So this week the branch had a REALLY early Christmas party, kinda weird, but that's how its done here!
DAYS 1 AND 2!!!
yeah.. I have no idea what happened cause its not in my journal.. so, yeah, I'm sure it was good stuff though!
DAY 3
DDM like always, and then we made our pearl river run, as always, went back to some doors we knocked the week before that said we could come back.. and well... let's just say, "they have their condemnation!"
Anyhow, later we helped a sister from the branch move a bed.. ha, old ladies.
THEN SHEPHERDING I don't know if I talked about this last week, but a branch not to far from us closed! I didn't even know they did that, well, some of the people in that branch have been moved to our branch, so we went out with bro muse to try and find some, thus starts, my horror story!
So we go a looking for this one house, and when we find it, it is apparent that it has not been lived in for YEARS!!! spooky! and we are already in the back woods of Mississippi, so even MORE spooky, so we ask some folks living not too far about it, and they give us some info, anyhow, on the way back out, bro muse spots something! he backs up, and shines his lights off the side of the road, and there it was, the creepiest looking old family/privet hidden cemetery EVER! now I'm thinking, "AWESOME!!" so I was about to get out and go check it out, I even took off my seat belt and that's when I saw it! AN UPSIDE DOWN American flag! WHAT THE!!?? yeah, I didn't get out of that car. we drove away quickly! and then went to McDonalds!
Day 4
A day full of tracting, and as always, a day full of "oh, I'm already Christian," OH GOOD FOR YOU!! man, I love tracting...
anyhow, as we were scooping out an area to tract later, we found the COOLEST HOUSE EVER!!! it's just this HUGE house hidden, we never would have found it, but I saw the TRAIN that they have in their back yard!! so, we are totes going there, and I will prob try and get a ride on that train!
We also met with a few investigators, and that all went well,
Day 5
We went a "Less Active" hunting, found 4, tried way more! one of them, Justin Pfifer, cool guy, has a chicken farm, now, I have always smelled them, but never seen inside one, it was CRAZY! THOSE LITTLE GUYS WERE ALL OVER!! nuts! he also showed us the disc golf course he is making, pretty COOL! his dad is a pro! like, a real pro, I know its disc golf so not saying much, but still way cool.
then the Branch Christmas party.. yeah, in November, odd, anyhow, it was the adult party, and it was a white elephant thing, it was fun, and I was the life of the party, but then, when am I not? FO-REALS! I came out of it with a cut in half 10 dollar bill, so yeah..
Day 6
The primary Christmas party! yay! they had us go cause, well, we are a blast, everyone had fun, there was a sad moment, of "all fun and games til.." in this case it was a choochoo train race gone horribly wrong, after lots of blood, an ER visit, and a few stitches, all was good! at first I was like "OH no!" but then I was like "this is a story"
anyhow they did have to take this poor kid to the hospital so that was sad, but the party did go on, and we went on ANOTHER train ride, but this time, no race, it was the "polar express ha, fun stuff, it was just sitting on some chairs listening to a story, and then SANTA CAME!!! AHH! HE looks a LOT like Richard Jones, our recent convert, only, need to go on weight watcher, and shave.. but other then that, looks just like him! odd...
That was pretty much our day, not much else cool happened.
Day 7
another good Sunday all kinds of good church stuff! Krystalynn Davis got up for testimony meeting, that was way cool, she thanked EVERYONE in the branch for their goodness, and not once said anything about the missionaries, this, made me SO HAPPY! really, now I know I don't have to worry about her! the branch is taking care of her, GOOD STUFF! she was the only one I was ever really worried about, now I'm good, I love it!
That night we went to the Jones' to watch the Christmas Devo, it was way good!
WELP! That's all I got for now, this time next week I will tell you ALL about how I am being transferred to Monroe Louisiana. probably..
LOVE!!
Elder CamCam Martin!
