Week 27

So my first week in Illinois! it started off real cold, but it's gotten warmer and today it's even supposed to get to the 60s! YAY

Elder Dudley is great, we mesh pretty well so far!

This area has a ton of people to see it's ridiculous...  But none of them are progressing, well except for this kid named Franky,  He's got a baptismal date and he's really cool.

The ward here is also really good from what I've seen so far, Speaking of which, do any of you guys remember the Joyners? He's the bishop down here and he came from Nampa, and he kinda looks familiar.  He might have been in the high council or something.

I'm gonna miss the Shelbyville ward, but it's also nice to be here though.

There is a TON of Less Actives over here... or rather In-actives .. i think there's about 600 members in the ward and about 130 of them are active..  Silly Illinois.

there's also a lot of rednecks in this town.  Well, i guess it was about the same in lewisburg.

Anyhow, there's a quote that i really like that i'll share with ya'll.

it's by Elder M. Russell Ballard.
"What is most important is what lasts the longest, and Families are forever."
So Enjoy your family!  cause they'll be there forever....

Love ya'll
-Elder Martin
