Dear reader, I have run out of clever
ways to start my letters, I do apologize. ;)
Well the same old happened Monday
through Wednesday, so I'll start there.
Wednesday evening, We started an
exchange and I went up to Jasper, Indiana with our district leader,
and since he is in his last transfer I got to drive. Quick note on
that, several months ago, President Brough made a new rule, when you
are on your last transfer you are not allowed to drive. This came
because missionaries, right before they would go home, would do
stupid things with the car, like going 100 mph, and things like that.
Okay, back to my week.
Thursday, was a busy day, we taught
several lessons, to investigators, active members, and less active
members, it was a fun day. And I'm not as bad at driving as I thought
I would be for doing very little of it for the past eighteen months,
I just need to work on my parallel parking. I also learned that if
the shifter is in the center console, you need to keep a close eye on
it, because if you're at a stop and while you're not looking, the
passenger might shift it into neutral. Let's just say I smacked him
in the chest.
Friday, we had Zone Meeting, and it was
good, and it was nice being able to see everyone from my old
district. Well we ended the exchange, and the Reeds, who were our
ride, took us out to lunch afterwards, they are so good to us.
Saturday, we spent a good chunk of the
day helping our branch mission leader and his son as they were
clearing out trees and shrubs, and that is a lot of fun, except that
there were massive thorn bushes and thorny vines everywhere! Well we
were making some good progress, but then their chainsaw dulled and
they couldn't find their tool to sharpen it. So we decided to burn,
yes burn, the thorn bushes, and the dead stuff underneath. No Mom, I
did not start any fires, I just made sure they didn't get out of
hand, and yes all you pyro's, I did get video. So we worked on that
until dark, and we will be helping them again later this week.
Sunday, church was good. We saw some of
our regular Sunday people, and we set up for a Relief Society
Activity.
So that's my week, hope y'all have a
good one
Love,
Elder Durrant
Great Kentucky Louisville Mission
