Dear Family,

Hey, this week was good. We had a lot of good things going on.

We are now teaching a new part-member family, the Taylors. Sis Taylor is the member. She has been less-active for a while. She was off the church records in this area so we didn't know she was around. She called her old bishop and asked for a blessing so they called someone here in West Memphis to give her a blessing. So, the branch found her through giving her a blessing. She said she wanted to start coming back to church and she didn't even know that there was a church in West Memphis. She also said that her husband and Son are interested in the lesson and what to get baptized. So, we have started to teach them. They are really smart and soaking up the gospel really well.

Other than that, we are working with some others but it's hard to catch a lot of them home around this time of year. But, it is wonderful to be a missionary around this time of year. Remember as you celebrate Christmas to remember why we celebrate it, Our Savior Jesus Christ. I love y'all and look forward to speaking to y'all on Christmas.

Love,

Elder Kyle Parker
