Happenings

Kay and I had the missionaries over this week (our social life). they texted me a few hours before to see if they could bring an extra missionary to dinner. It was the Mission President. so we had them over to our Storage unit/house. I had a hard time finding drinking glasses for everyone. Not one matched. I made soup bowls the day before and vegetable chowder and Kay decided to rotisserie 2 chickens so they were fed pretty well. We went out for “team-ups”. The two district leaders went with the mission President and we went with Elder Savage. We first visited the neighbors who are just coming out more to church and surprise surprise we went to visit one of my ladies I was assigned to visit teach. Shayla has been inactive for quite some time but when she asked “who is it” and heard “missionaries” she got herself together and answered the door. I chatted her up finding she was married to a Muslim who is at Oxford University in Medical school and they have one daughter together and she has two older kids. Humm Shayla is living in North Omaha in an old house with her grandma. go figure.




Thursday his renter from Denver said his furnace went out so Kay authorized a service company to go over who called to say to replace a motor it would be $800. The next morning we were off with a furnace in the truck driving to Denver. We drove 8 hours, picked up some car parts, installed a new furnace (my job was to keep Kay company) in the crawl space under the house with the spiders and dirt/sand floor. I could stand up if I made sure there were no pipes above my head. Kay made me a nice chair on a overturned 5 gallon bucket with a cinderblock on it.



Oh, I was at church and one of the bishopric members asked to speak to me. he tried to talk to me last week but we ran out right after church. last week they had a Relief society calling but they changed it this week to counselor in the Primary. I asked if I could observe this week and they said yes and did I want to do music time in a few minutes so… I did music time, for my first time ever. New things happening all the time.
