off road carrolla..... not a wise Idea....

hey all, 

this week has been a long one.  but a good one.

Wednesday:  we went out and tried to see a few people.  and with the rain I found out very quickly I had walked a hole in all both of the shoes that I have........ so we ended up running to wally world to grab me a new pair of shoes.

Thursday we went out to Ravenswood and then to Racine to find some less actives, and ended up finding a cool guy in Ravenswood.... he liked to talk.... and we also got to sit down the butlers again.  

friday:  we did a lot of service and were able to see a few people in ravenswood and then tracted a little bit.....

that is really all this week. nothing much else to talk about.  

see y'all next week

Mom speaking- I would guess this is the car from the title of the post, but I have no idea what it means. Stay tuned for when I get a response about this...

farmer's tans and angry beepers.......

hey all, 

sorry for not emailing yesterday but we had interviews, which takes up most of the day.  

Tuesday: we walked a lot the last week so this is the only time I will mention it, but we went and were able to cross a few people off of our to-see list because they were home and would not answer the door, even though we saw them peak out of the window.........  We were also able to see Frank! he is an Awesome sometimes-catholic who is an honest seeker of truth, we shared the Easter video with him and had a talk about how Christ can help those who are searching for answers.

Wednesday: we went and saw the Adkins family (da da dada *snap snap*) then we went out to Evans and tracted for a little while, invited a bunch of people to our church tour that we had planned for Sunday (insert frustrated sigh here) more about that later.  we also got to see a potential and set up a lesson for Friday.  it was awesome.

Thursday: we tried a lot of people and all of the set stuff ended up falling through........

Friday: we went out to Ravenswood and were able to see roger, an older gentleman who we talked to on Monday.  we were able to teach him the restoration and were able to help him understand the need for prophets.

Saturday, we had district meeting then went back out to Ravenswood to try and see a few people and talked to a lot of people that were out walking.

Sunday: Elder Goold got sick and so we only went to sacrament meeting then, when he was feeling better, we went out and set up for our church tour.  (one person showed up....)

Monday: only thing that really happened excitement wise was when I got a dressing down by the woman behind me for needing to change lanes last minute (i'm sorry, but you try driving around Charleston for the first time with only a GPS and a bit of faith) needless to say I got the bird and honked to death

see y'all next week

Another view. A no sew wonder!

stubborn Pentecostals and a Chocolate Festival

hey all,

this week has been great.  we have seen many people and started losing weight! 

Tuesday: we walked about twelve miles and were able to see a few potentials: Terry (an older woman who had been taught by sisters in the past) was not able to see us but did answer the door (which was nice), and Jesse (a semi-crazy middle aged woman who has had several tragedies strike her recently) and talked to her on her porch for about twenty minutes about many subjects.  

Wednesday: we walked about another eight miles and saw Joyce White and were able to set up an appointment for this Tuesday.  we also made a number of posters and signs for the Easter initiative.

Thursday: we went and saw the Shamblins and showed them the Easter initiative.  Then we helped them share it.  We then went out to Fareplane and saw a few people that were out that way, nothing really happened out there, but we aren't giving up.

Friday: Everything fell through.  it was a lot of walking and talking.......

Saturday:  we went and did a lot of walking and talking at the WV Chocolate Festival, which may-or-may-not-have ended with me about five dollars poorer then when we entered.

Sunday: mostly walking and a lesson with Joann Meadows, or rather a session of "we are just explaining what we believe, not trying to push anything on you" with her friend *shakes fist in the general direction of Lewisburg* who has been trying to counter all of our teaching with her Pentecostal stubbornness.

*sighs* rant over, see y'all next week,

Puns, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and the days of yore

Hey all,

this week is a blur, we had many things go on and a lot of interesting experiences.... ONWARD!

Tuesday: is a blur, we went and tried a few people and tracted in the rain.  interesting experience from that is the fact that my umbrella broke (which would kind of deter me from wanting to rain tract again, Darn you satan.) and a few minutes later, as we went by a house that we had knocked on earlier,  the guy who had said that he wasn't interested walked out and gave me a new umbrella (thanks heavenly father :) )

Wednesday: we went out to Ravenswood and tried everyone that we knew and had one person answer. Travis Casto is a good guy and willing to Read the Book of Mormon.  plus he has two GIANT and BEAUTIFUL Great Danes, Molly and Rose.    it was a good day though because we were able to decide on the videos for a Fireside that we are working on. 

Thursday: Zone Conference! New little black boxes, Now with female voice (which is so much harder for me to get angry at for some strange reason).  

Friday: service and a whole lot of invitations to conference.  we were able to see Hannah again, and talk to her.  she is still interested, but her ex-Husband won't let her daughter even hear our message.... dang pentacostals,,,,,,,

Saturday: we went to conference and were hoping for somebody to show up, but no one did....

sunday: back to the church, then back to the apartment to get the phone (25 mi) back to ravenswood to watch conference ( 12.5 mi) then back to the apartment for dinner (12.5 mi) 

favorite talk was either Joaqin costa or elder holland

see y'all next week
