Steven's Letter July 6

Dear family
This week was a pretty busy week.  We had to move into the Elder and sister Winegar's appartment.  We are appartment B now instead of A. There isn't any one in the old appartment yet so we can still check both mailboxes, but could you let everyone know that the address is changed?  They aren't going to replace the winegars.  We are the only missionaries in our area.  The nearest elders are about an hour drive away in Jonesborro.  Thats where Elder Fjerstad is.  We had all the missionaries over last week to help the winegars move out.  We had to clean their appartment after they left, Then move all their furniture out and ours in.  Then we had to clean our appartment really well so other people can move in.  Then load all the Winegars stuff on to a trailer to go back to Little Rock. It took all day tuesday, and part of Wednesday.  We are down to just one baptism schedualed on the 18th.  The two that were suppost to be this saturday are running from the law right now.  So they arent going to be baptized this week.  We had three investigators at church on sunday.  One of them wants to be baptized so we are going to be setting up a date with her some time pretty soon. She was talking to missionaries before she moved here from Texarkansas, but she lost track of the missionaries for a while.  It hasn't rained here since i got here.  Elder Hansen said that it was raining a lot before i got here,  but the grass is starting to turn brown now because it hasn't rained in three weeks.  So i haven't seen any lightning or tornadoes yet, but hopefully pretty soon.  He says the clouds turn green when there is a chance of a tornadoe.  Ill try to get some pictures.   :)   Thank you for the light, the knife, and the Priesthood line of authority.  I just got the box today.  There was a lot of stuff in the box. Did you take the pictures off the card and put it on the computer? transfers are next week. They happen every six weeks.  Elder Hansen thinks i am going to be switched to spanish speaking pretty soon, but he doesn't think it will be this transfer.  I guess ill find out by Sunday if i am going to be transfered.  Hopefully i wont though. I like it here.  The people have been really nice.  The food is really good to. I haven't tried any wierd food, but Elder Hansen has.  He has eaten possom,  pig intestines, and some kind of squirl soup that had fur in it.  I've just tried deep fried brocoli.  O i ment to ask you what all of the envolopes were for that were in the box with the blanket and pillow.  I still have them, but i'm not sure what they are for.
So did you go to Lagoon?  Grandpa said something about that in his letter.   Well i better go.  I hope everything is going good in Logandale. Have fun on the Lawn mower.
Love Elder Marshall
