This week has been good. It has been a fairly ordinary week. On Tuesday we had zone meeting. They talked about how we need to focus more on the fundamentals of the doctrine. The president told us at the zone meeting that we need to be BOLD in inviting investigators to keep commitments. BOLD is an acronym for "Because Of Love Diligently invite". The zone meeting was very good. Also on Tuesday we had an appointment with this family named the Bruces. The Mom is a member and the Dad is not a member and both the kids are not members. One of the kids named Derek is getting baptized next week (He is nine). That will be pretty exciting.
One of the members in the ward has started playing volleyball every Thursday. This past Thursday we went and played. I learned that I am really bad at volleyball. My companion however is so tall he can just put his hands in the air and block the ball. It was lots of fun and there were a couple of investigators there. This next week we should have more investigators there. On Thursday we had planed our day and the dinner appointment we had lived way out in the middle of no mans land. Well about 2 hours before the dinner appointment the Stevens ( the people we had dinner with) called us and said that the dinner was going to be at some other part members house because their son just got home from Afghanistan. It was supposed to be a surprise thing for him but he showed up earlier than expected. It was still lots of fun though.
Church was very good yesterday. However there were not very many people at church. I think it was because of the time change. Then after church we went to the Hot Springs Village for dinner. It was lots of fun and we had gumbo. I don't know if you have ever had it but it's rice with a spicy soupy stuff on it. It is OK. I think it is too spicy.
The movie quote this past week was G.I. Joe. I will try to make it easier for you guys. Thanks for all you guys do.
Love Elder Talbert
