Sorry to all about taking so long in post new e-mail, but I had issues getting into this blog.

Hello Everyone, Everything in Charleston is still pretty much the same. We are still doing a lot of walking and knocking on doors. It seems like everyone out here is comfortable with their lives and don't like change. Karley Cummings was baptized on Sunday! We were a little worried about her cuts on her face but the doctor said it would be ok if she was just dunked. She was really nervous at first and she started crying, but with her moms help we got her in the font. I had the amazing opportunity to confirm her a member of the church. It was a very humbling experience. I was shaking really bad. LOL We finally found Adrienne Moore again. She has been MIA for about two weeks. We were worried that she was antied, but she just had to run out of town for the week to help her brother in Mingo County. They don't have any phone service out there that is why we couldn't get a hold of her. We rescheduled her baptism date for July 5th. We are going to try to get a lot of members to come with us when we teach her. That way she feels comfortable at church on Sunday. It has been really slow this week for lessons. We have taught a wopping 6 lessons in the whole week. It is frustrating at times but we are not going to let that slow us down. We talked with the bishop this Sunday about setting up an excange program. We are going to have members scheduled to come with us on Thursday night. That will be really nice. We will hopfully take them to lessons but if we don't have any scheduled then we will go with them to their home teaching. That way we help out the mission efferts and the ward goals. I think that the ward home teaching percent is like 19%. We are going to try to help out the ward as much as possible. Our goal is to reactivate at least 5 members this transfer. It is going to be tough because some people are just really stubborn, but we will just try to go in there and relight the fire. Thank you all for the many prayers that are being said on my behalf. They are really helping. Thanks so much for the support a home. I love you all so much! Love, Elder Anderson
