So, this week has been very busy. Fortunatley for me, I love being busy. We found quite alot of people this week to teach and we are really excited about them. Things are going really well which is kinda gives me mixed feelings becuse transfers are next week (we find out this friday) and before I kinda was ready to go but now I'm not so sure. We'll see though. Transfers are always an exciting time.

We were able to meet with the Marinos again and it was great. We invited them to be baptized and they expressed feelings that they wanted to make sure they would be committed to it so they want to start with littlier things first. We invited them to a church tour this wednesday and they will be coming. We are very excited about it. We gave every member of the family and called it thier "Blessing Jars". If they read they get a jewel if they pray they get a jewel, if they do each of those for a week they get a bigger jewel. If they have us over they all get a jewel. If they come to church they get a sea shell. The kids are really excited about doing it and the parents are catching the fire. We had a problem with them not really keeping their committments. We called them the other day and she said that every day the girls wake up and ask to say a prayer and to read. We are really excited to see them to start progressing. They are a super great family.

Not too much else to report on this week. Sorry. Elder Mitton and I have to give talks next week in church which could be the last week for one of us. I really love this ward (best of my mission) so it would be sad to go.

Mom, Justin said that they would figure out housing and all that. If Kevin can room with Matt than I can room with my buds. I know when to do my work and I'll be fine. Whether we room together or not we'll still be with eachother all the time so I'll save more time by not traveling (time that could be spent studying). Can't argue with that. haha Tony and J get home pretty soon. That is crazy to think about. I heard you tried to get President Paulson to release me on the 4th. That is ridiculous. I told him it would be fine if I went two days before school started. I guess he decided to give me a week (prob. because of you haha).

Well, Love ya all,
Elder Turner
