Been a pretty fun week in Petersburg West Virginia.
Started out by having exchanges with elder munden, me and him were going to one of our investigators who is in the nursing home.
Right when we walked in some lady walked up and ask us to sing because their male lead singers were
No shows. I hesitantly said yes and so did elder munden. We walked in a room where a bunch of old people were sitting and waiting for someone to sing to them.
Then the lady gave us books and the piano played. So for about 45 or so minutes we sang to everybody in the nursing home. It was a little awkward at first but then it became pretty fun.
We then went to another investigator who we just barely picked up and we talked about trucks and tractors it was pretty sick oh and the atonement.
Then we exchanged back and Me and elder walgamott went back to Petersburg.
The next day we went out and helped some random guy set traps for a prairie dog that was getting in his garden. Then I found another turtle this one wasn't a snapping turtle but of course I jumped out of the car and grabbed it was smaller this time then we put it back in the trees.
Saw my first fire flies recently and if you haven't seen fire flies they are awesome
I caught 2 of them and took videos of it pretty sick in my books.
We have been getting a lot of missionary work done we now have a total of 17 investigators and 2 for sure want to get baptized one of them is getting baptized the 23rd of June and another one is not quite sure but he asks about every time we meet with him. He is just wheelchair bound so maybe we can wheel him into the Potomac river or something to baptize him I think that would be cool.
So it's pretty sick we stay busy most the time Elder Welling my MTC companion is district leader for Romney and Petersburg and he gets to do his first baptismal interview for someone in Petersburg so he is pretty excited for that or scared whichever works.
And we been having a lot of fun as well.
We got to drive to Winchester and get an oil change on our car and get the tires rotated so that was a good long trip but on the way back we stopped at Splunkers which is a super good place to eat and there is only one in the world one of the best burgers ever when you bite into it and grease goes everywhere super unhealthy but worth every bite. And the ice cream is great too.
I'm getting super good at poole while our laundry washes at a members home we play poole in there downstairs. Every Monday I've picked it up very decently I am a hustler now I go for 40 dollars a shot... No just kidding.
I got threatened for my kids life by a member who is leaving town and needs her plants watered she will make sure my mom and dad have no grandkids if I let her plants die. She jokes around a lot but she seemed pretty serious this time. So I have come to the conclusion that I will water her flowers.
We got cut back on miles down to 1575 instead of 1650 so now we are really cutting it close and we got to go to Winchester for zone conference and also to romney for exchanges and district meetings.
But we'll make due because we good like that.
It rained and I was okay with that besides the mudslides, but now it is just way to hot the humidity is killer, right when you walk outside you are covered in sweat no matter what but our car you can start while your inside so it will cool down before we get in it. It's pretty convenient that way.
Also everybody here thinks that I am 23 to 37 years old when I ask people. Like for example the other day we pulled up to a gas pump and I ask a guy how his day was he said good then looked in the car and ask if elder walgamott was my son. And he is older than me. They think that he is 15 to 18 years old. I still thought I had a baby face but whatever.
Taught a non member about the plan of salvation and where we will go after this life he agreed but his wife didn't. Well long story short he had a massive heart attack the next day and died. So he definitely believes what we were teaching him now maybe he could come back for a little bit and tell his wife that what we were talking about was true. We told a member about that and they said that was amazing and wonderful she said the lord needed him to hear that before he could die.
We got a call about one of our solid investigators and some little birds had got around that when we got done taking him back to the nursing home after church that he passed away after we left so we had to go back about 845 that night to see if the story was straight and it turns out somebody did die but it wasn't our investigator and it was a female and it was on Friday.
Some of these rumors sure get me. Because that telephone game got totally mixed around by somebody I just want to meet the person who started it.
Anyways instead of writing in my journal I am gonna start typing the events that happen throughout the week into notes like I am doing now and then sending in an email. I figured It would be easier and my emails may have been getting boring so this way they wont be as painful to read, just longer...
Remember write me letters everybody I promise I will write back I have tons of envelopes and stamps
PS. send to 1604 Michael avenue Petersburg West Virginia 26847 and then we will be friends forever, what a deal!
Anyways have a great week I'll be waiting for letters in the box thanx!!!
Note: Once again this is Aunt Wendi, I have to agree with Elder Killian, Lightning Bugs, fireflies whatever you want to call them are AMAZING!! They are another one of my favorite things here. Our kids LOVE catching them.
