So Crossville is super slow people wise. It makes me never want to get old, lol. So we are trying to get the ward young and it's working. We are seeing every single person on the ward list and inviting them to church. I think we have ten people reactivated and really have the ward boosted.

I  gave a talk last week-so me and my big mouth said I would do any thing crazy to get the awkward out of the way so we could get to business. So I have been doing some pretty crazy things at request. lol. Everything is going great.

Hello out there in tv land this is your favorite emailer. 

There is finally time to email. So the past two weeks in Crossville (Crosvull) have been so fast we are really picking things up. We have got three families re-activated, with plenty more to see. We are trying to get the ward to just talk to some one else each week. I'ts working amazingly.  The area mostly consists of retired and people on disability.

So last night around 8 we were walking back towards our apartment to get the car when we saw this van down the road with the hazards on. I could not see any one but we decided to go see if we could help. We got to the van and this lady was praying for someone to come help.  Go  figure, we show up.  So we get to her and ask what's wrong....she was out of gas and didn't have a phone.  She was so scared she was pleading for us to just stay with her. We were like lady, calm down... we are not going to leave you all alone here. But anyway, a cop drove by, and we pushed her car to a parking lot near by. We didn't talk to her about the church or anything but really left the cop and her with good impressions of who we are...    So any how, I got rid of the bed bugs finally and life is good. On mothers day I can skype home so I was thinking that it might be fun to do. I know its a little ways out there but what ever yall want to do.  I will be making some pictures today to send home.  

Love you lots,  Caleb               
P.S. Don't forget Willow

Hey,

I'm doing great. So we had 5 baptisms this past Saturday. It was really cool. So this Tuesday is transfers and I found out I will be going to Clifton, TN. It's the farthest east the misson goes. I hear that it's an older ward so we will see. But anyways, I am staying very busy busy busy and focused. So today I did a buffalo hot wings challenge and i guess im allergic to the sauce. But I will e-mail a longer message next week.

Hey,

Every thing is going really good. So we had a baptism this Saturday - a guy named king James Williams. We got every thing ready, and he showed up at the church and so did the cops he got arrested...but any ways he ended up coming to church yesterday. And we had a lot of re-activates and investigators there in gospel principles class and king bore his testimony followed by Misty Faccadio, an investigator, (she is very shy) then everyone shared how the gospel changed their lives, and how Jesus is a fourth watch Savior. It was so cool to be there. 

This ward is so cool we have tons of support from them. They tell us that we are the most trusted and hard working elders they have ever had here. There is so much activity here its crazy! Time is flying by ... We have 4 truly converted people to to be baptized on the 31 so it will be cool. We are focused on less active families and it is a lot of fun.

So two days ago I found a really nice knife on the side of the road. I guess it will replace the one TSA got. It's 80 degrees outside with about 75% humidity. No leaves on the trees but lots of grass. I am in true redneck country and am 13 of 15 on knowing the guns out here... Any ways talk to you later, 

love Caleb

Hi,

I'm doing fine. I live in the nicest apartment in the misson. It's called the Taj Mahal. Everything is going well. I am companions with an elder I came out with the first time. So any ways, I finally got a gun pulled on me...I did know what it was so he let me get a picture with it. I am in a military area so it's always fun to talk to people. We are working on less active members almost completely. The ward I am in is really nice and we get a lot done. 

Out of time. Talk to you next week.
