Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hey Family,

                  This week has been good. On Tuesday we had district meeting. It was good and we talked about using the Book of Mormon more in our teaching. I don't know how much you know but we recently got the 2013 Book of Mormon to give out so I have been comparing the old and the new. It's really cool to see the little changes they made to the introduction and the footnotes. Wednesday we walked around and talked with a few people on the street. We saw the Orey's while we were walking around and talked with them. We then went and saw the Orey's parents. That evening we had a meeting for the branch mission work. On Thursday we went with Gene Jones to deliver some couches out in Colt, AR. He is an investigator that has been investigating for about 2 years now. He comes to church and has read the Book of Mormon but I don't know why he is not baptized. He picked us up around 12 and we went to lunch. Then went to his house and got his truck and went and got the couches. We then went and drove to Colt. It is about 30 min away and still in our area. We then helped his aunt rearrange her whole house for the couches to fit. Then we drove home and had dinner with Gene and the other Elders. It was a fun day. On Saturday we woke up and went to the church for a service project of cleaning up the branches on the ground. We then went home and cooked some tacos and fried Oreos for a social we had at lunch. We then went to the social and it was lots of fun. we had good southern food and played some Mormon Family Feud. Later that day we saw Noland. On Sunday we went to church. Noland got called in to work so he couldn't come but we did have Delores there. She loved church and said she felt the spirit and wanted to come back. It was good to see that she really loved church. After church we went to the Russells. We ate at the Anderson's for dinner and had a good time talking about faith with them. 

                      That's about it for my week. Sounds like y'all had a great week. I hope that y'all have another good week and know I love and pray for y'all.
