This week was a good week. It was a slow week for us. We haven't been able to find any new investigators. We did a lot of tracting but none of the people that we talked to were to interested. I don't even think that we found anyone that would accept a Book of Mormon.  We are trying to help the ward find all the lost sheep and have been finding that most have moved and trying to find a new address for them. 

We are still teaching Josh he is reading from the Book of Mormon, we are giving him a chapter to read every day.  He was sick so he didn't make it to church.

We have been teaching a person named Austin and he is going to school to become a preacher. I think he is meeting with us just for intellectual reasons. We talked all about the atonement and the priesthood this week. I hope we can find some thing to peak his interest into spiritual.

We have done some service this week. We help a family moved in the ward from Texas. The Johnsons came from a small branch.  The interesting thing is that their daughter was in my last ward. It is crazy how small of a world we live in.

This Thursday we went out with Brother Mack. We felt inspired to see a family named the Austin's. When we got there Brother Austin was about ready to leave for work. He asked us to help assist him in giving his daughter a blessing. It was the First blessing that he ever gave.  It was a sure prompting for us to see him when we did.

Thanks for all the letters and the emails. I am grateful for the support. I love you all so much. I hope you all have an excellent week.

Love,

Elder Benjamin Allen
