Pert-n'hyer Redneck

May 18, 2015

Hey Y'all,
Very quick week this one was.  Monday I got some work boots and they are nice.  Tuesday we broke them  in by going back to burn more bushes and trees at LD's.  We went over there and LD was asleep so we decided that the only reasonable thing to do was to start burning bushes.  Elder Whitney climbed into the vast shrubbery and exposed it to a highly flammable liquid known to men as gasoline.  He escaped the nasty vines and wilder-beasts.  I took the tie off my neck and the shoes off my feet and doused them with gasoline and threw it into the wilderness in an effort to subdue the creatures.   It was a perfect throw.  It hit the eye of the beast and in no time the flames were roaring.  Meanwhile in the house LD wakes up to the smell of smoke.  Out the front door he walks only to find flames and pillars of smoke erupting from the back of his house.  He ventures back to find us burning down his pile of shrubbery.  Very exciting day.  

Wednesday we went to Fort Walton to gain training on how to stay healthy and survive hurricanes. That was fun.  I made it onto the mission blog.  Don't worry I am looking good ;)  Thursday we worked some more.  Friday we continued to kill it and then Saturday....Saturday almost killed us.  It all started at 8:30 in the morning.  We went with LD to breakfast at a less active's house, J.R. Kelly.  He made a giant breakfast and then we went and cut more trees down for LD.  Followed that with a trip to K.C.'s Pizza and Grille for lunch.  At this point we are stuffed out of our minds.  We get back and go out with a member to the house of an investigator who's husband had passed away during the night.  She seems to be doing really well with it so that is good.  After that we went out to the Lubbe's to eat some more....I can honestly say that I didn't know that my stomach could hold that much food.  It was a great day though. 

 Sunday we went to church and then taught some people.  Nothing too spectacular there.  Well that's all from this week.  Remember to not shoot the squirrel until you see the whites of it's eyes.  But if you don't see the whites of it's eyes shoot it anyway.
