hey everyone
yeah this week has been intesrting and frustrating. that family i told you about last week fluffed off. they weren't there so we both were pretty bummed. then i got sick monday. more of a cold like flu. mostly my stomach been alittle upset, and i've been exhausted. yesterday i woke up and were suppossed to exersice thirty minutes each morning, all i did was stretch. i was exhausted. so it wasn't to fun. well i'm glad your feeling better. i'm feeling much better today as well, just a sore throat now.
well wensday we had a lesson with a investigator who has the nickname mad-dog hersey. she in her 60's, and she a retired police officer, from washington d.c. she also was on survior, so that was intersting. the lesson went fairly well, she seems very intersted. she has took lessons before and last time she was running for sheriff, then she found out that basically all the members lived in the other county and so she stopped taking the lessons. she really does seem intersted, so no worries this time.
friday we had a zone meeting and that was pretty fun. theres a funny story with that. it's elder neilson's last transfer, so i waned to make a joke to him. when he walked in i said, hi elder neilson, you trunky yet. he said in a fast, annoyed voice, no! trunky means basically your packed and ready to go home, no longer care about missionary work. so it was pretty fun.
satyrday we did some service and raked up some leaves. made me wonder if jill is helping dad with them this year.
heres a cool story we tracted into this older woman a while back and as were were talking with her she kept taking about her neice that lived with here. she has two kids and so we decided to go back, felt like we needed to talk to her neice. it was cold that day and we started to talk with her. we tried to make it brief but she was very intersted. and we talk with her for a while. we set up a time to come back and that lesson was amazing. we committed her to read the book of mormon and to pray to know if it's true. she said, i already feel it ius true. it was amazing.
well that basically we had this week. hope you keep feeling better. tomorrow we have one place were going, with a part member. wife's the member but the husband just got back from being on a ship for a month. he's in the navy. they also have a two year old son that for some reason reminds me of the stories i herad when i was that age. he also loves trains. so i talk with you later. have fun tommorrow.
