Drums and a Jazz Organ Funeral

Hey all,
  this week has been pretty cool.  we have been visiting members throughout the week and have been lucky enough to find the lovely members that are within walking distance from each other (yay less miles on the odometer)  they mostly didn't answer and so we will keep trying.  As for Bonnie, I think that she was just being nice when she first answered her door, because we haven't seen hide nor hair of her since we first saw her.  then there's Chris, he was just kind of there to state what he believed. as soon as we started to teach him the Restoration however, he dropped us |(. (grumpy face)  we have and appointment today @ six for a less active that we knocked on earlier this week.  we were told by the members that her husband was atheist, so this should be fun.  the weather here is definitely changing,  the temps are now in the thirties every morning and the days are usually in the sixties.  no snow yet but a lot of frost.  other than that it has been a week of knocking, talking, and "just keep walking"
Oh! before I forget.  one of the members of our ward passed away in her sleep this last week and the funeral was on Saturday.  which since most of her family is black (and Pentecostal) it made for a really interesting funeral. The first part was the fact that they played a jazz organ and drums whenever a musical number was played and then the preacher burst into song in the middle of his sermon so, that was interesting.  the message was good, though you had to be listening really closely to the preacher in order to hear it.  and then there were the 1'x3' speakers that were lined up above every Pew which made it so we left with cotton ear. (A liitle different then funeral services that he is used to attending.)h
hope to see y'all next week
