Week 18

It was a week for giving thanks for the things we have been given, a week for LOVE! as is every week!

Lets get to it!!

DAY 1

PDay, ALL KINDS OF CLEANING! the apt, the car! mostly the car! we washed it our apt for some reason, but there was no faucet so we just used pitchers and such things and poured water! only after we were DONE did one of our crazy neighbors tell us that there IS a faucet and where to find it! AHH! GREAT! that would happen to me!

Day 2

I think I have talked about the Bourne family? well, their real last name is Barny, so not sure how we got Bourne, BUT WE DID! ANYHOW! we saw her on day 2, she was as talky as ever! but she said "you guys always come at the perfect time!" she had a dilemma she asked us about, and we gave her some advice being sure to tell her that the BEST way to answer any question is to pray and read the scriptures! we told her that in particular THIS one dilemma would have answers in the Book of Mormon... We do what we have to!

Day 3

Interviews! went to Jackson to have interviews with pres! it was really good! nearly all of our zone,  including president, went to Chik-fil-a! YUM! kinda.. but the service was great, they put tables together so all of us could sit by one another! it was great!  In the next few transfers we have a total of 50 SISTERS coming in to the mission! AHH! I asked Pres how we would train them all,  he said "I have no idea!" HA! its going to be nuts!

Day 4

we walked to our old atp to get our bikes that were still there, ha, and boy oh boy was that a walk and a half, and THEN! a tracting we did go!! YAY!! I usually try not to write down and of our tracting, cause, its REALLY boring! But this day was kinda cool, kinda funny, and kinda sad.

It all started when we were on our way to the place I had picked out to track, as we were walked, out of no where came a charging DOG! Elder Ashby would have turned to the dog with open arms ready for it to eat his face! Elder Anderson, had a different approach.. HE used ME as a human shield! and hid behind me! the punk! but the dog did not eat us, but it DID fallow us and would not leave, AND almost DIED a few times cause it liked to wonder out into the road, at one point I had to scream "PUPPY NOOO!!!" out of fear that we would watch a dog DIE we turned back to walk toward where he came from, and tract over there, this dog! WOULD NOT LEAVE US! and kept trying to lead the way, SO WE CALLED HIM SPIRIT! sadly his choice in houses was AWFUL! so we stopped fallowing him, which, made him mad! HA!   While knocking on one house a truck drove by very slowly, I turned to Elder Anderson and said, "don't you love it when the people that live at the house you are knocking drive by, and KEEP on driving? as if they don't live there?" he did just that, and tried to hide behind a BUSH with his TRUCK! it didn't work, and as soon as we were on our way to the next house, he came back and pulled into the very driveway that we were just at! Wait, it get better! THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIME! WITH IN THE NEXT 5 MINUTES!! WOW! is all I could say, anyhow, in the end, we DID get into a house, after HOURS of nothignness! and it just so happens that the DOG lead us to this house! HA! anyhow, they let us in, it was a GREAT meeting, gave them a Book of Mormon, they felt the spirit! and now they live in Illinois... yeah, they moved the next day! Just our luck right?

Day 5

A day in tucker, again.. Only this time, NO ONE WAS HOME! it was the pits, we were not able to talk to anyone! well, not true, but most of the peeps we useually talk to were not home so it was a lame day, plus we were both all kinds of sick, the weather here is the worst, its HOT and then REALLY COLD! day after day is a huge change!

Day 6

MORE SERVES! I love days like this! All we did was yard work! I loved it! Elder Anderson thought it would be fun to put all kinds of leaves by a tramp and jump off it into them, we got a big pile and I said it was TIME! HE thought it was not big enough to be safe yet, I SAID "NONSENSE! As long as your aim is perfect, you will be FINE! just land your back RIGHT HERE!" (pointing the the point of most leavieness!) he agreed that this would work, and made the JUMP!    

He missed... HA! funniest thing ever, he landed, said something a long the lines of "YOU LIED TO ME!" to bad for him he couldn't do anything to me cause of the new found pain he was in! ALSO! its not MY FAULT he MISSED! if he landed where I told him to, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE!!! 

But the most pain felt that day, was by me, that night, in my let arm.. kinda concerning at first but I thought NAH! Ill be fine, the pain started and was the worst up on my left shoulder, and just below it on my upper left chest, like right under the collar bone, but extended all the way down my arm to the tip of my thumb.

I woke up MANY times in the night do to the pain, it got pretty bad! but I just kept going back to sleep as best I could and in the morning, no more pain! kinda.. it was that feeling of the after math of a lot of pain, BUT I WAS FINE! though, I MAY have tots had a heart attack during the night! so, thats a thing!

Day 7

SUNDAY!  We finally confirmed the Davis's After Dalton's all he could say was "wow" HA! he REALLY felt it! I love seeing stuff like that! it was way cool!

after church we had a big ol thanksgiving lunch thing! I LOVE THESE LUNCHES AT THE CHURCH! mostly cause we get all the left over food! and boy oh boy do we NEED IT!

WELP! that was the week! HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING! and fill it with Camcamian!

LOVE!!!

Elder Camcam Martin!
