tell y’all.
