Week 38

Hey howdy Hey!

First, I've noticed that the people down here don't ever pronounce their TH's.  For example 'i just love stuff like 'at'  "i don't ever go over 'ere"  it's pretty funny.

Anywho, This week was a doosy for crazies.  I was in Paducah KY for a few days on exchanges with the ZL's and man, Kentucky is about what you'd think it would be.  Full of crazy hicks.

First we go to this trailer park looking for a referral and we talk to this guy who was actually pretty cool and really nice, (Which the people were all nice, just crazy) and he told us some houses to check to see if that was the one he lived at.  So we get to this other house and a guy answers without a shirt kinda peeking behind the door, so we talk for a bit and find out he's not the guy and as we are about to leave he kinda walks away from the door and we see that he's completely nude.....  now luckily i turned away when i saw a majority of his white hairless leg, so i didn't see anything bad.  But Elder Hussey (the ZL) saw it...  poor guy. 

And then we went to go give this guy Billy Joe a blessing, Billy joe is the ward crazy.  Billy Joe has the worst shantiest house I've ever beheld.  If you saw it you'd think it should be condemned.  It looked like was was.   Anyways, Billy Joe is just lounging in his one piece.  long story short.  Weird times.

Then we go see this guy who's a vet, and has a dairy and has several race horses.  So he's filthy rich.  He was crazy.  The most crazy of them all.  We even watched him neuter a dog... so that was also weird.   Oh man... all i can say about this guy is i'm glad i'm not in Paducah full time so i don't have to see him again. 

If there is ever anyone who wants to drink or do drugs, send them to this guy and they'll change their minds.

Meanwhile, here in the Foxcroft ward they set a date with Melissa, a lady I found on exchanges last time with the ZL's!  So now we have 3 1/2 with a date!!!  Soon to be more as she has twins that are 13.  then on Saturday we went and did a community service project with her in her town.  so that was really fun and we got to know her a lot better.

Ryan is still doing Awesome! Even his wife is doing well! she was actually going to come to church yesterday but i guess she decided too late and couldn't get ready in time... So next week!  But yeah, Ryan will be baptized on Saturday!

Welp! that's all folks!

Love Ya'll!!!
