Dear Family,

Sounds like a busy life on the homefront! It's busy here too.

We're mostly doing a lot of tracting. We really feel that there are people here we are meant to find, and the only way we're gonna find them is if we tract a lot. So that's kinda what we're doing. It's always an adventure tracting. You never know what's gonna be behind that next door.

I still love it here in Arkansas. It's a wonderful place. The church is really growing here.

Yesterday we had Stake Conference. Elder Perry Webb, an Area Seventy came and spoke. As well as one of the Counselors to our Mission President, President Renfroe. President Southward(the Oklahoma City Temple President, with whom I am acquainted) and his wife spoke as well. It was one of the best Stake Conferences I have ever attended.

They called our Bishop as the Stake Young Mens President. I guess we'll be getting a new Bishop next week. Apparently the current one has been in for 6 years. So that'll be an exciting thing. I've never been in an area while they got a new Bishop before. I hope the new one lives in the area we cover, haha.

I went to try a local Cajun restaurant for lunch the other day. It was shut down. We looked it up in the Phonebook and called the number. The number was disconnected. I guess it's out of business. That kind of stinks. But hey, there's a ton of places to eat in this town. We just ate at the local Thai restaurant. It was phenomenal. I am addicted to Thai food.

Yesterday we had crock-pot roast for dinner with a family. That was like a little slice of home. I enjoyed it.

Well, anyways. I guess that's all I really have to talk about this week. I hope you have a good one!

Love,
Elder Bracken
