I dont know why but this week was a long week. Monday night we had exchanges. it was alot of fun. I went to Oak Grove with Sister Shaw. She is so sweet! Love her! Of course exchanges never ever go as planned but they are always fun. Tuesday morning sister shaws ward was practicing for an open house luai (I have no idea if that is spelled right...) so we went to that and i watched them all. it was so funny to see all the missionaries dancing there were about 15 of them. When we were leaving we got a call from some of the sisters who had a sick companion. so after dancer practice had run over late we went to the store to get some stuff for the sister who wasnt feeling well. She just got here mid transfer. She is from Fuji going to Africa but got reassigned here. I think the crazy food here made her sick:( anyway shes real sweet and I love love love her companion... Its Sister McGrath! She served in the madison ward as my STL for my first 2 transfers. I was happy to see her again. We ate dinner with this sweet as pie couple who had recently moved from Utah. We watched Daytons legs with them and taled to them about sharing online.
Wednesday we had Zone District Mtg. I'd never had that because the Jackson Zone was too spread out but it was alot of fun. We talked about finding invesigators rather than discovering them. How do we find? well one way is with YOUR help! Yes yall that are home. Help the missionaries find. WE nedd Ya'll! Since Sis Sellers cuts hair, After luch the Sand Hill sister got a free hair cut. We went with Jamie Graham to visit a guy we met tracting. it was going well until we were praying with him and some man came in his car and started yelling at him! It was Crazy! So we left quickly. I felt bad for him.
Thursday we went to teach russell! He is Awesome but very logical. We beagan teaching him the plan of salvation. he had Lots of questions! Deborah picked us up and took us to visit Alexis and sister Lang which was great. Sister Lang has a home health nurse who is a member but not active so we are going to try and visit with her soon. she was very very kind. In the evening after it had been unbareably hot these huge black clouds came over us and it was wayy dark and windy suddenly. that happened while we were tracting so we had to stop early and decided to visit Tania. She wasnt home but her sister who is less active was and she talked to us more than she ever has before! It was so so wonderful!
Friday was a good fully packed day. In the evening we went with the bishops wife to go VT and have dinner it was wonderful. We went to bishops to discuss with him a few people. We have a wonderful bishop and he helps us out alot.
Saturday we helped sister D. Tolbert with cleaning out her rental house. when we arrived there was another lady there who wasnt a member and we got to talk with her about the gospel. She knew a few people and went through the Nauvoo temple when it was open to the public!!! how cool! When went to the Ishee's It started thundering and then pouring . fortunately we were inside and thought it would passs. after a wonderful lesson with JJ we headed out and it was still raining. Tracting in the rain is no bueno... oh well we were soaking wet and no one wanted to talk to us crazies. in the evening we went to the williams and they gave us fresh eggs! our members are so so good to us! then they also drove us home so we wouldnt have to walk. We share the car with the elders and they had it.
Yesterday we got told last minute we would be teaching class! fun. it turned out pretty good.
After lots of tracting we went to the Bennett's for dinner its a Less active/ Part member family and the lesson wes great. everyone participated!
I'm doing well. The weather is back to being hot and humid! yay! I love yall! Have a great week.
