Monday, November 16th we fed the missionaries breakfast, then cleaned the apartment. We delivered a candy bar to Brother Knight. He wasn't there so we hung it on the door in a bag. He called later to thank us for it--first time someone has called to thank us! We went to Indian Springs park (which is only a few miles away). It is a beautiful park with a great area to swim & has a small playground.
Tuesday, November 17th I cooked lunch & Barry made 10 phone calls. We did home teaching with 2 families & left messages for 3 other families. While we were out we saw a lady pushing a guy up a hill & we offered to take them home & made an appt to teach them Friday am. We ate supper with the Guyton's.
Wednesday, November 18th we went to the Temple! Got up at 4:30! Had zone training afterward. Didn't get home until after 6 & hurried to our supper appt. with Sister Kirkland. It rained all day & was still raining when we left. Barry backed up & the back left wheel went off a stone embankment & was hanging over the ditch. Almost immediately a neighbor came out to help us & then another one. They & Barry were able to push the car back on the road (in the rain!) while I drove. We did have a little body damage but probably would've had it with a wrecker also--no telling how long we would've had to wait on it though so we were very thankful for their help.
Thursday, November 19th we asked the Griffin sisters to meet us at the French Market hoping to introduce them to Lauren (the waitress that we met last Monday) but she has started working night shifts so we didn't get to see her. We delivered a birthday candy bar to the man that was going to eat his wife's candy bar & found out he did give it to her!
Friday, November 20th Barry went w/the missionaries to teach the couple we helped Tuesday but they had forgotten about it & he didn't feel good. I cooked fried chicken & we fed the missionaries. I made banana bread & we took it to Sister Kirkland & her 2 neighbors that helped us.
Saturday, November 21st we made several visits. We found a 12yr old member whose aunt wants us to teach him again & his uncle who has terminal cancer has some questions for us. We delivered another candy bar. I cooked a roast & cranberry salad for dinner after church & we took Brother Price supper.
Today, Sunday November 22nd we had dinner after church. We sat by 2 less active members & a nonmember husband & got to know them better. We helped clean up & took Brother Price home. We both got a nap today!
