The garden of Eden

The world is getting dark. 

This weekend we had a branch picnic and service activity. We cleaned up the graveyard at our church building, And picked apples in the churches orchard. We only picked 5 trees and we filled up a pick up truck. We weren't planning on staying long because we wanted to go find people to teach but we got volunteered to help take the apples to a walk in fridge that someone has and then take a grill to someone's house and various other tools. Mike Sternisha was the guy we were helping and he is one of my favorites. Elder McCune and I went golfing with him once. 

This Sunday Nick Harris came to church. We didn't even know he was back in town. He said he really liked it and was wondering when is the soonest we are going to visit him. I hope he starts reading the book of Mormon. 

We also helped Mary Mazer move stuff down from her upstairs to outside. She is a super sweet old lady. She is always joking. Not to long ago she was full of energy but she has been fighting cancer for a while and it's just recently starting to get to her.

We had interviews with President in our apartment this week. Even though we are the farthest from the mission home. President Evans is probably one of the best mission presidents. He is pretty young and him and I always have good conversations. 

We went up to Eden for my third time since I've been here. It was crazy. People were nice, doorbells worked, and porches were clean. A southern Baptist even accepted a book of Mormon. We found a girl named Luna that seemed really interested.

We met with Caily Armburster twice this week. She is in fifth grade now. Her and her mother, Brittany, were just recently baptized. Their house is always chaos. Brittany is planning on moving down to Tennessee which I'm so excited for her. She needs to get a job for a while so she can move down there. She already has a job offer lined up once she gets down there and it's the best job that she will have had. Her son Shane is 4 but he looks like he is 2 because his kidneys are destroyed. He is always a blast to be around.

I still don't ever take pictures.... sorry

His heart is like 4 or 5 times to big so he chokes if he runs because his heart cuts off his air it is so big.
