Hello!!!!!

I'm so excited to hear that Sammy boy made it home safe and sound!  That is super exciting!!  Just make sure he’s not married before I get home okay?  So yeah I'm pretty much very excited for Sunday! It’ll be a blast! I'm not sure if you can tell by the plethora of exclamation points!  So yeah today we're going to play tennis with someone in ward, so it'll be a nice change of pace from basketball all the time!

So brother Wilstead has been not feeling too well this past week, and we only got to see him for about 5 minutes, which was pretty funny.  So we went over to his house and he answered the door and let us in.  Then he said well I’m going to go catch up on some sleep so feel free to stick around and just hang out for a bit, then he just left us in his living room. He's a pretty funny guy and is way fun to visit, even though he's like 50 years older than us.

So yeah talking to people on the bike path, it has actually reduced the quantity of how many people we talk to, because you can tract alot of houses quickly, and walking the path is a game of chance depending on how many people are out that day.  So yeah, the quantity has gone down, but the quality has increased by alot.  I guess when people are out and about they are more willing to talk to people!

So there is a family in the ward who actually moved out of the ward on Friday.  The day they moved out they invited their neighbors to come to church, and the neighbors said yes!  So they came and had a good time at church, so we're hoping that they turn into investigators and eventually join the church!  Did I mention it’s a family of 8?  That was super cool to see them all show up! 

Well I'll be seeing you on Sunday!
Love,
Elder Pickett
