Steven's letter Sept 21

Dear Family
How is everything going back home?  Is everyone liking being back in school? So we have a new bishop?  I bet he does a good job as a bishop. It’s been another really good week.  We have been staying really busy especially going back and forth from Pocahontas to Ash Flat.  The 16 year old girl's mom still hasn't changed her mind about letting her get baptized.  We are still able to go see her though so we are grateful for that.  That has happened once before, only the other time the parents wouldn't let us talk to her or let her come to church.  So at least she can still go to church and go to mutual.  Elder Hansen and I have been spending more and more time up in ash flat.  We are going every week, usually twice a week.  We are teaching another person who used to be into drugs and gangs out in Washington.  She has changed her life a lot and has been going to church with us the last couple weeks now.  She is trying to quit smoking this week.  She says she has been trying to stop for a while now.  She has even tried hypnotism and fake cigarettes.  We gave her a copy of the churches 15 step program.  We won't see her until next Saturday though to see how she is doing with it.  Tina has started to introduce us to some of her friends and family.  We met her cousin and one of her friends on Sunday.  I think we are going to start trying to teach them this next week.   Well I hope everyone is having fun.  Hope to hear from you soon.  I love you.
Love Elder Marshall
