hey how is it going with you guys this week. so you all went to washington this week huh? sounds like you had a good time there, so angel came too? well cool let me know if anything new and exciting happens in lund. this week was a good week in eldorado we did a lot of knocking doors this which gets kinda boring after a while. we talk to a lot of people this week and none of them said we could come back which is kinda sad. as far as bill goldrick goes he pretty much backed out because he is a girl scout. we went and talk to him and had a awesome lesson the spirit was there and we talk about the importance of baptism. he knows that the church is true he has no problem accepting the doctrine and he has good member support his son and daughter- in-law are members. whats holding him backs is that he is scared of commitment. i think he sees how involved his son is in the church and is worried that he is going to have to dedicate a lot of time to church calling. he is like 80 years old and for some reason he thinks it will be easier to join later in life. what i think of is a talk one of the apostle gave i can't can't remember who gave it but it is called the 7 deadly harrosies(i know i spelled that wrong) but he talked about how you can't think that you will be able to accept the gospel in the next life when you have a testimony of it in this life. i feel that once you get a testimony that this church is true it is your obligation to act on that testimony. i tried to explain that to him as tactfully as possible but he is scared to commit. but this week was stake conference in the eldorado ward and they were reorganizing the stake presidency so that was kind of fun to watch. elder porter from the 70 came down and talk he gave a pretty good talk. on week 6 we are have a big zone conference where elder c. scott grow from the quorm of the 70 is coming down to talk to us so that should be pretty exciting. well i think that is about all that is going on this week. it is kind of weird to think that it is already week 5 of the transfer. i have almost been out 6 months time flies. well if you guys could it would be great if you would send my memory card back out to me and hey i would not be to upset if you sent some snacks out with it. well got to go talk to you later.

love elder reid
