*joyfully panicked screams echo in the foreground* or Back in Blacksburg!

hey all,

this week has been one awesome thing after another.  

Tuesday: we went out to Ravenswoodand walked our tails off going to see different people.  didn't really get to see anyone due to the fact that no one was home.  ended up talking to a bunch of people on the way and were able to see potential come of that.

Wednesday: crazy day, we went and saw a few people ..... after the thunderstorms passed, and then went out to the adkins, and shared some scriptures.

thursday: back to ravenswood to see the same people and were able to set up a few things for this next week....

Friday: service at the food pantry in ravenswood, and more walking.  More talking and more things for this week.....

Saturday:  more of the same, and I was told I am leaving.

Sunday: we were able to see a bunch of people and avoid most of the rain.  we also got a text form the Martins saying that we would be able to meet with them at the end of the week.  

monday: back out to ravenswood and said goodbye to the people that are out there.  

See y'all next week from Blacksburg, VA

*panicked screams echo from background* must be transfers.....I want my miumj

hey all,

this one will probably be the longest one that you will get for a while, transfer week and all

Wednesday: we were able to get in and talk with the Martins ( the family that was referred week before last) and had an amazing lesson.  She is dead set on baptism and the he is living the word of wisdom (more on that later) we had gone in and taught the restoration to them both and then answered some questions about the Word of Wisdom and committed them both to live it.  before that we went and taught Joanne, the woman that we I.T.L.ed at the end of last week, and she had a lot of good questions that we were able to answer and tie back to the Plan of Salvation.

Thursday: exchanges, we got to see Joyce and had a great lesson with her before going and trying a few people out in ravenswood.

Friday: meetings all day.

Saturday: we had another amazing lesson with Joanne, and were able to teach a restoration with a review on the plan of salvation.  it was amazing!  then we went back and taught Sister Martin again, and this is what she told us about the few days in between meetings, her husband set out to "prove us wrong" and decided to follow through with the commitment on the word of wisdom.  it ended up helping prove us right.  she told us that she had been able to see multiple changes in her husband as he has lived the word of wisdom.  and she had taught her mom straight out of Moroni 8 on infant Baptism! it was all I could do not to spin cartwheels all the way around the apartment when we got back.

the rest of the past few days was filled with elder grover's goodbyes and packing.  that means that your's truly is staying in ripley for one more transfer! 

see y'all next week,

 Elder Strunk

I want my mummy!

These don't have captions- must not have had something witty to say about them?
