Hey Family,
This week has been great! On Sunday (not yesterday, but the one before) we were in branch council talking about our investigators. We started talking about Doug (he is the one that was going on vacation for a month) and the sisters said they saw him the day before. We were like interesting, he was supposed to be gone. They explained he didn't go for some medical reasons. Well on Tuesday this week we went to go see Doug. He is doing good and ended up not going on vacation. On Wednesday we went up to the Donovan's. We talked with Bro Donovan ( who isn't a member) and then we started cooking dinner with Sean. After dinner was ready we ate and talked about church and we go on the topic of baptism. We talked with Bro Donovan about baptism and getting baptized. He doesn't wasn't to right now but he wasn't opposed to it either. He has made lots of progress. Slow progress but still progress. We went form their to a branch activity. Then on Thursday we had zone meeting. It was a lot different then other zone meetings. We talked about different problems or concerns we or investigators had and talked about them all zone meeting. We split off into groups and my group had being successful, Christlike attributes and accountability. They all tie in together. as we work on being more Christlike and keep ourselves accountable to that we are more successful and feel more successful. Saturday we met with Doug again and showed him the 20 min restoration video. He seemed to like it and it made him question what church was right. We then explained how reading the Book of Mormon and praying will tell him if our church is right or not. Then we went to Searcy for stake conference. We showed up at 4 but we didn't have a meeting till 7 so we blitzed the area along with like 20 other missionaries. It was cool to see. We then ate some food and went to stake conference. They talked a lot about reactivating members and new members. After the session we went and said hi to all our friends and talk with Pres Wakolo. I stopped and talked with Pres Griffin and he started talking about grandpa and told Pres Birkhimer and he remembered grandpa too. On Sunday we went to Batesville to stake conference and they talked about missionary work and how easy it is to share the gospel with those around you. It was a great stake conference. On the way home me and President Woods talked about how we can increase the baptisms in the branch. I told him about this sweet video called "missionary work and the atonement". I know its on you tube but you can find it though lds.org. Y'all should check it out.
That is about all for my week. Thanks for all you do. I love and pray for y'all every day. Have a great week.
Elder Talbert
