Well what do you know it's
been another 6 weeks! Huh that went by fast. usually does now a day's though :)
so shouldn't really be a surprise to anybody. Well this week I was in Torington
for a day with E. Wilson. It was like most tours I have been on but it was
still good to get out of Bristol for a day have have something different. After
I got back on Wednesday it was rite back to doing service. I believe it was
Friday when we helped sister Dea with her garden. We pulled up a lot of dead
brush and took out a lot of rocks. Beneath the rocks there was some gravel that
we needed to get rid of. so before i got started i was thinking there was
probably going to be maybe an inch deep of gravel and it was maybe 10ft long or
so 3 rows that we were going to do that day and the other 3 another day. Well
little did we know that it was actually morel like 10inches deep! The hole time
i was thinking why in the world did this person need to make a hole this big to
put a rock on top of it???? i still don't have an answer but maybe my dad will.
I mean if he didn't want it to settle I was thinking an inch would be more than
enough but maybe i don't know much about this. Anyway that took a good portion
of that day up and it was a lot of fun still. Saturday was pretty good. We went
to brother artiboni's and he took us to one of his friends house that got hit
pretty bad with the hurricane then the October storm. There is all sorts of
brush and tree limbs everywhere that brother artiboni is getting rid of slowly.
So we helped him get rid of some of that stuff on Saturday. After we were done
he was nice enough to take us to a Mexican restaurant for lunch. I had a steak chimichanga
and it was pretty good actually.
As for lessons, we actually had a member come with us to a lesson on Thursday
after District Meeting. We went and visited with Patti and tried to teach her a
first lesson. She ended up asking us if the ward could help her with some food
because she was struggling. We told her that we would let the bishop know and
he would get everything figured out. When we finally got to talk with the
bishop, we told him the person's situation and the first thing he said was,
" are you talking about Patti". Rite then E. P. and i both were
thinking o crap this is not good if he already knows who were talking about. We
soon found out that she has been around for a while and that she just likes to
use the church to get what she wants. So that put a small damper on our spirits
because we had a date for her and everything, but we dropped that pretty fast.
O well i guess :) no big deal we still got other people we can attempt to
teach.
Well that's pretty much been my week in a quick overview. Sunday went pretty
well, we had some really good speakers and a wonderful dinner with the
Patterson's, Neely's, and Scherer's. We had ham, funeral potatoes, corn,
roll's, jello, and orange roll's. Then for desert we had some strawberry short
cake :). So Sunday went well and it was a pretty good day for sure. Well that's
it for this week. Ill be letting you know next Monday if I'm leaving, getting a
new comp, or if everything is going to stay the same. Till then :) love you all
and have a great week.
