Hey Family,

                  This week has been great. Not much has happened this week. I went on exchanges and we had specialized training and we went to Forrest City. 

                   So on Tuesday we went on exchanges. I stayed in West Memphis with Elder Bell and Elder Oveson went on Exchanges with Elder Schut in Lakeland. We went around and tried to see lots of people but no one was home so we ended up talking to lots of people on the streets. It was lots of fun and we found lots of people that told us we could come back. That evening we went to the Teeter's. It was really fun and Sister Teeter had tons on M&Ms because she got them for 22 cents. She gave each of us a bag. We then told them they needed to come to church. They said they would but then on Sunday they didn't. Then  the next day we had specialized training. During specialized training we learned about how to invite people out to church. We also talked about how to overcome concerns about church and using your time wisely. It was very good and I learned a lot. Then on Saturday we went to Forrest City to teach a lesson to Noland. He loves the discussions and really enjoys the gospel. We tried to set a date with him but he wants to wait for his girlfriend out in Utah to be there. Forrest City is about 30 miles away and is a small town. It was fun to go out there and see Forrest City.

                  Well that's about it for me. Sorry this letter has been short but the library was closed and the internet at the church was down today. I have emailed at the Wall's and the Teeter's. Sorry for it coming so late. Hope y'all have a great week and know I always pray for y'all.
