Steven's letter Aug 24

Dear Family
This week has been great here in Arkansas.  Its been a little hectic though.  Elder Hansen and I are together for at least 6 more weeks here in Pocahontas.  The 2 baptisms on Saturday went really well.  Ill send some pictures so you know who I’m talking about.  We slept in the church building up in ash flat on Friday night because the baptism was at 10 in the morning.  It’s a long drive to get all the way up there so we just drove up Friday afternoon and slept on the floor in the gym.  We brought the cushions of our couch and the couch in the church for our beds.   There is a fair coming up on the 1st through the 5th here that we are supposed to be planning.  We need to start planning.  Elder Hansen and I are pretty excited about being in that.  We have a booth in the main building.  We have a whole lot of pass along cards and pamphlets to hand out to people.  The members here in the branch are excited to be working in the booth with us to.  There is a rodeo and a lot of good food that is supposed to be there too so its going to be a fun week.  We are still driving out to ash flat twice a week.  There are a couple more people out there that we think might be getting baptized in the next 3 or 4 weeks.  We don’t have any scheduled yet though.  There are a couple people here in Pocahontas that I think are pretty close to wanting to be baptized.  And one out in corning too.  Well that’s about all that’s happening here.  We still haven’t seen any tornadoes yet.  The weather has been really nice.  Well have fun going back to school.  Lol I hope you find the snake.
Love Elder Marshall
