Happy Valley

Joseph's letter from Sept 15

Hey Family,
                    On Monday we hung out and played some volleyball at the church. Then we went to dinner. On Tuesday we woke up early and went to the church to play more volleyball with the sisters. It was lots of fun. We walked around all day Tuesday and visited with some people. Then that night we played more volleyball with the ward. After volleyball I went with the Jacksonville elders to stay the night there. Wednesday morning we went to transfers. My comp was coming from the other side so I had to wait. We went to lunch and then hung out in the mission office till 6ish when they came back for the other side. We had transfers and my new comp is Elder Randall. He is from Provo Utah. I didn't know him before the mission but we used to be in the same stake so I probably knew of him. We know a lot of the same people from back home. Well after transfers we loaded all his stuff in our volkswagon jetta we are driving ( it's super nice) and went to dinner. After dinner we went to Pinnacle Mountain to spend the night. On Thursday I had a Dr. apt, everything looked good. Then we drove home and unpacked a little. Went shopping and that evening we went to Hardee's (it's the Carls Jr out here) with Pres Woods, Pres Balentine, and a new guy (I don't remember his name). On Friday we went to lunch with sister Hamilton. It was really good and we got to talk with her friend Carl about the gospel. We saw Doug later that day and he is doing good. He is the closest to baptism and we are really helping him get there. We had dinner with the Donovan's and sister Ellefson. Saturday we went to go see Donovan in the morning and had a good talk with him. We were able to talk to his girlfriend which is good since usually she gets mad that we are there but this time she was friendly. We also saw Jennifer and talked with her about the gospel a little. We went to Nash's parent's house and got some eggs from them. We then had dinner with the Matteson's and then went to go see the Donovan's. We had a good discussion with Bro Donovan about the gospel. It was a good day. On Sunday we went to church and the talks were on callings and honoring your calling and fulling your calling. I really think that we need to try our hardest at being the best in our calling. Even if it isn't the calling you want or you don't think you will be good at that calling the Lord has put you there for a reason and you need to do your best to figure out what that reason is. 

                 That is about it from me this week. It has been a fun and eventful week. I hope y'all have a great week and I will be praying for y'all. Thanks for all you do.
Love Elder Talbert
