This week was a really good week.  We had two exchanges with the zone leaders from Bentonville and Fort Smith and they were both such great days with great missionaries. 
 
Zone Conference.  Looks like Mikey and his Comp said something pretty funny haha!
The highlight of the week would have to be of course Carl's baptism.  The whole $quad came out to see it haha.  All the young men in this ward are great and they are a very close group that just really support and help each other!  Carl is a great addition to our ward and is progressing so quickly.  He is going to come out to teach with us this Tuesday!  I am so grateful to have met him.

The next really cool miracle that happened this week is that we were tracting this huge apartment that is just full of Marshallese people!  I didn’t know this but about everybody in the Marshall Islands has been taught by missionaries haha.  The church is huuuge over there so everybody knows who we are.  Unfortunately not a whole lot of them want to commit to putting away cigarettes etc.  Well we were tracting and having a lot of success in finding people actually.  We found a lot of members just nobody that really still wanted to be active.  Well flash forward to a door we knock on.  A woman comes out and says that she has been praying for us to come knock on her door.  Her name is Li-badeo Aidrickdrick.  She came to church the next day and her husband is coming soon from the island and they hope to be sealed soon!

But I love you all and hope you have a great week.  Remember the Lord rewards effort.  I know that is true I have seen it countless times.  The Lord rewards effort, even when the fruits are not seen.
