Hot!: 8/22/2011

DAG GUM ITS HOT! haha. well not so much now, but the last couple of weeks have been :( 

so on monday i went on exchanges in Leitchfield, KY. (that is the place where the accident happened) the missionaries that got in the accident were ETd to different areas not in our zone. So Elder Ferre and Duke are up there. This is Elder Ferres first time being district leader. so i went up there and showed him the ropes and all that jazz haha. 

Prolly one of the scariest things happened to me up there though. So back track a lil, Leitchfield is 2 hours away from our apartment in Clarksville. the whole ride up there this random person was calling and texting us not so good things. kinda gross. i just asked this person to stop, and they stopped for a lil. so we get to Hartford where we were all meeting (like 30 mins from Leitchfield) and we played football with a family that is investigating. and when we are done, i go check the phone and we have like 20 texts and 4 missed calls from this person. i was like, holy crap! haha. so we called our mission president and he called the person and just said to stop calling my missionaries and so he did. it was weird though. 

so then i went to Leitchfield and had a jolly ol time just walking 24/7 haha. we found like 10 new inv in 2 days though :) so that was good to get them a teaching pool. bcuz they had nothing. 

So the Hartford elders picked us up tuesday night, and we drove down to Clarksville and we slept there. Then wednesday morning we had Zone Conference at 9am. so we got there at 8. turned on the AC and set everything up. it was good. The theme was on Commitment. So i did the training of "a man without eloquence" and taught that we need to be bearing our testimony frequently. just like it says in chapter 11 of PMG (preach my gospel). President loved the video haha. he said he might borrow that someday :) woo! haha. 

then right after zone conference, i went on exchanges with the Hopkinsville elders. it was so weird being back in my GREENIE area haha. Bishop _______ fed us (totally planned that haha) and they all hugged me and his lil girls just loved having me back. it was a good exchange :) 

i saw __________________ (person i baptized) and he is so active. the ward is doing a read the book of mormon in 100 days. so they have a calender they gave everyone, and he is like 3 or 4 days ahead of everyone. he is highlighting the book and everything. And the cool part is that he is doing all of this with the very copy that i handed him on the street when we first contacted him. so awesome how the gospel works :) i love it :) that was the highlight of the week,

oh and also that we set a baptismal date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for this saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!! her name is______. she is 30, single, and loves the gospel!! haha. it was the most hectic lesson ever though bcuz her roommate wanted to come and sit in, and she brought her 3 kids and they were just all over the place. but somehow they felt the spirit and all sat down and we were able to set a date. and the roommate said she wants to get baptized soon too! yay!!!!!! i love when work pays off! haha. 

well i hope yall have a good week! i love yall!! 

p.s. CONGRATS SAM!!!!!! thats so awesome you got the aaronic priesthood!!! i love you!

Peace out girl scouts!
