Stuff

Only have a few minutes left but thought I should give a little update. We are trying not to collapse on our run to the finish. We are still working and trying to get more teaching opportunities. Floyd Avery made the big commitment yesterday to come to Sacrament Meeting on Sunday. It helped that Sis. Smith is speaking. He always listens to everything she says. Anyway we are way excited for that. We also have found a couple of very less actives that we are working with. We hope we can get them moving in a positive direction before we leave but then the branch will have to keep it going and they haven't been very helpful with that. Pray for these people please. There are not very many Senior couples coming out now because of the economy or something so it doesn't look like we will get replaced. President has already started closing some areas, even where Elders are because he is getting fewer Elders too. Arkansas is really very pretty in the spring when everything is some shade of green. It has been very wet and we actually have more flooding now than we had after the hurricans last fall. Well I am about to be timed out so I better finish up. We love you all and pray for the Lord to bless you always.
