Steven's letter Oct 26

Dear family
Hey how is everyone doing this week?  So how is Corey likin the new job?  It’s been an awesome week here. It started out real slow though.  Elder Perza was sick for a couple days.  So we couldn’t go out and work Wednesday and Thursday.  It was a slow couple days with not much to do.  We did a lot of studying.  It was good to start working again on Friday.  Tanara did it.  She quit smoking and drinking coffee.  She got baptized yesterday after church.  It was so awesome.  Tanara has had to change so much to get to where she is.  We have been talking to her a lot this week.  She has been having really bad headaches because she is used to having a pot of coffee every morning, and she has been really struggling with not smoking any cigarettes.   There were a few nights when we called her that she was having problems not giving in, but she was able to quit.  Last night when we talked to her, she said it was the first time this week she hasn’t had any headaches or cravings for cigarettes.  She is going to be an awesome member of the branch up there.  We have been working with another guy up by Eveningshade.   Elder Perza drove on a dirt road for about an hour to get to his house.  He lives way out in the middle of no where.  I thought I could understand people with strong southern accents,  but I have to really concentrate to understand him.  He is a really good guy.  Elder perza and I are looking forward to getting to know him. He doesn’t know much about Christ or what a prophet is or anything about the bible, but he knows he wants to get baptized.  He has a date for the 7th of November.  We were pretty excited to find him.  His name is Eugene.  Well hope everyone is having fun.  Love yall
Love Elder Marshall
