Then we went over to a members house and played poole and waited for all our clothes to get done. We thought we broke the washing machine, which we may have for a little while because it wasn't draining water and then it didn't turn on for awhile but we did figure it out. I bought a rope from tractor supply and I was showing elder walgamott the basics. Then at 5 we went to the Kimbles and had salmon and chicken and ribs and chicken wings and beans and homemade bread with apple butter and for desert we have banana bread with whip cream. Then we had kinda a slower night after that but still added up to not be so bad.
Had zone conference today, pretty cool all the deer here are having fawns now and you know the really good does protecting them and taking them across the road because that's the perfect place. A good place to see them but they might need to work on their parenting skills because a 150 lb deer finds it pretty simple to get hit by a car none the less, a 20lb week thing.
Anyways had a good time at zone conference. It is our mission presidents and his wifes last time in this mission they are going home which it's hard to leave them and we are getting a new mission president from the Congo. Only the mission president can speak English.
We also got a new car so we have more clearance. It's a 2017 Nissan rogue
Had exchanges with Elder welling and had a great time talked to a guy named Charles, who is like talking to a potatoe sack. Then we have a member who lives up in the back back woods of Petersburg the family. We went there and elder welling needed to use the restroom he ask them and they said out back. So we went and used a broken down shack with a hole dug in the ground and a wood plank with a circle in the middle and there was mold and spiders every where. Then we went back and she said it time to wash up and she gave us soap and a bucket full of water and a old rag then they started talking about canned and pickled trout and how they use the water they carry up from the creek because they don't have running water, it was very interesting elder welling said it was the most memorable thing he has done on his mission using an actual outhouse he said he has only seen them in movies. I'd say it was at the top of the list then we came back and played around with the electric fly swatter and drank mtn dew. MTC companions all the way!!!
We exchanged back with romney today and I had a great time. After they left we went back to work and then we went and had dinner with a member and had deer meat and biscuits so it was pretty good.
We went and finished teaching somebody and elder walgamott is Baptizing them so that will be cool. We definitely burnt up a lot of miles on exchanges and elder walgamott was not happy about that but we had to help the work progress.
Today we had to weekly plan...and maybe there is missionaries out there who enjoy this but I don't even like saying the word weekly planning it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, but it has to be done.
After that we went to a part of our area a little farther thinking we might have luck but today was kinda botched but we did talk to a new member in the area.
It's fathers day so I thought I would get a father's day quote, this one is for my dad but the other dads our amazing i will make one up later if you want. Thus one begins
" GOD TOOK THE STRENGTH OF THE MOUNTAIN.
THE MAJESTY OF A TREE.
THE WARMTH OF A SUMMER SUN.
THE CALM OF A QUIET SEA.
THE GENEROUS SOUL OF NATURE.
THE COMFORTING ARM OF NIGHT.
THE WISDOM OF AGES.
THE POWER OF THE EAGLES FLIGHT.
THE JOY OF MORNING IN SPRING.
THE FAITH OF A MUSTARD SEED.
THE PATIENCE OF ETERNITY.
THE DEPTH OF FAMILY NEED.
THEN GOD COMBINED THESE QUALITIES, WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO ADD.
HE KNEW HIS MASTERPIECE WAS COMPLETE.
AND SO, HE CALLED IT....DAD."
Anyways visited a couple families today but not a whole gave a priesthood blessing and then set up the rest of the baptismal program for the baptism Saturday. The font here hasn't been used here in a while. So we have a very mighty cleaning job so hopefully nothing in there is to deadly. We opened it up today and it did the look very friendly anyways I get to go go Baltimore tomorrow so wish us luck we are driving there by ourselves. I'm sure we will be fine.
Made it to Baltimore crazy experience but had fun traffic and people is just to much.
Well that's this email hook me up with letters love y'all
