We have had an awesome week so far. On Sunday Sister Taylor was able to get to church. She was feeling good, and so she called up Ann kelly, Kims mom, and asked her to take her. I guess she had to use some tears to pull it off but she did. I was teaching Sunday school to Tony and Elder Gray and they pulled up. It was an incredible feeling, like when Kim came to the branch social. I was so happy. It was also fast and testimony meeting for us. What a good day to come. Monday we taught five lessons. We taught this guy about families, and not smoking. We also taught a guy and his wife on the street. Elder Gray isn't shy about going up to anyone on the street. Sometimes i would pass them by becuase they look busy or are to far in their yard, I feel like people have boundries. This one was good. Then to top the night off we stopped by Mario's. I was hopping he would answer he is hard to catch. He let us in. The baseball game was on. We were just visiting and then he turned to us and said that he had a couple questions. Basically what are our basic beliefs. So we taught a first lesson. He was so interested. WE liked some of the insight Elder Gray gave about how if we didn't think it was true we wouldn't pay to come out here. So we gave him a Book of Mormon, and Restoration DVD. He said he would read that night. It was so sweet. That is how things have been going. Elder Gray is about my heighth, red hair. He has been out ten months. He lived in Bloomington Hills, but lived with his grandma in Parawan so he could play basetkball there. He just came from Summerside PEI. He is kind of following Elder Pettit around. That is about it. The weather is getting chilly. It is so dark at six thirty as well, so it makes it hard to get up. People say with in a month it should be snowing. That is just crazy. We have zone conference next monday or tuesday. That should be good. But its just another drive in to town is what they call it here. I am driving into town, meaning St John's. We will be moved into our apartment this week. Probably friday or saturday.
