anybody know what happened to winter?

hey all,

this week has been picking up as we have been able to get in and actually see a few people.  though if it isn't one thing it's another and we have had investigators getting sick as we've just recovered 😥.   I'll try to come up with the days that stuff actually happened. 

wednesday:  we had an exchange and I went up to spencer.  it was fairly cool to meet some of the people that live in that area and see the impact the gospel is having in their lives.

friday: we went to the food pantry and were able to speak with a less active that had been attending church since she was four, but had been shunned out of the church when she had some issues with chastity.  then we were able to set up an appointment with the butlers, an awesome catholic family that offered to feed us dinner and ask us some questions about our faith. 

monday:  we were asked to go give a blessing to Matt Rhodes, a returned missionary less active, to help him with a sickness that he had contracted.  we were able to talk with him and share a message about having a firm foundation in the gospel and he then dropped the bomb on us that he had put an offer in for a house in charleston and would be getting word whether or not he would be getting the house that evening.  he's a great guy and we hate to see him go. 

tuesday: we were able to see mike White, and talk with him about the gospel of Jesus Christ.  the lesson went very well and we were able to clear up much of his confusion on the subject of the plan of salvation as well so, basically, we taught two lessons in one (with tangents).

that is all that has been going on this week. 

oh! before I forget.  I am staying in the area so you can get over your transfer panic now.

See y'all next week,
