Area: Jackson
Howdy howdy,
To start it off last Thursday we had a really good district Council! We talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon! Why do we need to have a testimony of it and how does having a testimony help us in our missionary efforts!? I have to say the spirit was pretty strong! Right after the district council we ended up having to move the apartment out that the elders in Chillicothe used to be in before they closed the area, but we didn't know until right before so we ended up having to move everything out in our suits! It was also very hot! That evening we had a dinner appointment at the Detty's! We love going there! They're from out West so the food always tastes good! Haha!

Friday, of course to start he day we had Footer Friday for lunch!! For some odd reason this week they were spectacular! After weekly planning we ran up to Chillicothe for interviews with the Stratfords! That's always a good time! After that we headed over to the Cruses to go to the funeral with them. The funeral for the little boy I mentioned last week. I have to say it was the first non Latter day Saint funeral I have been to. Although it was half and half, our branch President conducted. It's sad because many of the people there have no idea about the message of peace that we will see him again. Afterwards we went out for dinner with the Maquindangs and Cruses to McDonald's! Haha it was a good time!

Early morning Saturday we went and helped the Cruses and Maquindangs set up for a yard sale! They had a ton of stuff. Later that day we went and stopped by Nathaniel to see how he was and invited him to church! He's going through a hard time and is very grateful when we go and see him! I hope he comes around sometime soon! That night we had dinner with the Pariseau's! That's always a good time! They're such an awesome family. Their dogs are fun to play with, they have two great danes and a chiwawa! all 1 and under. Haha

Highlight of Sunday was testimony meeting! The whole branch presidency bore testimony and each was wonderful. The grandfather of the boy who passed was the one that really hit me. He talked about the importance of teaching the gospel to our children. His son had a testimony of the gospel even though he wasn't active but through the experience of what they went through he knew his son would come back. It was really powerful. That night we had dinner with the Plymales and shared a message about abiding in Christ! It was sweet because they even asked for talks and references so they could learn and grow! What great members!
Monday, in the morning we got to go to a members son's football game! The son is not a member but she wants us to teach him so we went to support him! It was fun to watch! Even though it got called early because of the heat! So we decided to go weed and lay mulch for one member and then scoop poop for another in the heat!! Haha I was dripping wet!!

Tuesday morning we finished off the barn at the Plymales getting all the cow crap outta there. Haha Then we had a meeting for our booth with the Allison's and got a bunch figured out and had a family history class to finish that night!! It was a pretty good week! Oh also we got a couple more tiny turtles this week! I think the big ones are getting smart! Haha!
