Week 9

The Fair is Open...and My Coaster Geek is all over it!
 





 After the baseball game, we talked with a girl from Florida who was worked for Vivint summer sales, (Vivint is based out of Provo UT.) 3 of her co-workers had served missions so very easy connection and introduction...meanwhile we also played a very intense game of freeze tag and and the haroldsen children put me through a very rigorus 3 phase obstacle course...they feed us and their kids keep us fit;)
 Me in the middle of the Haroldsen made obsacle course...thank you stair running and weights;)
 ​Line-up at the door...
 Epic Checkers Chip fight at the Haroldsen's...this is what we walked into...we then went to a Baseball game with them, with one of their neighbors and a very anticipated Potential investigator. 
 ​ We were having our tires rotated and oil changed for our car and the tire shop had this dog (Clyde) just walking around...it was surely West Virginia...especially since our car was the only Non-truck automobile being serviced.
 ​ Last Monday, we met up with Adam (The guy with the bronco I told you about), who just graduated High School this was our 3rd lesson with him and He and I really connected over root beer floats at Davis Drive-in (Google Earth it Parkersburg W.V.) Elder williams was talking with his two friends he brought with him, so we were able to talk one on one for a little over an hour and shared about things we have overcome and he really feels that this (becoming mormon) is what he needs to do...and came for a church tour and is coming to church this week. This was one of the times I am so grateful for the experiences I had to overcome and gain a testimony of trust in the lord and the atonement to be able relate and connect so closely.

So much happened this past couple of weeks and it feels like time just keeps moving faster and time to type gets shorter, I will do my best to sum up a few of the highlights of the weeks. Exchange with Cave Spring Elders/Elder MacDonald's Surgery - An elder in our district Elder MacDonald had been suffering from some headaches and major dizziness for a week or so after some usual remedies didn't work he was recommended to go see a doctor, who after learning his heart rate was dangerously low, he was shortly admitted to Lewis Gale Hospital. The gave us a call shortly after and we met them at the hospital. As this all unfolded it was concluded that Elder MacDonald needed a pacemaker...All went well and after 3 days He was able to return to missionary service and did not have to go home:) As I watched all this unfold I was amazed at how many people involved were touched in little ways. One of the largest was the opportunity to Elder Wilkinson to feel the fulfillment of support

  Whaooo...I am staying in Parkersburg! :) Well what a week Everyone, It is Transfer Week and Guess what, I am getting another companion, and this one I am determined to keep at least two Transfers! At least this time my companion is and I are leaving successful and Happy...I am really going to miss Elder Williams, he has taught me so much and between Elder McFarland and Elder Williams I have not only become a better missionary, but I also feel stronger and happier in General and There are so many things that I know I have learned from both of my Trainers that I will carry through my mission and into my life afterwards too. Love you Both Elders!    Elder Williams and I had a great final week of our companionship, as Summer here is drawing to a close, since most of the schools here resume in the coming week or two (due to all the snow-days from the harsh winter). Funny it seems like summer just started and here it is coming to a close so soon. Elder Williams and I

Dearest All, well how grand a week...with 10 new investigators...which is simply incredible! Which will give us plenty to do while the G.'s are on vacation for a week! I have so many photos so I am going to let them tell the story...enjoy ​H.G. was excited when the L.s loaned her four great and entertaining LDS films for them to take on their week long vacation at smith mountain lake in VA We taught M.H. and his sons "The Gospel of Jesus Christ" with chalk again, we have found this to be a really great way to keep younger investigators engaged in the lesson and it helps them to retain it. ​I also had Elder Thompson come with me on an exchange here in Lewisburg and we finished putting the details on our Mormon Game show...for the Roncevete River Festival...which was a huge Success! ​Our Booth location...all set up  on Friday ...this was a  Friday - Sunday  event... Thursday  was spent a lot of plannin
