Another week down, and another on it's way.
Monday, we swung by the church, the church was right next
door to the court house and the jail, and there were cop
cars all over with their lights on, so we did what we needed
to then quickly left. Afterwards, we went to a members shop
to wash our car and he told us what he heard had happened,
there was a scare, but it was all over by the time we went
by.
I can't remember what happened Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thursday, we helped our Branch Missionary Leader cut down
some more trees and stuff, and I have decided that if I ever
plant anything extremely thorny, that it will be in a spot I
never plan to change. Well afterwards we had coordination
and we finished planning for the Fireside on Sunday.
Friday, we had district meeting, and I didn't have to
drive because the Reeds had their car back and they always
give us rides to meetings, which I am extremely grateful
for.
Saturday, we were stopping by some less actives, when an
active member called and asked if we could meet them at
Walmart, so we did and they gave us a baked chicken and some
other food. This is the second time they have done this for
us, they are amazing! Well as we were putting the food in
the car Elder Long said "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Bro.
Zellers (our BML) texted us, and asked if we could go to his
fathers farm to help his son, (his son is the one that owns
the shop) and we have to be there in 25 minutes." So we
dashed home to put the food in the fridge, and put service
clothes on, we got back in the car and we just barely made
it on time. When we got there all we ended up doing was
riding in the back of his friend's little Mazda truck as he
showed us around the farm and woods. They have some really
nice land and I really wish I had my camera, but alas no
pictures, next time I will.
Sunday, President and Sister Brough came to Tell City and
spoke in sacrament meeting, and participated in the rest of
church.Then we had a "linger longer" and there was a lot of
really good food. Afterwards, the Reeds had different plans
for the Broughs in between church and the fireside, but they
all fell through. Sister Reed was apologizing to Sister
Brough, but Sister Brough said "That's ok, we just wanted to
drive around and take pictures of the trees." So that all
worked out. At the fireside, we were planning on around 10
or so people coming to this excluding the missionaries and
the Zellers, but we ended up having twenty-five people show
up, it was great! And President is an amazing speaker, he
shared stories of when he was in the air force and how
standing firm in his standers helped him and made it so
others respected him for it. He shared one story of when he
was in the Philippines,
on an off day, he walked up to a group of friends and
asked where they were going to go that day, and one of
them said "Where we're going you can't come, and even if
you wanted to come I wouldn't let you, because I know what
your standards are and I'm the last person that want to
see you lower them."
It was
a great fireside.
Love y'all!
