Tuesday, May 3rd: we had a district meeting in Stockbridge. Zone leaders attended. Took Elder Waite & Elder Dixon to the Hibachi Grill on the way home. Elder Dixon can put the food away! We had an appointment with Tammy later in the afternoon but she cancelled on us. Called Kay Middlebrooks this afternoon & talked with her for a while.
Wednesday, May 4th: we went to the Sister Training Meeting in Fayetteville. We took the Stockbridge sisters. It was a great meeting. President & Sister Foote are always inspiring.
Sister Lydia Jones, Sister Sadler, and Sister Kiana Creech

Thursday, May 5th: Our new elder who has only been out for three months when he came here (Elder Dixon) is really sick. Elder Waite & Elder Sadler gave him a blessing. I have really tried to make him feel at home here--he is very shy. Elder Sadler helped Sister Ann Knight with the scouts tonight b/c Brother Knight was sick. Pam brought us a bunch of co op groceries & we got a bunch of co-op groceries from the Wicklund's & we took a bunch to the Cockram's.
Friday, May 6th: we made a bunch of visits today! We went by Amy Renfroe's (for the umpteenth time) but she was not there. We went to Sister Philips & talked with her husband (she was sick). We visited with Brother Winer--he is still grieving (his wife passed away). We visited the ladies in the nursing home, Sister Cox, Dorothy & Geraldine & took them some Werthers candy. They are always so glad to see us!
We went by to visit Jack & Vickie & Brother Numa but neither of them were home so we left them both a note on their door.
Saturday, May 7th: I made banana bread. Sister Shundra & her children's baptisms were cancelled b/c of a death in the family. We & the missionaries ate supper with the Knight's. The Elders & Elder Sadler gave Brother Knight a blessing & it was a special blessing. We could tell he really felt the spirit. Natalie & the kids came tonight to visit us!!!
Sunday, May 8th: Natalie & the kids came to church with us! We invited the missionaries over for lunch & Philip came right after church so we had lunch together and had a wonderful time visiting. Nat & the kids left about 7 & the missionaries came back over & visited some more. After they left Philip said, "what's next?" We had a good laugh! Busy but fun day!
I love this quote from President Monson: there are hearts to gladden, there are kind words to say, there are gifts to be given, there are deeds to be done.
