Hey Whats up!
Its been quite the week! Its been the first week in
a while that we didn't have anything big going on so we were able to go
on exchanges. We went to a district meeting in Memphis on Tuesday
and then I drove one of the ZL's, Elder Derrick,
back to little rock for an exchange. We had a good time! Found a couple
of great people and set a baptismal date with our investigator Mark.
The next day we were driving back to Memphis and the truck had about a
quarter of a tank of a gas left in it. So we
were planning on filling up but we just got to talking and completely
forgot. I know yall are shaking your heads reading this right now, but
its worse than you think. So we were driving and we just entered on to
the bridge over the Mississippi river bridge
when I felt the truck slowing down. Before I knew it we were at a
complete stop on a 2 lane bridge over the Mississippi river. Luckily,
these types of situations have come to be all too familiar to me
throughout my life. So we decided the only thing to do
at this point was to push the truck across the bridge, because there
was no shoulder to push off too. So although there was a line of semi's
waiting behind us we pushed our little chevy Colorado all the way across
the bridge into this coned off area. Shortly
after that a highway emergency response team came and brought us gas.
It was pretty wild, but now I can atleast say I have pushed a vehicle
from Arkansas to Tennessee.
Yesterday me, Armstrong and President drove to Hope for the sunday
service. It is the smallest branch in the mish. Only 3 members were
there last sunday but it was good! The people there are awesome. During sunday
school I was teaching
about obedience and comparing it to breaking a horse and the branch
president came up to me afterwards and asked if I could get permission
to come down on p-days and ride his Tennessee walker that's green broke
right now. ha ha He even asked President if I
could. Its a pretty tempting offer. But anyways Hope was the branch
that Uncle Kelly served in. Apparently it used to be on fire back in his
day. They still remember him too! After like 50 years!
Its been a good week. We taught Stephanie and her
family again. They are doing really good. This is one of those families
that I will never forget. They are working towards baptism but have lots
of challenges. Please pray for them.
O and Elder Soelberg went home today! Its too bad.
He was one of my favorite companions and one of the best missionaries
out here!
Tell Ryan Happy Birthday! What are you doing for his birthday? And also tell Kendall I am proud of her and Happy Birthday!
When is Chantz going to back to school? Is he married yet?
Thanks for all the support fam!
