I'm running out of movie quotes

Joseph's letter from August 19th

Hey Family,
                  This week has been alright. It has had its ups and downs. On Monday we we at Walmart shopping and one of our investigators texted us and said they were going to go to their moms baptist church instead of ours. We asked why and they said it was closer. Well we later found out that they just didn't have a testimony of the church and it's truthfulness and they lied to us about pretty much everything. It was really disappointing but we must keep trying. On Tuesday we helped a member move from Maraduke to Paragould it was long and hard. We only had a small truck and a few people. Then on Wednesday we went and did service in the morning for Bro Charles. After we finished with the service they fed us lunch. While we were eating Bro Charles was like "Oh I got to take my pills. See this is what happens when you get old and frail." I was like " you have to take pills?" He said "yes" and Elder Salisbury looked at me and was like "well I guess you are old and frail then". That evening we taught the young men the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was good and afterward, the young men leader taught us how he taught it on his mission. It is really good and it is visual and people like visuals. On Thursday we had zone conference. It was lots of fun and we talked about being a missionary and growing all the time. You learn things line upon line, precept upon precept. It was fun and it was good to be in Memphis again. That night we taught an awesome lesson to a part member family. Friday we helped a less active member move down in Brookland. It was fun and he took us to lunch after. Then we went up to Piggott and saw Garrett and Deidra. We had a good lesson with him then we went to Nicole's and taught Zephyer and Chance. It was a good day. On Saturday we went up to Piggott again and helped a member move some stuff to a storage shed then we saw Nicole and taught Zephyer and Chance again. Sunday was good. We had Zephyer and Chance come to church then that evening we went back up to Piggott and interviewed Zephyer for baptism. He and Chance should be getting baptized this weekend. 

                         That is about all I have to say. I did see a pic of G&G Talbert with Jimmy and Tiffany's kids on Sunday. It was cool to see them. I hope you all have a great week and a fun start to the school year. I love and pray for all of you.
