Beautiful Arkansas!
This week has been a really great week in Arkansas especially this last Sunday went really well. It seems like Sunday is almost always a highlight of the week. First off we we had a Zone meeting last Thursday and we were able to watch "Meet the Mormons". It was an awesome movie, and it really showed the true lives of Mormons and quiets all the rumors about us. The spirit was strong during the movie, and the stories of these people were awesome. Make sure that you go and see it, it's definitely worth it. That movie was definitely inspired, I'll tell you why in a second.
So on Saturday night we went over to our investigators Ci.. and Ag. They have been our investigators for a while, so they have been taught all of the lessons. Ci. comes basically every week to church and participates in other activities. Ag. comes when he can. They haven't been baptized because they aren't married. And in the last couple weeks they had been telling us that they are going to separate because things haven't been going well and Ag.. had started drinking again. So we weren't sure what was going to happen with them in the future. When we visited them this Saturday they had gone to the Movie the night before. They loved it and they even watched it in English, and they don't even really speak any English. Ag. told us that the movie was all based on families. And now he said today is the day that he is going to stop drinking and he wants to know what he needs to do to be baptized. Now instead of separating they are going to get married, and then after be baptized. Such an awesome experience!! We were not expecting that at all, the spirit must have really touched them during the movie. We are probably going to set baptismal dates with them this week.

On Sunday all 5 of our investigators that we invited to church came! 2 of our new investigators came as well. We went to guide them to the church, and they were all ready in their car to go, that was super cool. We have sacrament meeting last, and when I walked in I saw the Arroyos! They were the family that I talked about a few letters ago that had gone inactive. And how we visited them and gave them a blessing, and I felt that I needed to directly invite them to come to the Branch. Well they did come, and that was definitely a testimony builder for me, they hadn't come to the branch in over 3 months. Hopefully they will become active once again. So that was really awesome, it was nice to see our work paying off.
This last P-day we went to Central High school where the Little Rock 9 happened. The first black kids to be segregated into a public high school. It was really cool to see it, because I had learned about it in history. I never thought I'd actually go there. The high school was massive, it looks like it should be a capitol building or something.
I'm sorry to hear about Sister brown, that really is surprising to me. That's really sad, she was so nice. That's too bad that Seth and Don have to move. Seth is amazing, it's impossible to not be happy when you are around him, or he is singing, or bearing his testimony. Such an example to all of us.
T hat's all that I have for this week. I hope that you all have a awesome week. I love you tons!
Love, Elder Geddes
