all of the miles in the world we had to run out here....

hey all,

this week was a week of very achy feet and interesting circumstances.  we ran out of miles on tuesday and were walking most of the week, though there were some cool circumstances that followed, which will (if I don't forget....) be mentioned later.

ethan and amber are doing great.  we had a review of the plan of salvation with them and helped to clarify things that they didn't even know that they were confused on!  It was awesome to be able to see the things that we explained click and fall into place.  

we were able to see the rivas and got to re-pick-up Lenny, the boyfriend of one of the daughters, and re-teach the first lesson.  It went fairly well and I hope that it will continue and he will stick it through.  

in other news while we were walking the other day, we were able to see a family that is usually hit or miss, and we chatted and shared the restoration with them and helped them move their entertainment system out to the driveway so that they could get it sold.  after we had finished talking with them we went to see someone else, who turned out not to be home.  We walked back to our apartment to get hydrated before continuing the work and ended up running into a woman who joined the church ten years ago and was looking to get back to activity and leave her past behind.  she told us that she had hitch hiked all the way from LA! and was waiting for her parents to come and pick her up and take her home to Roanoke.  we sat and talked with her for a little while and I told her a little about  the Roanoke ward and was able to give her my mini book of mormon so that she could carry it with her on the trip, since she had left her copy in new mexico.

the other interesting thing that happened is that my companion got rear-ended by a German shepherd  and has some battle wounds to tell everyone about it. (as for the German shepherd rear ending, he was the last one on the porch when the member we were with knocked on the door (which was cracked,  the Less actives were asleep and so the dog, as soon as it heard the knock, came bolting out in full protection mode and Elder Hunsaker was the first person in sight. so he got bit.)

well that's all for this week. 

see y'all in approx. 521,280 minutes
