This week has been great. On Tuesday we had district meeting in Bartlett. It was good and about inviting people to come to church. After district meeting we went to see some people but we were on bike week so we ended up talking to a few people on the street. Then on Wednesday we went up to Wynn with the other elders and Brother Jones. Brother Jones is the Young men's president and loves to hunt and fish. Well we went up to Wynn and tried to see lots of less actives but no one was home. We did find that lots of them had moved and talked to a couple people that said we could come back and teach them. Then after we had got home we got a call from one of the less active members we tried to see. He said he was home and was sick so he didn't want to talk to us and get us sick. We then talked to him for a while and he said he would like us to come visit some time when he is not sick. On Thursday we went out and saw this lady named Sharron. She is really nice and was willing to help us out with anything. We are going to go by this week and teach her. We also talked to this lady named Amber. She is really nice too but was sick so we are hopefully going to be teaching her this week. That night we ate dinner at the Jones' house. Brother Jones is a good cook and made us stew. About halfway though the meal he told us that the stew was made with raccoon meat from a raccoon that he had killed. It was very good and tasted like roast beef. On Saturday we went to the Teeter's to help them paint. We painted one of the rooms in their house green. I was somehow assigned to do the upper trim. Because I know a lot of medical info people instantly assume I have steady hands and can do the hardest jobs. I was OK with doing the trim and it looked good when I was done. On Sunday we had a good talk on forgiveness and repentance. Then in Gospel principles the teacher, Brother Barnum, did an role play thing. He gave everyone slips of paper with a personality on it and he asked a bunch of questions. You had to answer the questions as if you were that person. As missionaries we didn't get slips because he ran out. But depending on how you answered the questions depended on whether or not you stayed on the straight and narrow. At the end if you had fallen off the straight and narrow the last question was will you repent. If you do you can go back on the straight and narrow. I thought it was a cool lesson on how we can make choices in life and its easier to choose the right first.
Well that's it for my week. I hope y'all have a great week and have fun. Thanks for all you do. I love and pray for y'all.
Elder Talbert
