After that we ran home and changed into non-sandy clothes. We
went to the Babson's home for a Family Home Evening lesson. Sister
Babson is the Young Women's President and Brother Babson is in the
Bishopbric. They have 4 kids and it was so much fun getting to know them
better and teaching their kids about the Plan of Salvation.
Tuesday we had a lesson with Ryan at the church. We
also had a lesson with him on Thursday at the church! It was a miracle
that we saw him twice this week! After our lesson with him we went to
Ms.Evelyn's and she told us that she's not interested in learning
anything from us. Also, Kim decided she didn't want to meet with us the
next day. So we lost a couple of people to teach.
Wednesday we had district meeting and then we did
service at the library. That night we had a meeting at the church and
then went to the Duncan's for a visit. They have been having some
medical problems but are doing much better. They are a lot of fun to
visit! I just love everyone here!
Thursday we had a lesson with Brother Evans. He is
doing better. It's amazing how you can see people start to change as
they read from the Book of Mormon, pray, and come to church. They don't
always see it in themselves, but it is there! They are happier! We had a
great lesson with him. That day we also did service at the thrift
store. We had lunch with a member in Calabash and then had ice cream
before heading to Shallotte to visit Autumn Care, where Brother King and
Brother Coffey are. We had a good visit with each of them and then had
dinner at a Mexican restaurant with Sister Bradford.
Friday we did our planning for the week and then
went to Ms. Hazel's for vacuuming and dinner. It was so good! After
dinner we went to visit a member in the ward who broke her ankle last
week. We vacuumed for her and dusted. After that she just wanted us to
sit and visit with her. She is the sweetest woman! She has had really
poor eye sight her whole life and right now she is very dependent on
others. I love the Relief Society and how the women will just step up
and bring in meals, clean, visit, and do anything she needs.
On the way home we drove past a pond and in that
pond was an ALLIGATOR!!!! It was only about 3 feet long, but it was
still an alligator!!! We pulled over for a few minutes to watch him, but
we definitely stayed in the car! Yesterday we saw another one in a pond
just down the road from the church that was a couple of feel longer.
Gators everywhere!!!
Saturday we did some more planning during a tropical
storm and had dinner with the Apple family. Two of the daughters had
just gotten back from youth conference that was all about missionary
work. One of the daughters is excited to go on a mission next year when
she turns 19. She comes out with us sometimes and you can tell that she
loves the gospel.
Sunday was busy and full of more dirt roads. After
church we went to Ash to try and contact a referral. Once again, no
success.... even though we heard him coughing and the TV was on. We went
to Sister King's and had a nice visit. She has over 18 snapping turtles
in her pool right now because her neighbor is trapping them and keeping
them there. They are SO UGLY!!!
After Sister King's we went to the Woods for another
good visit and then on to Sister Grantham's for dinner with her and her
husband. They are so sweet and fun and nice! They even let us borrow
their nice beach chairs to take the beach today. It is so fun having 3
beaches within 10 miles of where you live!
Sister Behrmann (said like Bear-man) is amazing! I
love her so much and I am excited to be with her. Her mom sent some
doTerra oil that is good for repelling bugs, so hopefully no more
bites!!!
Have a great week! I'm going to the beach to write some letters!
Love y'all!!! <3
