I like that boulder, that is a nice boulder

Hey Family,
                   Happy Easter!! On Tuesday we had district meeting. It was on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We talked about the 5 principles of the gospel and how they are: to have faith, to repent, to be baptized, to get the Holy Ghost, and to endure to the end. Lots of people in the church only name the first four principles as stated in the Fourth Article of Faith. I think that the fifth is important because you have to keep trying no matter what. Later that evening Elder Jacobson got sick and started throwing up. It was not fun and for the next couple of days we still did missionary work but we took it easier and we drove the car when we were planing to ride bikes. I somehow did not get sick and am still amazed that I haven't gotten sick yet out here because it seems like every other week most of our investigators are sick. This week was the end of the month which means that we were out of miles because somehow we use up all our miles by the 3rdish week every month. We had planed to ride bikes but because Elder Jacobson was sick we walked everywhere. yesterday (Sunday) we were expecting to have lots of investigators at church. I don't know if its just a south thing, but everyone tries to go to church on Christmas and Easter. Well, we had no miles so we got a ride to church and we had some investigators there but not as many as we were expecting. We had two great talks on the Savior and the resurrection. Then for the last hour of church we had a meeting with all the adults. The bishop talked about how the Saints Unified Voices are coming and will be directed by Gladys Knight. It will be an awesome experience and I will tell you all about it in May when it happens. Then after church we were invited over to the ward mission leader's home to eat an Easter lunch/dinner thing. It was lots of fun but the eggs were not colored.
   
                     As for the movie quote, I was thinking of Lord of the Rings, but the Incredibles works just as good. I hope you all have a fun spring break. Thanks for all that you do for me.
                                Love Elder Talbert
