Week 18

Well Shoot son! hows it going family? 

This is the week of thanksgiving!  A wonderful time for Families to grow stronger together and to give thanks for all that they have been given!

This past week was pretty good.  We saw Jan, she's an older lady with a really strong southern accent (but not too strong where i can't understand her at all) and talks Re-uhl-ly sl-ow and a-uhdds alot of syllables to all her words, its pretty funny.  Anyhow, she's probably gonna get baptized here in the next month!  a few weeks ago we had a lesson with her and watch "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration" at the Floyds house and our plan was to invite her to baptism right after the movie, but the Floyds Wouldn't have it!  Jock (the guy who is an eternigator) kept trying to subtly bash Mormons for some reason, it was ridiculous... And then Sister Floyd goes of on some tangent for forever long that doesn't have anything to do with anything...  So after that night we decided to try and teach Jan at her house without the Floyds...  So we did, and it went really well and she believes the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith so we were about to extend the baptismal commitment and her daughter comes in with her boyfriend and kinda killed the moment.  But we'll get her next time! ;)

I've walked by the place where i crashed a few times this week....  that Cursed Spot of Satan!!  i was tempted to dust that place, but I restrained myself.

I sometimes think that the mission has forgotten about Lewisburg though...  At least our zone has...  We usually get the ensign at like transfer meeting's or just other meetings where all the missionaries go and give them out and they have the place where they go on the front of it.  But there was no Lewisburg...  And on conference calls they never call lewisburg for roll call...   Oh well, maybe they'll remember us once we get a few more baptism's.

Elder Perkins Came to the mission this past week, he spoke in conference in October.  It was a Really good meeting and I learned a lot. 

Oh and also I met someone who served his mission in Boise Idaho!! He even went to Nampa for a few transfers!  He was a Spanish Missionary though so i doubt any of y'all knew him.  His name would've been Elder Gustavo.  So that was pretty fun.

But I'm about out of time, So until next time my dear avid readers! Adieu
