Well, transfers are Thursday
this week so it's finally P-DAY! You ready for the overload of awesomeness?
Neither was I, so here we go!
Another rough week but
getting better every time. All I can say is President Salisbury is on top of
things and doesn't mess around! He's pretty cool.
The weather has been
high 60's to mid 70's. The leaves are starting to change color and fall to the
floor. The storms have gotten bigger and cooler. Our power has been going out
more.
Sister Stone is
leaving me to head to Ashland, Kentucky (they have the nicest apartments in the
mission). My upcoming companion's name starts with a "W" and that's
pretty much all I know. I forgot her name and they didn't know too much about
her. Elder Kleiman is going home....shocker. Elder Bingham is going to be
training!!!!
Pulaski High School
FOOTBALL! Yeah we got to go. A member plays and we're starting to teach his
friend so I foresee a few football games in these next 6 weeks :) I LOVE
FOOTBALL!
Investigators:
There were 5 at
church.
Sandra is close to
finding a job which hopefully means close to moving out of her boyfriends house
so she can be baptized. He's the member, but he's a butt and a half about her
moving out or them getting married. It's not like he's hindering her Eternal
Salvation or anything.
Scott was able to come
to Sacrament and has been reading more, but we haven't actually taught him in a
week because of his schedule. It's not fair!
Michelle and Jo love
us and have been asking awesome questions about the Gospel. They'll never
convert of course, but that curiosity is gonna get 'em if they're not
careful!
Juniper is cute as
ever and they all came to church again!!!!
Maizy is the friend of
the football player. She's super down to earth and really wants to know more.
We don't know how much of it has to do with how cute she thinks said football
player is......but we'll find out :)
Jeffery, Junior, and
Paige came to church with Bobbie Sue. That's the whole family right there!
Jeffery loved it, but he wants to come a few more times before really getting
into lessons and moving forward. I can respect that. He also admitted he
listened to all the lessons anyways :) He's a funny guy and I'm excited to see
him really start to grow now. Junior made me the brush that I'm sending
pictures of. He found the squirrel on the side of the road and stapled it onto
the brush and carved my name into it. We're in the Appalachian's!!!!!!!!! Don't
get much better than this!
E.H. is less-active
because of work, but his girlfriend has been taking the lessons. He just
started a new job that will allow him to not work on Sunday's anymore. She
allowed us to pass her information to the missionaries in her area. She really
seems to love reading the scriptures and learning more.
Laura came over to
dinner at a member's house because she saw a picture of Jesus they had and
started asking about their religion. Laura has never felt "home" at a
church and just wants to follow Christ. She cried just talking about him and
wants to be baptized. We haven't even taught her anything yet......but she's
always been "drawn" to learn more about Mormons. I guess now she
knows why. She was our miracle Sunday night. At the beginning of the week we
set a goal to have one miracle and I knew something awesome was going to
happen. It was Laura :)
The Morgan's had an
awesome bonfire for us and there were lots of people there and 3 non-members
and 4 less-actives. It was so much fun and we got to play with the kids
clearing out the garden that morning! Those kids are awesome.
The bonfire was
awesome. 6 feet tall and hot as anything. Then a huge thunder and lightning
storm started crashing right above our heads. Most people left at that point
but it was awesome. I love the storms here.
Pulaski and Dublin are
BLOOMING! People have been talking about this "big change" coming and
I feel like we're at the very top of the slide waiting to get the little push
we need! I love you all!

Best:
1. Caramel popcorn.
2. It's really cooling
down.
3. The trees are so
pretty!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst:
1. Being a missionary
isn't fun all the time.
2. I really want a
bonfire on the beach now.
