Letter from November 25

Hey Family,

                  This week has been good. We went to Bartlett on Monday and dropped Elder Anderson off at the temple. From there we took some pics and Elder Oveson, Elder North and I went to the library to email. When we had finished emailing we went back to the temple and took more pics and said goodbye to Elder Anderson. We then went shopping and to Lakeland to play some games at the Longshore's. We stayed at their house till around 5 then we headed back to West Memphis's.

This is us at the Longshore's home. (he is the bishop in Lakeland and the Lakeland Elders live there.)

 We had dinner and went to the Orey's to give some gifts that Elder Anderson wanted to give them. Then on Tuesday, because Elder North was still with us, we really covered both areas. We contacted this referral named Sharon. She was really cool and wanted some Bibles. We taught her the restoration and gave her  Book Of Mormon. We are going back this week to give her a Bible and teach her more. It was strange to be in a tripanionship but it worked well. Wednesday we went to Bartlett again for transfers. Neither of us were getting transferred, we just needed to go get Elder North's new companion. Elder North's new companion is named Elder Morgan. He has been out for 23 months and goes home on the 31st of December. We got back from transfers in time for dinner so we went ther,e then we went to the church to help set up for the branch Thanksgiving dinner. On Thursday we saw this investigator of ours named Nilean and her nephew Jay Shawn. We taught them the Plan of Salvation and they really like learning the Gospel and want to come to church. Friday we did lots of walking, lots of talking and no results. We have been on bike week so we walked a lot but its good exercise. On Saturday we contacted this referral and it was a less active member that wanted to know where the church was. We told her and invited her to church but she didn't come so we are going to invite her again this week. That evening was the branch Thanksgiving dinner it was good and fun. On Sunday we went to church and it was the Primary program. It was very good and fun like they always are. In priesthood we learned about doing home teaching. 

 That has been it for my week. It has been a good week and it sound like you guys have had a good week too. Have a happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all the birthday wishes. It should be a good one. 

Elder Talbert
