This week has been great. Monday we hung out with the Musicks till dinner time. Then we went over to a family of 7 that recently got baptized and had family home evening. Then on Tuesday we went to Paragould for district meeting. It was good and they focused on how you need to teach with the spirit. People are converted by the spirit. After district meeting we returned to Pocahontas and went to go teach a family named the Lindsey's. Every time we go over there we start by answering their questions. Then we can teach them although they have been taught before so its more like a review for them. On Wednesday we went to go teach one of our investigators named Ray. Ray is a 22 year old that is going to be baptized on the 18th of this month. He needs to start obeying the Word of Wisdom but after that he is good. Then that evening we went and had a missionary meeting. It was good. After the missionary meeting we went and had family night and played apples to apples. I won!!.......once. Thursday we went to Walnut Ridge. We went and visited a few people, one of which was a less active member that used to work for Elvis Productions. She would go around and put on Elvis shows. One of the guys that worked with her was Elvis's cousin. It sounds like she had a really cool job. That evening we went to go and see some of our investigators named John, Jennifer, and Creanne. They are a family that should be getting baptized on the 25th of this month. They sill have a lot of progress to make though. Sunday we went to church and this week we had stake conference I think I have been to like 3 stake conferences since I have been on my mission. It was a multistake stake conference and it included like 63 stakes on the eastern half of the country. We had 4 speakers at stake conference. One of the seventy, the general primary president, Robert D Hales, and Dieter F Uchtdorf. It was really good.
That is about all that has happened this week. Now you have all asked me lots of questions so here are the answers. My doctor appointment has been changed to the 8th and I will be waking up around 4 AM in order to get there in time because the latest they could do it was 8 AM and I got my meds last Monday. My companion is from Highland, Utah. He has been out about 19 months and has been in Pocahontas since February. We never ride bikes but we could if we wanted to. The town is named after Pocahontas but I don't think she ever lived here so I have no idea why it is named Pocahontas. Last is Mothers day. I will be at the Musicks house when I call you so I can probably do face time and it will be around 5-6 our time. I will call you and let you know specifics around 4 our time. I do know you will be at church till 3 so I will call after that.
That is about it from me. Have a great week.
