Week 24

Well ya'll, it’s been a long week. Not too much new really. We did a lot of tracting, and tried to see a lot of former investigators. Most of them either moved, or didn’t answer the door. Now that I am thinking about it, I don’t think we actually got a hold of any that we tried to haha. We did meet some other people that let us talk to them for a bit but that was about it. Earlier this week we went with a member to teach a recent converts mother, she only speaks Spanish, so obviously we can’t teach her. BUT, we did sing a song in Spanish. When the member asked if we could sing, first thought was "Haha, I cant sing to save anyone’s life!" Then it was, "Crap, I only know like the first verse of a few songs!" But then I saw him holding two hymn books so I thought we were good. Well he hands one to Elder Neville and I to share, and it’s in Spanish...what the donkey?! Well we ended up singing a song in Spanish, it was pretty cool. Then on Saturday, a few of the local churches all teamed up to rebuild a few houses here in Waycross. So we went to help, we helped tear out some "winders" to put new ones in. It was fun, and I got a free shirt out of it. Nothing much else really right now, just a lot of tracting, only one funny story from it this week. We were walking past one house that we just knocked on, and no one answered. Well while were walking to the next door, this big old dog comes running up barking at us. We got a little scared, I wont lie. It was a big dog. Well then, this little 10 year old girl come running from the next house runs past us and yells, "Don’t worry, he's scared of me!" She then runs up to the dog and starts beating the crap out of it, yelling at it screaming that she’s told him not to bark at people. It was pretty funny.
Well got to go, love you all,
Elder Holcombe
