Dear Family,
This week was quite slow. Many of the people that we generally visit were too busy due to the holidays and it rained the entire day on Saturday. We did manage to meet a new person that we were pretty excited about and we are looking forward to next week and meeting again. The Sisters in our ward have a baptism coming up in the next couple of weeks so we have been trying to help them out as best as we can. They are teaching the daughter of a less active and are just trying to get the mother to go to church so that her daughter can get baptized. The sisters are getting really nervos about it and we are just hoping they dont get too stressed about the whole thing. We are now looking forward to Mardi Gras and the beggining of craw fish season. It seems like there is a holiday or crazy event happening at least once a month. the members are getting pretty excited for craw-fish season and they almost seem more excited for that than they were for the past few holidays we had. I guess thats really all thats been exciting about the past week nothing really has happened since Wednesday. The coming week should be pretty good!

Love,
Elder Smith
