Steven's letter October 5

Dear Family
Hey how is everyone doing this week? Is it starting to get cold there?  I heard it snowed in Idaho this week. Elder Hansen is mad that he can’t go snow boarding.  Its been getting cold here already.  Its been a pretty good week here.  We had two baptisms this week.  One on Friday night here in Pocahontas, and one on Sunday between sessions of Conference.  They were both really neat baptisms.  Elder Hansen and I have been working really well together.  We are getting split up though.  He got a call from the mission president on Saturday morning.  He is getting transferred and is going to be a new Zone leader.  So Wednesday I'm getting a new companion.  This transfer was huge.  Every companionship in our zone got split up.  There are 9 new missionaries coming out and 9 going home.  It’s going to be a busy week.  I think the next couple days we are just going to be going around so Elder Hansen can say good bye to all the members.  No fun.  Do you remember the lady that Elder Hasalam and I gave a tour of the church to last week?  Well she came to all 4 sessions of conference.  She really liked all of them. After the 1st one, she came up to Elder Hansen and i and asked us if it was ok if she became a Mormon.  That kind of cot us by surprise.  she is getting baptized on the 24th of October.  She is a pretty cool lady.  She is 79 years old.  She used to be the treasurer for the Lutheran church here in Pocahontas.  The first time we met her she was trying to give another one of our investigators anti-Mormon literature.  We asked her if we could come talk to her.  She has changed her mind about the church since then.  Well thats about all that has been going on here.  Hope everyone is having fun in school.  I miss you all
Love Elder Marshall
