Wild Week!

Well I'm as hot as a firefly in summer!

Its getting really hot and the humidity has just settled in and we are sweatin like cows. Its fun tho. This week was really wild, i was up in west Frankfurt Illinois and Foxcroft Illinois this week. We have a companionship that is about to go MMA on each other so i went up there for a while. We got things straightened out and now they are on their way to having some great success. we met up in the middle between the two areas and ended up in Vienna Illinois at a McDonald's and had a little chat but we forgot something so they brought it to us but they accidentally got on the freeway ramp when they weren't supposed to because it was too outta the way so i backed them down the entire freeway entrance. good publicity for the Church huh ha ha Jolley has it on camera. This weekend was really fun, we have this placed called heaven which is right where the Ohio and The Tennessee river meet, well we went and talked with a few people Saturday night and found some new investigators and caught a fish it was so wild. So just about every other day we have been teaching Larry and his family(Tasha Christina and Robert) they are so sweet but have a long way to come. We are helping them overcome their addictions and other impurities, but since day one they have progressed insurmountably. I love this family and im so sad to leave them this will have been my first family to get baptized together on my mission. but the work of the Lord goes on with or without me here. this morning we played volleyball again and it was wild. more people show up every week and now we have our stake President coming to play with us next week ha ha its gonna be so fun. Later this afternoon we are going up to Illinois to go fishing with some other missionaries. its gonna be sweet but hope ya'll have a good week and enjoy the cold weather while it lasts. Love ya'll.

It tastes so good you'll wanna slap ya'lls mama!

We hey there

So this week has been so wild. First off we had Zone Conference this week down in Murray Kentucky. It was really good. The whole focus of the conference was about Faith and the ministering of angels. Study moroni chapter 7 and it is chalked full of Faith and the ministering of angels. we got to give our traing about having the faith to find and how it relates to a four leaf clover. The entire zone got a four leaf clover from us and from that training 5 dates were set this weekend. We set 3 of them with this family. It was so sweet. Larry, Tasha, and their son Robert all agreed to get baptized on the 12th of June which is too bad that im not gonna be here but im glad that they have committed themselves to the Lord. We had the Annual Paducah Stake day of Service this saturday. We got up about 6:00 in the AM and headed to the Methodist Church for some Grub right before we started to work. I was in charge of Building a Deck and i got 3 other people to help me with it. WE almost got it all finished but we ran outta wood before we gots to the end. It was really fun, we work for about 6 hours getting everything done, Jolley was in charge of building sides for one of the trailors and makin it all pretty like. Friday we went over to The O'brians and we help Bro. O. put in his hardwood floor in his new house. we laid about 100FT of beautiful hardwood floor in about 3 hours, and then his wife who is from Russia fed us the best meal. well we got home about 5 in the PM and we had a message on our phone of a lady who said she had dinner waiting on the table for us to eat but we were still 20 minutes away, so still sweaty and dirty we went into Illinois and had dinner with sister Adams and it was phenominal but we were so full from the first meal that we were just packin it down. We left their so full. We check this out, we went over to a less actives house who we had never met and they invited us in (mom, daughter and son) well they were cooking dinner and refused to let us go until we had tried some of their spaghetti. I about passed out. but we were nice and only tried a little of it so we would not die. ha ha but this week has been really good. We are finally starting to get to know the ward. We cover 6 counties and its so hard to see all the active members cause they live so far outta town but we are getting to it. I love ya'll and hope this week has been faithfilled for ya'll. It was for me and i can't wait to see what happens here in the next couple of weeks. Love y'all.
