Hey y'all!!!
So, I am finally sending some pictures from our recent baptisms. I have been slacking on the pictures, Lo Siento. This week was pretty awesome. I was able to go down to Monticello on an exchange with Elder Weight, it was a lot of fun, we were able to get a lot of good work done including setting a couple of dates with two girls they have been teaching. We also were able to set a date with Lenora, who is an awesome lady we have been teaching for a couple weeks. She is getting baptized on the 10th! so I should have a baptism my last week!!
So, on Saturday we first went and took the Benton Elders to their ward Halloween party because they didn't have a car, it was a lot of fun. We played some football and some horseshoes. (turns out I can throw the shoes with the best of em!!!) then we went to our wards Halloween festival and we dressed up as Tongan Missionaries, threw on some Lava Lava's and flip flops. Most people thought it was pretty awesome, but we think a couple people didn't know about missionaries get up's there and just thought we were cross dressing. haha
This morning we woke up a little early and hiked to the top of Pinacle Mountain, which is more of a hill. It was fun and was a great view.
Thanks for all that y'all do!!
Love ya!

Hey y'all,
We had us a couple baptisms this week, it was awesome... Sharon Phillips and Isaiah Smith were both baptized and it went great. We had like 50 people there, including President Peterson. I don't know if I told you about Sharon, but her husband and entire family joined the church two or three years ago. She has been through who knows how many sets of missionaries. I was talking to one of the AP's who earlier in his mission had served in Maple Street and had tried to teach her. Basically she wouldn't give the missionaries the time of day, but God kept working on her. It was awesome to finally see the last piece of their family come together, it will be awesome for them to finally be able to go to the Temple in a year. Isaiah is an awesome kid too. On Sunday during Sunday school, his dad, Lloyd, who has been coming to church and investigating for years told everyone he was trying to get baptized soon. Hopefully we can get him in in the next couple of weeks.
We had Zone conference this week and because it was the last one of my mission I gave my departing testimony. It was pretty surreal, I can't believe it has gone so fast. But that's all I will say about that because I still have plenty of time. Haha
Keep praying for us, thanks for all you do!

Things are moving westward!!!
This week we received 2 boxes of "stuff" that our missionary is sending westward. It is exciting to see the migration and we think he will probably return with 2 empty suitcases. Can't wait for the final shipment!!!

Hey Y'all!
Sorry I am getting to you so late, we went to the State fair today! It was pretty awesome.
There were about 14 missionaries there.
So, we had ourselves another good week. We were supposed to have 5 baptisms this coming week, but it is going to end up only being 2 which is alright. We didn't feel like the others were ready, so we aren't going to push it. On Saturday we went up to North Little Rock for a baptism. I don't know if I ever told you about Ginger, the lady I taught down here then she moved to North Little Rock. Well, she was baptized and asked me to come up to it. It was cool. I was able to talk to her about her experience. Shortly after moving to Little Rock, her deceased mother came to her in a dream and told her to join the church and also gave quite a hint to do her temple work. An amazing story, I will tell you more once it is in person. Anyway, we also found a really cool girl named Alexis this week that has been searching. She came up to us and started asking all the right questions, we ended up answering her questions for about an hour and she is coming to institute this week.
We also had our zone training meeting this week and I was able to spend the day in Camden on an exchange.
Thanks for all you do for me, glad everyone was able to have a good time with the family in town.
Love you!!!
