Week 11

actually, kinda a weird week, I'm going to skip a few days, as, nothing reportable really happened.

I shall start with Thursday!
Richard Jones, who is AWESOME! and is already doing all kinds of missionary work! Took us to him home town, which, has probably NEVER been knocked or even seen my any missionaries, ever!  With that said, it was a great day! we talked to the world! people are so much more willing to listen when they have never seen us before! and when we assure them that we are not J-dubs!  It was a really good day! I enjoyed it, after we finished up there, Richard took us to Chip and Meagans house! only Chip was there so we all just talked to him for a bit, he said they found another baptist church they want to go to.. sad.. but Richard says he knows that church, and that they wont be going there long! SO THERE IS STILL HOPE! That was our day

Friday, THE TUCKER DAY!
So, we had all kinds of plans then fell through! that was sad, but we ended up being able to talk to NEW people! so there are still people in tucker we have not met yet! YAY! anyhow, we had a lesson with this family that went really well, and we WILL be going back, GOOD stuff! We then of course, as always. went and saw the Davis family, and as always, it was a great meeting.. but we didn't get out of there as soon as we had planed.. and it got dark, again.. so, once again, we rode home in the back woods of a southern Indian reservation! yeah. we were being fallowed and watched by all kinds of creatures! that may or may not exist! But alas! the Lord is watching out for us! as we were coming up to the high way a car came up behind us and just slowed down, and fallowed us, giving us light, it was great! and THEN! she asked us if we wanted her to drive behind us with her 4-ways on just for this big hill on the high-way! what a blessing! but here is the best part! That hill, is NOT easy to get up, especially for me and my rackety old knees! Yet somehow, we ZOOMED up that hill! I mean, I was in top gears! FLYING! up that hill! There is NO way I did that with my own strength, I was definitely given a nice little push! Coolest thing ever!

Saturday we went to see Will Coggins again, and all kinds of other people, Will still plans on being baptized and going on a mission! SO COOL! good kid,

Fast Sunday!
good day! testimonies were all awesome!
Elder Ashby and I had the 5th Sunday lesson, mostly me.. BUT IT WAS GOOD!  We talked about member missionary work, and had a few people tell there conversion stories! most of them are do in large part to the members rather then the missionaries. So that went well, although, the only ones who seemed interested after were the Jones.. WHO ELSE!? so yeah, they are going to be helping us out a lot.
We went and saw the Bourne family! this guy, James Bourne, like a mix of James Bond and Jason Bourne! BEAST! he cool, he rewl cool, (that was southern talk there) other then that, normal day!

So here are some of the weird things southern people say and do, maybe Elder Casey Martin can back me up on this..
Whenever.. used for pretty much anything, but mostly instead of just saying WHEN! example "Whenever I was 10 years old" "whenever I leave will you.."
Skreet, used in place of street, really anything with a str is skr,
alright.. just, at all and anytime during a conversation, "alright, ok," all the time!
FIXEN! exp. "Im fixen ta leave" "I was fixen ta say"  If I ever do this one whenever I get home! I give anyone permission to smack me SILLY!
people here also avoid eye contact at all costs! it's the funniest thing ever!
also, the Martin name! is INFAMOUS down here! for a number of reasons, one of them being that the last Indian Chief was a Martin.

WELP! let CamCamian lift you to new heights daily!
LOVE!
