Hey Family,
This week has been good. We have really focused this week on going though the ward roster and meeting all the less actives and part member families. We are really trying to get to know the ward better. Here in about a week we will be moving in with a member and they will be putting sisters in the apartment where we live now. Because they will be putting more sisters in Bartlett we will be over both wards. On Tuesday and Wednesday we went around and visited lots of part member families. On Thursday we had specializedTtaining. It was a fun but a long meeting. They really focused on being bold and not beating around the bush. They also focused on using the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is super important. It is the convincing evidence that what we are telling them is true. We have been asked to carry a Book of Mormon in our hand as we are walking around. I have really come to love the Book of Mormon as I have been reading it these last couple of weeks. Like I mentioned last time, I am reading the Book of Mormon in 30 days. Right now, I have about 26 pages a day to finish in the 30 days. It is a lot to read each day but it seems like when I sit down and read I get sucked in and don't want to put it down. I would extend the challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 30 days to anyone who would like. After specialized training we went to the Hill's. Right before we left we were told that Beckie's mom was going to be there and she had lots of questions. We went over and had been planning on teaching the Plan of Salvation. We first opened it up to any questions. We answered all the questions and Chris helped us teach and answer questions. We taught the plan of salvation because it goes over a little of everything. It was a really great lesson and by the end Beckie understood the Plan of Salvation better and her mom had more respect for us and the church. Saturday we went to some more less actives and Prat members. There were some children baptisms in the ward so we filled up the font and helped out with those. We had dinner with the Stake President and that was lots of fun. Sunday, church was great. They talked a lot about repentance.
That's about it for my week it was good but fairly boring. I hope y'all have a great week and fun at school and work. Thanks for all you do. I love and pray for y'all.
Elder Talbert
