"you got the keys?" "........"

hey all,

this week was fairly dry (work wise) due to torrential rains and rising rivers in the hollers.  

Tuesday:  rain, rain , and more rain, we went and set up some appointments with less actives and those nearer to the apartment.

Wednesday:  more rain.  we went and did some knocking around our apartment complex.  only other eventful thing that happened was the fact that we managed to lock ourselves out of our apartment.  A nice neighbor was kind enough to card us into our apartment after noticing our plight.  

Thursday: we ha district meeting and then proceeded to try to see Mike, who promptly canceled on us and rescheduled for saturday.......

Friday: nothing more than knocking 

Saturday: we went to try and see Mike who rescheduled again for tuesday, however as we walked back to our apartment we ended up Inviting To Learning a girl who was out running.  


see y'all next week

AY AY AY can't believe it's almost march! (HA PUN!)

hey all, 

the last few days have been fairly slow due to the cancellation of lessons, but we shall not get discouraged!

Tuesday: we went over to try Frank and were actually able to meet with him! It was so cool.  we went over some of the church beliefs and also the beliefs that he has.  it was a good lesson.

wednesday: we went over to the Shamblin's house and had lunch and shared the talk from last general conference about prayer they are so awesome. he has MS so he is unable to come to church but it is always fun to come and see them.

thursday: exchange luck came through again!  nothing went right and we ended up doing a lot of knocking😥

friday: we had district meeting and then went and made attempts to go and see the people of ravenswood.  we were able to talk to a few people but that is about it.  

weather uptdate: (i've decided to do this since I seem to get questions) the Temperature has leveled out into the sixties.  and the clouds are intermittent .  it's interesting.

see y'all next week

that awkward moment when a whiteboard falls in the middle of the night.......

hey all,

Sorry for the late letter.  We got a text saturday night that we would have to switch our P-Day to tuesday because of our interviews. 
wednesday: we had district meeting and were able to have the second ( and most inspirational) district meeting on chapter seven of preach my gospel.  it  is really fun to look at a chapter that at first glance might not have very much relevance in an english speaking mission, but when you get into it you find some of the most helpful things. it goes over (if you take out the word language in all the points) how to develop good study patterns. 
thursday: we went out contacting a few people and were able to have a lesson with the person I told all y'all about a couple of weeks ago.  she seemed really interested and we had a good lesson.
friday: we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders and I went out to charleston for the day.  there was a lot of door knocking involved and we had a great lesson with one of their investigators and also had an amazing lesson with an episcopal preacher.  that ended up with us setting up a tentative return appointment. 
saturday was all knocking all the time.
monday: we went up to see president and had a great interview.  then we went back to our area and had one of the most successful nights of knocking that I have had in a while.  we had two come back laters and were able to place two Book of mormons.  It was all in all a good day.
As for the title- just as it said..... the other night while we were sleeping a whiteboard fell off the wall and made a loud noise, scaring the bejeebers out of me and not even fazing elder grover.
See y'all next week
