Steven's letter Nov 23

Dear Family 
I think that’s a new record getting pulled over three times in one trip. And I thought I got pulled over a lot. Its been a pretty good week here. Elder Morris Is a really good missionary. He has been teaching me a lot about how to be a better missionary. Its been kindof hard coming from a little branch to a big ward. There are a lot more names to remember. There are a lot of nice people here in the ward. We had a fireside at the ward mission leader’s house last night. That was a lot of fun. We have a new investigater because of it. It was for the youth to bring their friends to. There was only one non member there, but she really liked it and I think we are going to try to see her again on Wednesday. She told us that she wanted a copy of the book of mormon so she could give it a chance and find out for herself if it was true or not. Elder Morris and I are pretty excited to get to teach her. We get fed a lot more here than we did in Pocahontas. That’s going to be nice. We have only had to cook dinner twice since we got here. I miss the little town life style though. Everything is really big here. The people here in Collierville are a lot more wealthy than the people in pocahontas were. A lot of the buisness people that work in Memphis commute there from German town and collierville. We go down into mississippi too. The people there are more country people. I had a lot of fun going out there. It was a lot more like what I was used to. One house even had the cocroaches running all over the walls in the living room.(and the floors… and even one on the kitchen table. No joke) That grosed out the member that went with us. Thanksgiving is going to be a lot of fun. They have a turky bowl here. There are two wards here, so we get to go play football with them in the morning. We are going to be going out like a regular day besides that though. We do have 2 dinner appointments already though. So Elder morris and I are planning on being pretty full by the end of the day. Well I hope everything is going good there. Hope every one is having fun in school and corey is having fun working at linns. Have a good thanksgiving.
Love Elder Marshall
