hey Pumba not in front of the kids.............. oh sorry

Hey Family
                First off, thanks for taking care of those doctor things for me because they were making me frustrated, also your package has arrived and I liked the candy and the addresses. I will attach pictures here at the end of the email.

               My week has been great. On Monday it was Elder Jacobson's Birthday so we went out to eat for lunch and for dinner. We also went to the gangster museum  It was cool to learn about the gangsters and all the illegal activity that Hot Springs is famous for. Al Capone had a pretty sweet car. It was green and bullet proof. Also there are underground tunnels under Central Avenue. Oaklawn (the race track and the casino) is open right now and traffic has been crazy. There are people from everywhere here to see the races. Gambling is still illegal here in Hot Springs so gambling is referred to as skilled gaming. On Wednesday we had our mission tour. Elder Kopischke from the 70 came and taught us. He said that a person can only teach what they already know and you can only teach people what they are ready to hear. It was a great conference and it was cool to be taught by a member of the 70. We are currently teaching this guy named Paul. We have taught him everything and he is ready to be baptized but he needs to come to church first but he works every Sunday. We are also teaching this lady named Mallory. She has a family of 6 but we have only been able to teach her. She wants to come to church which is awesome. Yesterday we went and taught this lady for the first time and she said that when she was 18 she was baptized 68 times that year because her mom wanted to get the devil out of her. It has been a pretty crazy week.

                                                                                                   Love Elder Talbert
