This week has been good and busy. On Monday we went to the park and hung out with the Pocahontas Elders and Brianna and Zac and Ray. It was lots of fun. We played Basketball and four square. We then went and had dinner at one of the members and had FHE with them. Jerry was there and so we taught him a little about the Book of Mormon and then we played card games. I was really good at them. On Tuesday we had district meeting. After district meeting we went on exchanges and Elder Davis and I went to Blythville. Elder Salisbury and Elder Holmgren stayed in Paragould so Elder Holmgren could interview Tamra. We went to the church because president was going to be there to interview some people but they didn't show so we went to their house to see what was up. They had been told by their landlord to move out that day so they were moving. We went and told president they weren't coming and then we helped them move for the next 4 hours. On Wednesday we went and exchanged back then we went up to Pigget and Rector to visit some people. We went to a recent convert's named Mark and hung out and taught his family. Thursday we went to the Charles for the day. Tamra came with us. We went and hung out and had a BBQ. We then shot off 5 cannons that Bro Charles and his sons had made. (I will send pictures).

That evening we ate watermelon and sat in our apartment and watched the fireworks. It was good but fairly boring for a firework show. Friday was Tamra's B-day. We visited some people in the morning, then in the evening had a party for Tamra. We mostly sat around and talked but we also played some games and ate some cake. It was lots of fun. Saturday we went up to Rector and Pigget. We went to Nicole's and had dinner and taught her cousin and husband. It was our second time teaching her cousin and he had already read to chapter 15. Which is awesome for a newer investigator. Now we just need him to come to church. Sunday was fast and testimony. It was really good and there was a baby blessing we participated in. It was for Jeff and Amy Charles' baby. That is Bro Charles son and his wife. Second hour we taught like usual. Then we were also asked to teach priesthood. It was on the Word of Wisdom and there was no manual/ lesson for the week so we had to make it up. We just taught like we would teach an investigator but a little more advanced. It was a good lesson and I wasn't nervous while teaching. That evening we shared Bill Carpenter's conversion story with Tamra and we have been pushing for her to get baptized soon. After the talk was over she said she wanted to get baptized this week so we will have her baptism this upcoming Saturday. It will be awesome.
That is about it for the week. I hope all have fun in Oregon and that dad and Nathaniel have fun. Know that I love and pray for you all. Have a great week.
Love Elder Talbert
