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 for st arters this week The City and County asked us to come so they could present us with a formal certificate of appreciation. and they gave me a copy of this front page headline for the state newspaper...It was fun to talk more with city and county people we worked with now that things are back to normal, I even met someone who lived in logan UT and works at a ski resort in Mountain ops just like I did. Alright so this story will be further elaborated in my written letter, but long story short, Alan tells us his toilet won't flush, so we know  a ward member who can fix any thing, the ward member comes over with a plumbing snake, says well that isn't the problem...he takes a look under the house in the crawl space and discovers a pool of "goodness" (use your imagination) John (the member) tells us what to do and how to do it. and we set to work. First step is we had to break through the old rock foundation of Alan's 1940 home and dig an access trench  to...

I just want to share 3 experiences and 3 miracles in following the spirit. Obedience entitles us to the spirit and then be obedient to the direction from the spirit. We were driving in-route to our apartment for an overdue lunch, when I saw, a mother and her 3 children on her porch and just as fast as I saw them we zipped right on past, but the spirit so immediately said...stop and go talk to them...Not wasting a moment I explained the prompting to Elder Davis who was driving and he parked the car and we walked back...to find the father outside working on his weed-wacker...we simply and honestly explained who we were and that we felt prompted to come back, His simile was so large and he immediately asked..."would you like to meet my family" to which we replied "of course!" and out came three of most adorable little girls and his expectant wife. Charming family, married for 5 years, has a car and a job and recently moved into the neighborhood as  of that we...

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...
