Alright I'm back. So. We went up to Marksville for exchanges and for p-day last week. With the AA meeting and all that. It was super cool. A member up there gave me a whole box of playing cards from the casino nearby. So now I have 12 packs of pretty nice cards hahaha. Other than that we got to talk to a lot of wild people and teach them a bit and such. We also had district council. Pretty neat. We got our new missionary handbook type of thing. It's called missionary standards for disciples of Christ or something like that. Its really cool though. It's not too different but like it's cool. If you wanna know then ask me later. Um. So after district council we had the rest of exchanges and such. Then we drive back here Thursday and got to visit this member we met. They haven't been to church in forever and stuff but they love it when we come by now. Pretty cool. Cuz past missionaries thought they moved or died....but we got em hehehe. Anyways they're super cool. After that we went to an elders quorum thingy. It was neat. We had gumbo and got to meet and talk with some more members. Like man I'm trying to figure out all these people but when you and your companion both dont know anyone it's hard to remember. Anyways. On Friday we went to an interesting veteran presentation. This dude mark does it and we help him a lot. After that we got a referral from salt lake and zoomed over to this guy named Jamie. He is wicked cool. Like he knows and believes everything we do. Except that he has been reading other literature and stuff. Turns out he read the BOM like 20 years ago and remembers it super well. But hes well versed in the bible and all kinds of stuff. But like. He knows the truth. Like actually. I was pleasantly surprised. After that we visited all around. Gave a lady a bible. Neat stuff. Saturday we planned and junk. Then we went and met a dude named uh. Kadarrian who's actually pretty cool. We were the only white people around for a good mile or so. And theres a ton of people out and around everywhere. Something that doesn't happen in Utah hahah. After that we tried some other people but no success. We talked to bro dolla for a bit and then yeah. Sunday was cool. A whole bunch a nonmembers were there. Cool stuff. We're teaching a recent convert the lessons. He's 8 but his parents aren't members. He really likes us haha. Kinda sad he thought we were gonna be here for our whole 2 years and he was excited. What can ya do. We had a Thanksgiving thing after church with the ward. It was super cool. It's just wack because I can't tell if someone's a member or not a lot of the time. So that's been interesting. And we got to eat with some super dope members after. So a good day. Annnd now today. Kinda weird I can drink beer in like 5 days...... hahahahahah jk. But anyways the marksville elders came down and we hungout and played board games and junk. Pretty sweet. Uhm yeah. Thats all folks. Seeeeeeeya.

Ps scripture time: James 2: 17-18, 2 Ne 25: 23
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.
Some scriptures we shared with Jamie that are real cool.
