Dear Family,

Hello! The First week of the transfer is gone. Wow, that is crazy. So this week was pretty good. Let me tell you about it.

So, we are still working with Kyle. He still has a date for this weekend on Saturday. We are hoping that it will still go through. He went on a band trip to Florida this weekend and he called us and told us he brought his Book of Mormon and that he was going to read it.

Roy is still planning on getting baptized on Sunday as well. He went to the Collierville ward this last Sunday and seemed to enjoy it but he wants to be baptized up in Bartlett because he has a lot of friends up here. So we are going to baptize him up in Bartlett, which is good. He will transfer his records in the future to the Collierville ward.

We got in contact with an old investigator of Elder Murdock’s named Glenda. She is a Spanish person. So we got the Carnahan’s, some members that know her, to come and talk with her in Spanish. She can speak English really well but she prefers to speak in Spanish which isn’t really a problem.

A lot of ward activities went down this weekend. The Ward had a ward talent show which was quit

e fun. A lot of the kids from the families in the ward did stuff, like play the piano or sing. A lot of funny skits where included as well. Then on the weekend, there was an Easter egg hunt activity. There were a lot of Non-members around so we mingled around and talked to people.

This mission is definitely changing. We are trying to achieve the goal of 712 baptisms for the year 2010. I hope that we will be able to make it. I won’t be here for all of it but I will do all that I can with the rest of the time I have left. I love this gospel, I know that it is true. It brings happiness to all those who embrace it and live it. What a great honor that we have to have a living prophet on the earth today and we get to hear from him this weekend! Jesus Christ lives and loves us. We must strive to follow his example. I love you guys so much, thank you for the support and love. God bless you.

Love,

Kyle
