Mother's Day

We talked to Reed on Mother's Day. We waited and waited at Mamaw's house so he could talk to her also. But it figures, Reed forgot about the time change so he caught us in the car on the way home. He sounds good. He is district leader now and rides a bike. I'll send emails soon.

New Area: Reed the District Leader

Here's Reed's latest email. Sounds like things are great. Click on the link list to see his new bike area.

Hey Fam. I have been having some good fun here in my new bike area. Everything is pretty slow at the moment, but we will get the wards excited about missionary work here soon enough. We are teaching them the lessons so that we can really bring the spirit into their home and they will start to trust that we do a good job. Also, it gives us the opportunity to give them commitments. The only thing with that is that we need to remember to follow up, because that is really important. Elder Alvey and I are doing really well together. He is a real goofball, which is great because so am I. We haven't really gotten to teach a formal lesson together yet, but I think that it will go fine. I think I already told you about this, but Pres. Gessel is about to leave as our Mission President. That will be a sad day, but I am excited to see what new things the next one brings in. Well, I can't think of anything else really to say, but I want you to know that I am doing great still and that the work is moving forward. Oh, there is one more thing. I had the opportunity yesterday to give a Preach My Gospel Training at our Zone Training. It was on unity. I am always glad to do those because i am able to learn so much more myself on the subject. Surprisingly some of the missionaries said that it was pretty good. I think my social skills are getting better so I bet that helped. Well, that is it.Keep it cool,Elder Carter

Update: Easter

Hey Family, It sounds like everything is getting pretty hectic. Things around here are pretty normal: always hectic. That is the way that I like it, because it keeps my mind off of everything else. Oh, i haven't gotten that package yet, so i hopr it didn't get lost in the mail. I will let you know when I do. Yeah, this three-some is pretty crazy. It is actually not as bad as my first one, though. Elder Wilson has been out about 20 months, but is very easy to agree with. The work here is going somewhat smoothly. We are working hard and seeing the blessings from it. Our investigators are finally starting to progress somewhat, so that is pretty exciting. The members are really taking care of us too. The weight scale doen't lie about that. I am probably passed Brett now and gaining on dad. But it's whatever. I am not lokking forward to missing going to mawmaw's house. I really miss getting out and being able to see the back woods and things of that nature. Tell Katelyn that I said congratulation to her. That is pretty sweet that she is going to dance in Nashville. Everytime I tell someone that I am from Memphis, TN they ask how close it is to Nashville. There is more to TN than Nashville, but it is still a cool place. Riley just keeps on going, too. Does he ever slow down? Well, i guess if he has that energy then more power to him. Well, I guess that is all the damage I can do for today. Tell everyone I said Happy Easter and think about the Ressurection of Christ. Bye for now.Elder Carter
