Hey Family,
This week has been great! On Monday we drove up to this members house named the Jensen's. The go to Ashflat branch but live in our boundaries. Because of the highway they would have to take to get to Mountain View they got permission to go to Ashflat. We played some games with them and their family. It was lots of fun. We are going to go up there again probably next week and they are going to try and get the Ashflat missionaries to come over. Ashflat is not in our mission but the missionaries got permission form their mission president to got to the Jensen's house. So that should be fun. On Tuesday we had district meeting. It was on using the scriptures to answer peoples concerns. We played a game where Elder Bell ( the district leader) read off the some common concerns or questions that people have about the gospel and we had to answer them using scriptures. They were all taken out of Preach My Gospel and he had been asking us to study them for a while now. Well I won the game with 7 of the 10 points. It was fun. After district meeting we had lunch and then went to see Doug. He wasn't there so we went to Walmart to grab a few thing we needed for dinner. We saw Doug and talked with him. We had both wrote down different times for the appointment. We rescheduled for later that day and went over the plan of salvation with him. On Wednesday we went to the church to talk with Sean because him and his mom were supposed to be working the family history center. Well we get there and the Balentines are there instead. We talk with them for a little and talk about home teaching and get a better branch roster. We then went up to Melbourne to Bro Stevens for dinner. We had a great dinner with him and his wife. This weekend there has been a bike rally going on so on Friday and Saturday we walked around a lot and talked with people while we looked at the cool bikes that were there. On Saturday night we went to the Matteson's for dinner. They had invited over the Longs as well. The Longs are a less active family that lives near the Matteson's. It was good to meet them and get to know them. Went to the Donovan's because they live next door. Sunday the talks were on family history work. It was all about how we do family history work and why it is important. Then in gospel principles we taught about the gathering of Isreal we taught young men's and that was on the gospel of Jesus Christ. After church we had potluck and then went out teaching with Sean.
Well that's about from me it sounds like y'all had a good week. When do y'all officially start school? I know here they started today. Have a great week!
Love Elder Talbert
