This afternoon I helped Barry do his home teaching. Two of the families were not home so we left messages. We were able to visit with one inactive that we have missed several times when stopping by. She seemed interested in coming back to church.
Tuesday we had our district meeting in Stockbridge. We usually take Elder Waite & Elder Walker to Hibachi Grill to eat. We like it there--it is a buffet and the food is good but today we were in a hurry b/c they had an appt. so we ate at the Chic Filet.
This afternoon we visited with the Day family. He said he wants to get back active in the church.
Elder Woodbury, Elder Hansen, and Elder Ericksen
This afternoon we visited with the Day family. He said he wants to get back active in the church.
The Guyton's fed us & the Elders supper. We met Brother Gutyon for the first time. He is a good cook! He cooked supper for us. Barry gave a short lesson.
Wednesday we took Sister Jones to transfer meeting. She, Elder Hanson & Elder Woodbury from Stockbridge are being transferred too. We will miss them. I will really miss Sister Jones--she is such a sweetheart.
This afternoon I helped Barry do some more home teaching. Talked to Victoria at the door--2nd time we've seen her--we've been by several times & missed her. She told us when we 1st met her that she went to LDS Business college & lived in Utah for a while so we were hoping she would come back to church but she hasn't yet. We also visited with Sister Cockram & her daughter Debbie through the door. She told us that they appreciate us remembering them. I had taken them two loaves of banana bread & at Christmas took some home made cookies & candy for her great-grandchildren who also live with her.
Thursday Barry took Brother Knight home teaching which gave me time to do a little cleaning since I didn't get to do much Monday. They visited the Huddlestons & the Wicklunds & Sister Kim Hard. Brother Knight was able to help facilitate Sister Wiklund in the process of getting on health insurance which she really appreciated.
Later Barry & I went by the drug store to pick up some medicine & talked to the lady that wants us to help her with her genealogy work. She said today was her last day at work & she will call us soon to help her. Then we visited Kelly at Verizon who helped us with the 2 rebates for Barry's phone. She said we could come by & talk to her about our church.
Friday we went walking in the cemetery that is close by. I cooked a lot of baby spinach which the Stansell's gave us. I made cornbread to go with it & it was delicious. We visited with the Branch President & family. Barry wanted to present the 10 key indicators of growth to him. We also visited with the Wiklund's & Kim. Kim has the cutest little white chihuahua that I love to hold! Sister Wicklund seemed relieved to have gotten the paperwork in for her insurance.
We ate out at the Blind Pig bbq restaurant & it was really good.
Saturday we went to Fayetteville to eat with the other senior missionaries & President Foote & his wife at Frank's at the Old Mill. The food was delicious, the place is beautiful and we enjoyed visiting with the other senior missionaries & Pres. & Sis. Foote.
Barry went home teaching with Brother Price while I stayed home & cooked a little for Sunday. I finally made the dressing! It was so good! On Sunday we don't usually get home until 1:30 so it is good to have some food cooked on Saturday for Sunday! The missionaries usually eat with us Sunday after church too.
Sunday we had 82 people at church! We have a strong family moving back into the church & everyone is happy about that. We had a sister there with her son & two nephews & she said she really liked the branch & may start coming here. We hope she does. It was her brother that slammed the door in our face the second door we knocked on when we moved here. He has a son that is a member. Now he has given permission for his whole family to be taught. His sister said she never thought that would happen & we have to agree! Hearts can be softened. This afternoon I went with Barry to home teach Brother Raybun. We've been waiting for his huge puddle to dry up some in his driveway but it is still really big so we drove to the puddle & Barry walked the rest of the way. He had a good visit with him.
