Week 96

So holy cow, we've only got 2 more weeks, but I still don't think it's hit me, maybe it will on my transfer day.

But this week we did alot of moving people, so that was good. I always enjoy getting to help people move.  Also this week someone took us out to dinner at a local diner which is famous for their burger called the Triple By-pass...  So that's what i had.  It was wild how big this sucker was, and even wilder that i finished it.  I'm still digesting that monster.  Just thought i'd mention that. :)

So i gave my farewell talk yesterday, which makes a total of 3 talks i've given in this ward.  It was about Being Converted versus being fully converted.  

The past 2 weeks at church we've had several college kids come to our sacrament meeting, probably for some course they're taking, but still its cool that they chose our church to visit.

Well, that's all i got for now

Love Ya'll

Week 95

Well, this week has been pretty slow... Started off with P-day, so not much got done.   Then we had my last Zone Conference, so I gave my departing testimony, that was pretty crazy... this being my last transfer didn't hit me until then.  Zone Con lasted all day so nothing got done that day.

Anyhow, then Elder Dalton got sick, so not much got done on Wednesday.  Then the rest of the week no one was home as per the usual...  

But we did have 6 non members at sacrament meeting!  So that was pretty cool.  Most of them were college students who came to get a requirement done though... But still they came.

Welp, i ain't got nothing else... So 

Love Y'all

Week 94

This week was pretty good, kinda... We had a booth at the county fair every night this last week, which may seem like a good thing, except that the place our booth was assigned was pretty much hidden that we didn't even get to talk to anyone who was interested the first 3 days there...  the weekend brought a couple of people though, so the fair wasn't a Total bust.

We also had exchanges with the ZL's last week, so i was with Elder Carlson, my MTC companion...  We both go home in a month so having him around kinda made me trunky...  Silly exchanges.

While tracting this week we found a lady who seems really interested and is looking for a church, so we invited her to come to ours, and I really thought she was going to come, but she didn't... We'll see her tonight or tomorrow.

Well, that's all I can think of.

Love Y'all!

Week 93

So this week was pretty crazy.  We had two tornado warning's complete with siren's going off.  The first had a TON of lightning, like almost constant to where it was basically bright enough to see and do whatever outside,  But no tornado touched down.   

  The second one however happened during the day, it was completely calm and nice outside when we got the text saying there was a tornado warning until whatever time, then slowly it starts to get cloudy and windy and stuff, the sky turns greenish and we look out our side door, and we see a huge foggy cloud of rain coming at us... Super hardcore rain for like 15 minutes and super windy.  then the ZL's called with a member telling us to go and sit in the tub cause there was a tornado that touched down in murray.  So I guess you could say that crap got real...  But we lived, so it's all good.  The funny part about it was that the only person from our ward who texted to check up on us was a less active that we see every once in a while...  we had more people worried about us in the adjacent wards... Ha.

In other news, our ward split yesterday, not because we had too many member's but because there was another building that the church had already built a long time ago that they decided to use again.  So now our ward will have like 50 active people or so...  things are gonna be really different around here.

Clint Proposed this week!  So they should be getting married soon so Jessi can get baptized.

Thomas Jones, my first convert, is going through the temple this saturday too!!! So hopefully i can find someone who can take us there for it, but I have my doubts now that the ward just got halved.

Well, That's all for now!

Love Ya'll

Week 92

Well, i'm staying here in Murray with Elder Dalton, so he's gonna be killing me off.  

Some big'ish news, they are making a new unit in our stake soon!  this next sunday we'll be going to the stake center to hear about where it'll be and such.    We already have a building that wasn't in use for a while that I think they will put it at.  It's in a place called Possum Trot....  haha..

Clint (Jessi's boyfriend and the greenes son) has finally gotten a ring!  So he's gonna propose really soon apparently.

We get to take the Old people to walmart this week...  Haha, that should be fun.  

  

Well, that's all I got today guys...

Love Ya'll!

Week 91

That's all that is left...  It's super crazy to think about.  

We saw Wesley again this week, this visit was a bit more confrontational I suppose.  We think his preacher may have been talking to him cause he ask's these super out there question's that someone like him would never come up with on his own.  So next time we see him i'm gonna get the truth out of him, and then give him the truth....

This week at the old people place we did another outing... We took them to the Murray State Arboretum,  just a big ol' garden place...  It's actually pretty nice there, though it was pretty hot and humid that day.  Nothing really crazy happened with the old people this time.

Well... there's not much else that is noteworthy to mention.  So ya'll get another small email.

Love Ya!

Week 90

I went back to Paris for exchanges again,  But this time i was with Elder Massey.  He's really cool.  We didn't see like anyone though... No one was home ALL day, it was lame.

  

Other then that we finally were able to see Jessi again, she still really wants to get baptized and Clint is finally thinking about proposing so she can get baptized.  

Well... Other then that, i really can't think of anything that was noteworthy enough to write about.  I'm sure there was something, but not that i can remember.  

Love Ya'll!
