Dear Family

Hey how has your week been going? So only two more days till school is
out?  Wow its coming up pretty fast.  Is anything fun going to be
happening after that? Its been a pretty good week here.  Memorial day
was a lot of fun.  We were over at a members house during the day.
That was  a lot of fun.  We got to do a lot over there.  We went
fishing, played basket ball,  had a barbeque,  lol and we got to shoot
elder Arnold in the stomach with air soft guns.  That was a lot of
fun.  It was his idea too.  He has some nice red welts now.  We were
invited to a few dinners.  It was a fun P day.  Ya I didn’t used to
like playing basket ball.  I do now though.  I’m getting better.  I
wasn’t very good, but that’s what a lot of missionaries like to do for
Mondays and then we do it Wednesday night and invite all of our
investigators to come play at the church.  And we play with people on
the streets and in the parks. We find a lot of people to teach when we
play with them.  Lol we have to go easy on people on the streets
though because the don’t like getting beat by a couple of white kids.
Elder Arnold is pretty good at basketball.  We don’t get to play
soccer very often though.
 Well Temeka still isn’t doing very good this week she found out that
her Liver is enlarged and she has a lot of extra fluid in her stomach
where she got shot.  Ya Satan works hard against all of the new
converts.  I don’t think there has been one person that I’ve seen
baptized that had an easy time before or after they got baptized.   We
are teaching Temeka’s daughter right now.  Her name is Shameka.  She
is getting baptized on the 19th.  She got her jaw broken a few years
ago in a fight. They put metal plates in her jaw. Well she has been
tasting rust in her mouth when she eats and drinks.  She says it
tastes like she is sucking on a penny.  Well she went in and got it
checked and the doctor told her whoever did her surgery put iron
plates.  They are rusting and she has to have them taken out and new
ones put in.  I think she said that was going to be happening in the
next week.  Ya Satan defiantly doesn’t want any of these people
baptized.  They will though.
Well I hope you have a great week.  Thanks for everything.

Love Elder Marshall
