This week has just been full of surprises and crazy things going on! It has been interesting, but when weeks are like this happen, ah man it just flies by!
We were on exchanges this week with the Dunkirk Elders and it was awesome! We spent the latter half of Thursday with them and then Friday we spent the whole day in Dunkirk and i had really great experiences! Me and Elder Mitchell talked to this drunk guy that scared the heck outta me but we got him to do some funny stuff.. Haha it was great!
We finished out the week strong on Saturday with 3 Solid lessons, and finding 2 new investigators! We taught Connie the Word of Wisdom to start it off and she really felt good about it. Except... Her mom makes this "amazing" sweet tea every summer.. So she is struggling with that. But once she finds the real reason we obey the Word of Wisdom she'll be fine without it. For with God everything is possible! :) Then we went to D'ann and Chris. D'ann is a member of about 3 months, but still is struggling a little, and then Chris is an investigator. They aren't married, but living together but they are trying to get married, typical Hoosier ;) but they are working hard! They are struggling with money so that makes it hard to pay their tithing.. (if you have any stories of how tithing has blessed your life that would be great) But they still pay what they can, God knows their struggles and will accept as much as they can! (Just like the Widows mite) And then we went to a less actives house, who wasn't home, so we were like well there is these former investigators that live out here! So we stop by Bill and Tammy Cook! They talked with missionaries in the past, but the missionaries got double transferred out of Winchester 5 years ago, so nobody could teach them anymore. So that's where we step in! :) They are awesome!!!! We have a lesson with them today and it is going to be sweet!!!
Well that pretty much sums up our week, but it was pretty awesome!! I love it :)
Love you so much!!

okay listen to this!! So the drunk guy at Dunkirk was so scary.. like he is a complete alcoholic!! He was so moody and i felt like he was going to pull something crazy and hurt one of us!! but the funniest thing happened!!! So the dunkirk elders talked to him the day before and gave him a restoration pamphlet. so he says to us (andy) do you think i still have that pamphlet? and we were like yeah! so he says well i dont think you believe me, i need to show it to you.. so we said no we believe you andy! and he's like no i have to go get it, it will only take 30 seconds. (we were talking to him in his garage) And we were like okay you can go get it! So he was getting in a little huff trying to psyche himself up so he could run and grab it in 30 seconds. he then gets in this running position and about goes and says wait, i will do it in 40 seconds. so we were like okay thats fine!! haha so i get my watch ready to time him. He gets back in that position then i say go and he takes off!!!! hahahaha!!! goes around the corner, like stumbling but still trying to run fast, but you have to remember he is absolutely wasted!! (he weighs about 250 and was as tall as me) so he's a pretty big guy, just running in his house! he goes out of the garage, around the corner, to his gate and opens it up, sprinting into his house to find the pamphlet. me and elder mitchell are still in the garage timing him! haha, then he brakes out of his house like totally panting, but still running full speed!! and then runs through the garage and says "stop the time!" hahah so i stop it at 24.6 seconds! he was like almost pissed looking, trying to catch his breath because he had ran so hard! but he was so proud of himself he was practically crying! hahahah!!! he told us he loved us about 5 different times. it was great.. sooo funny!! but scary at the same time! & at the end, when we had to get going, we said alright andy we gotta get goin, and he says, " get the f*** out of my garage" so we get goin! haha it was scary.. but so worth it!!
