Three app. crashed. About it.

About the same as the rest of the week. Tract, move-ins, etc. Marrett had to work so we have to still give him the 6th tomorrow so they can be baptized. About it.
April 24, 1965
We gave Marretts the 6th and she still was making a fuss about baptism that night so we decided to let them wait and come church tomorrow and see what it was like and all. Then have the baptismal after sacrament met. We have a fella by the name of West or tried to give him the 1st and he was so far out to lunch. What a mess.
April 25, 1965
We went to our regular mtgs. And we were expecting Marretts to show up and they never [did]. After Sunday school we drove past and no one was home. We went on down the street and saw Bro. Marrett standing in front of his daddy’s church. Boy what a slap in the face! Well I called him on the phone later and couldn’t talk as he was at his daddy’s and all.
By the way, his daddy is a Church of God preacher. Boy we weren’t too upset, about ready to slash our wrista.
Gave the Lee’s the 1st and boy was it ever out of it. Made the day even worse. Couple other app. crashed also. Set up a mtg. with Bro. Dawkins’ friend, the Rowes, for tomorrow night. About all real discouraging and out of it. Sac mtg in the evening was real good. Pres. Wildes spoke.
April 25, 1965
Good ol’ D-day. Wrote letters, washed, shopped, and just loafed. Went to the show. Saw Those Calloways. Was real good.
In the evening our first two app. crashed. Then I went with Chip Wildes and gave the Landrons the 1st which was sort out of it. They are Puerto Ricans so I felt right at home. Elder Jeppersen gave the Rowes the 1st and it was also a lost cause. Man the past couple days have really been hell – about ready to pack and go home. Oh well “This too will pass,” our favorite saying.
April 26, 1965
Tracted, looked up move-ins. Gave Sister Hall the 2nd in the afternoon and she is good. Went by the Marretts and got the full story. His daddy found out he was coming to our church and all and there was a fuss so he went with his daddy. Still has a strong testimony and plans to be baptized. Great.
Gave Bro. Hall the 2nd and he is also good. They work all crazy hours so we have to teach them separately. But they are good.
April 27. 1965

Same old stuff. Talked to Marretts, still as solid as ever. Will be to church Sun and we may baptize them. Yay. Real exciting day. About it!
April 30, 1965
Gave zero disc. today. Fist day all week. Nothing real exciting happened.
May 1, 1965
Gave halls the 4th. They aren’t living the Word of Wisdom yet. Gave a young couple by the name of Carters the 1st. They are real good. Then we went over to Moons and watched TV and talked. Then we came home and when Elder Jeppersen called the ZLs he found out he was being transferred to Jax. I don’t know who my new companion will be. They didn’t know either. Oh happy day. Man I hate to see him go.
May 2, 1965
Regular church mtgs. Went with the sisters Hall and Wilcox to S and K and had finner. Was real good. That evening after the primary program, we went with Dawkins to Tony’s and had some goodies. Then we played Scrabble until 1 am. Was real fun.
