Today we don't have a lot of time for e-mailing. We still need to go 

shopping, wash and wax the car, and at 2 pm we're going to the police 

academy with Brother Turnbough. Too bad we can't shoot any firearms, 

but we get to see those going through the academy. We're also going 

to get our backgrounds checked. I'll let you know of there are any 

warrents out for my arrest....

I'm not sure how things are going with Ashley. She revealed to us 

that her husband is abusive and she's been considering divorce. On 

Friday night she packed a suitcase to stay with her grandma in 

Missouri, and her husband got angry and beat her Saturday morning, 

and took off to Fayetteville with the car. She called us at about 

noon, and we were able to get her over to a members house. She told 

us she would come to church, though. She ended up going to 

Fayetteville to get her car Saturday night, and stayed there with her 

husband and his cousin, and a new member that moved in let us know on 

Sunday afternoon that her car was back at her apartment (she didn't 

come to church). I talked with Brother Pena about what to do (a 

fellow police officer), and ultimately it's up to Ashley. The police 

have resources to help her, but she has to call them. I'm going to 

stop by tomorrow and see how she's doing. I'm not sure what will 

happen.

In the way of other investigators, no Marshallese investigators came 

to church. But we have found a couple of new English investigators 

that seem promising.

We've had some rain the past couple of days that dropped the 

temperature way down. It's been really nice. Oh, and on Saturday 

night, we had dinner with the Evans family, the Scott family, and the 

Dias family. Brother Evans went to Brazil on his mission, and Brother 

and Sister Dias are from Brazil, so they had a big party (don't 

remember the name of it) with Brasilian food. It was way good!

Transfers are in a couple of weeks. I'll know where I'm going by next 

Monday, and let you know. I have a suspicion that I might stay here 

for another 6 weeks, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, time to get going. See you all next week!
