Howdy y'all!
To celebrate Halloween, for dinner the other Elders and I
made an obscene amount of French toast and ate it all while we listened to
"It's Christmas Everyday" by David Archuleta. Best Halloween ever.
This week was all over the place. Including having some
goulash, meeting two wonderful ladies over 90 years old, a wonderful friend of
ours Darlene accepting a date to be baptized, and shoveling river sand for a
man who broke his back in 5 places after wrestling an alligator.
One of the coolest parts of this week was Halloween
afternoon. We were sitting in a park doing our companionship study when we saw
an older couple struggling to open a big tent canopy. So Elder Weatherston and
I go help them set it up. Turns out they're with the NAACP and were putting off
a free candy give away/carnival for the youth in the area so they could have a
safe and happy Halloween. Cedric and Francis literally moved from Chicago to
help build and strengthen the young black community here with sports
tournaments, parties, classes, etc. We got to help them finish up all the
decorations and talk with them about what they do and what we do. It was do
much fun. We got to meet the leader of the NAACP in the county and he was super
old guy sporting a Vietnam vet cap using one of those old hand radios that has
a like a foot long antenna to listen to the Saints game. We even got the
invitation to join one of their meetings coming up! We'll have lots of
opportunities to serve and help there and share the light of Christ.
Have a blessed one!
