One Year

Hey Family,
                     This week has been good and full of fun events. On Tuesday we went to district meeting in Bartlett. It was good and about talking to everyone. We then came back to West Memphis and dropped off the other Elders because they are on bike week. We went up to this town called Sunset. It is a fairly sketchy town and and it is very small (pop 300ish). We have some investigators up there we went to go see. We got in with one and taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ. She had lots of questions about why she needed to be baptized again so we answered those. We then went to go see some others but they were busy and told us to come by tomorrow (Wednesday). We then went to one of our investigators named Nilean. I think I have mentioned her before. Well we went to her house and she was glad to see us. She told us the appointment we had on Saturday with her wouldn't work. We then shared some scriptures with her and invited her out to church. On Wednesday we drove to Midtown in the morning because the other Elders were on exchanges and needed to exchange back. We then went back to Sunset and taught a lady named Janette. We are hoping to go back this week and talk to her more. That night we went to YM/YW and played volleyball. We stayed over at the other Elders that night. The next day we got up and I opened my B-day gifts from you guys. They were all very cool and I was excited to get them, thanks. Then we went up to Marion because Elder Oveson and I had an appointment. We went to Dankeiya's house and taught her about the Book of Mormon and a little about the Restoration. Then that night we went to the Orey's parents' house for Thanksgiving. It was very good and they knew it was my B-day so they made me a cake. It was very fun and we had a ugly tie contest and I won  I will send a pic and you can vote). We stayed there for the rest of the night. It was a fun day and a great B-day. Friday was boring because everyone was tired from Black Friday shopping or they were Black Friday shopping. Then on Saturday we went up to Crawfordsville to see a less active member named Mae and had a good talk with her and shared some scriptures with her. Then we went to another less active member named McKenzie and invited her out to church. We tried to see a few others but no one was home. Sunday was fast and testimony Sunday. It was very good and McKenzie came to church towards the end of sacrament and stayed for the rest of church. In Priesthood we talked all about how we need to keep moving forward and never give up if we fall or make a mistake. After church we had a break the fast potluck thing. We then went to go see Nilean but she wasn't home. For dinner we were invited to a members named the Houstens. They were having a big family get together. It was fun and it was like a Thanksgiving dinner so that was awesome.
 
                   That's about it for my week. It has been good and fun. It sounds like y'all had a great week and lots of fun playing Minecraft and partying. Thanks for all the B-day wishes and I hope y'all have a great week.
                                                                                   Love Elder Talbert
