With great power comes great responsibility

Hey Family,
                  This week was awesome. On Tuesday we had zone meeting in Little Rock. After zone meeting we went on exchanges with the zone leaders. I stayed in Little Rock while Elder Jacobson and Elder Stewart went back to Hot Springs. While I was in Little Rock we visited lots of their investigators and I learned better how to know when an investigator is making progress and when they need to be put on the pause button. Wednesday morning we received a call from president and he was asking how to get into the gate the apartment complex was in. We let him in and he taught us how to plan better and how to make sure we can achieve the goals we set and still have them stretch us. It was a good exchange were I learned a lot and it was lots of fun. On Thursday we went to go and see this family named the McFadden's. The 10 year old girl got interviewed for baptism on the exchanges. That evening we had volleyball and our investigator named Edger came. I think that playing volleyball has really helped him be excited about church and have the desire to be baptized. He wants to be baptized in May around his birthday. Friday we set up for a wedding. It reminded me so much of setting up for Kent's wedding because they had the reception at the church. The wedding took place on Saturday evening and the reception was right after. The girl is a member but the guy is not and at the wedding, the guy asked us to teach him the discussions. The wedding was nice and the reception was also good. After we helped clean up. Sunday was fast and testimony. I did not get up because their was at least 2-3 people up there the whole time. At one point there was about 8 people on the stage in line. It was still very good. We also had lots of investigators and less actives to church. One of the less actives that came is Josh. Josh was baptized when he was 8 and went till he was 10. Now he is 25 and came to church for the first time in 15 years. Right after church we had a baptism for Lauren McFadden. She is the 10 year old that got interviewed this Tuesday. It was a great baptism. It has been a great week.
 
                  A couple of side notes. First I have not heard anything from the doctor. Second where are the Keeles moving too? Third who did Tyler marry? Last Heather keep practicing your southern accent and we will have a competition to see who's better.
 
                  Thanks for everything you do. I love and pray for all of you guys. Have a great week.
