well i have some news for everyone. i'm staying here with elder Hall. but i'm also getting another elder with us. his name is elder Hines. i've met him a few times, but i don't know much more to say. but ill let you know next week. i was not too suprised with grandma going to the nursing home, i was kind of expecting it. but i think it sounds good that she'll move in with pam though. that way she has someone there to help her.

well it's still cloudy here, probably will get some rain today again. we've been getting rain alot as it is. monday during study it was a downpour outside and luckily by the time we got out it was good. well this week was very discouraging, we would go out and come in and nothing happened all day. we just couldn't get appointments to keep. it was very annoying. on sunday me and elder hall spoke on missionary work. and then the stake mission leader spoke as well. he's a character. i spoke on fear and faith tied into missionary work, it went all right, didn't go the way i wanted. but i think i got the point acrossed. saturday, notoway county did this thing called relay for life and it was a fundraiser to stop cancer, the church had a booth there so we went there and helped out for a bit. it went fairly well. then later that day we had a lesson with a media referal. she was awesome. she asked us a lot of questions about the church, and she is geniunely intersted. it was great.

there was also this older man we met he was outised and told us he had a stroke three year ago and it was really bad and barely survived. he was from puerto rico and as we finished the street we walked back and he was sitting underneath the tree. it turned out his leg gave out from under him and he couldn't get back up. so we helped him up and helped him walk back to his house and then his wife showed up and after that he expressed his thanks and it reminded me alot of bro. thompson. but it was so amazing because he said he was praying that we would come back by and help him, and we did. I know we were suppossed t be there, because his wife would have needed help to get him up and yet we were there to help. well i'll be sure to write grandma and give her some good news. i don't know much else to say right off but take care. and have a good day.
