Dear Family and Friends,

This week was a good week. The weather is warming up.

Monday was p-day we had dinner with the Hales. They are moving to Utah this summer. After dinner we went to Sister Stocket’s house. We help her drain her leaking pond and replace the liner in the bottom. That was fun but messy.

Tuesday we had lunch with the Embreys then a funeral for a member of the ward. We help serve the food for the dinner following it. We got feed after serving them. We saw Angelo and talk with him about receiving the Melchizedek priesthood. He wants to go to the temple some day. We also saw Debbie.

Wednesday we had district meeting It was on talking to everyone and the blessings of doing so.   We did some tracting trying to talk with everyone we saw. We found one new investigator and some potentials.  We tried to show everyone we got in with the movie “Because of Him”.  We saw the Burchetts and showed the movie “Because of Him.”

Thursday was weekly planning. We had an investigator drop us because his mom told him he should.  We saw lots of less actives active membersand we showed the Easter movie to them.   We had a member drop pizza off for us to eat.  We saw Wade and invited him to come to church.  He sent a Battery charger to go back to Bishop with us. We talk with Bishop and his family for a while about Easter and inviting their friends to come.

Friday we did more tracting.  Our appointments with a couple of people didn't work out. We talk with lots about Easter.

Saturday we did lots of driving. We went past Savannah to try to find some people. Did some work in Savannah. We meet with the Ryans and learned all about the Dirty Joe's Sewer. Bro Ryan work for the sewer plant and has lots of stories of things they find.  Had dinner with The Crumbs from second ward with all of the missionaries in St Joe. There were lots of family members there.  After dinner we went to the hospital. Bro Crawford wasn't there. He had gone home to Albany.

Sunday was Easter! Church was awesome all about Christ and the atonement. Shanna came to church. We are having a problem with her because her boyfriend doesn't want her to met with us or come to church. We had dinner with the Crumbs, Dinnings, Hurts and all the rest of the families. It was like a family reunion. We were able to meet with the Goodmans.  We showed the movie with them and talked about Burma.

Thanks for all the Easter candy and card. I hope you all are doing great.

Love,

Elder Benjamin Allen
