Sup everybody?
Well we had quite the week!
The weather has been pretty bi-polar but nothing we can't handle!
Starting today campus is back in sessions so we are most definitely
excited for that! Yay for more people to teach! Last Monday for P-day we
went over to a member's home and they cut our hair and then went and
got one of our investigators so that we could have a meal with her in
their home! They are super awesome and helpful. We have some sweet
member hook-ups. I got my hair cut there and there is another lady that
took in my suit pants and sewed a button on for me. It's not that I'm
incapable... I just prefer to use my resources (:
Tuesday I crossed my 5 month mark and while we were
walking back from an appointment some members offered us a ride which we
took and then they took us out to dinner! Heck yes! Gotta love that!
Wednesday we visited a less-active member's home.
Thursday we had an appointment cancelled by an
investigator because she was going to have to put down 1 of her 8 cats
and she wanted to spend more time with it before the end of it's life.
Anyways this inspired me to take pictures of cats so I will include them
in my weekly letters.
Friday we were talking with some hillbillies and I got a picture of a sweet tattoo that I'm thinking about getting.
“I’m gonna get ‘er filled in with red!”
Saturday
started out as a pretty normal day going here and there for
appointments. About 3 o' clock we headed to Richmond, Kentucky to St
Marks Catholic Church. President Woodbury said that we could go to a
concert there. The concert happened to be a Donny Osmond concert!
We
showed up and there was a way long line inside but as we walked in a big
tall security guy was like "come with me" and we went right passed
everybody! We got 2nd row seats because there were 2 zones there (about
50 missionaries). The concert was super good. At the end they told us to
stay put while everybody else left and then Donny came back out and
took a picture as a group and talked to us for awhile. He signed Elder
Carly's tie.
We weren't supposed to take pictures because we were
supposed to enjoy the moment so now I don't really have any proof but
they are supposed to email us some pictures. He was very proud of
winning Dancing with the Stars.
Sunday the new Elder in our ward was supposed to talk
but they were sick. In the middle of sacrament Bishop was like "Elder
Denton is going to be speaking instead" so I had about 5 minutes to
prepare a talk. It was only 5 minutes and it was on Faith and Repentance
so it was pretty easy. I got up there and started talking about
Spiderman and how he used the talents that God had given him for good
and that it probably took faith for him to change back to a good guy
after going bad in Spiderman 3. I felt like it went a lot better than
the talk that I had had time to prepare. Later that day we walked to
some appointments because it wasn't raining very much but then on our
way back it was pouring.... so we got soaked. Oh, Missionary life.
Good wisdom from the Book of Mormon: Mosiah 26:30
